As of October 1, 2025, I am very excited to step in once again for Prof. Julia Fritz to teach the recorder class at Stella Vorarlberg Privathochschule für Musik for the coming year. I am grateful for the warm welcome and for the trust placed in me.

The appointment committee was composed not only of members of the faculty but also of internationally renowned university professors. I very much look forward to working with the students in Feldkirch and to the artistic exchange ahead.

"Nature" was honored with the Supersonic Award by Pizzicato. I am deeply grateful to Remy Franck for his thoughtful and generous review.

He writes: “The musicians on this album demonstrate the beauty of nature through music, featuring flute pieces ranging from 900 years ago to the present day, including works by Hildegard von Bingen. (…) Listeners forget to think about the instruments or the musicians’ technical mastery and focus only on the sound world conjured by Schambeck and her colleagues.”

On July 4, 2025, my debut album Nature was released with BR-Klassik and GENUIN classics. An incredible amount of love, dedication, and countless hours have gone into this recording, and I am deeply grateful that it is now available on all major streaming platforms and in music stores. My heartfelt thanks go to the wonderful team at Bayerischer Rundfunk, the entire GENUIN team, all crowdfunding supporters, the musicians and composers, and everyone working behind the scenes who helped bring this project to life.

It is a special honor for me to receive the "Bavarian Arts Award 2024". - After thousands of hours of practicing and countless beautiful and challenging moments in my musical life, this prize is an award that goes not only to me. - It is also an award for all those who have supported and encouraged me over the years. To be selected by the jury and honored by Markus Blume, state minister of science and art, motivates me in a special way to continue my way in music and to develop myself, the flute and my music further. → More information
