[4] Teachers had been Johannes Schöllhorn [5] and Adriana Hölszky. [3]

[6] [7] Until 2023, she was scholarship recipient at the Norwegian Academy of Music, with Helmut Lachenmann as her mentor.

Personal life

Style

Streich composes music of contrasts, [17] cold and hot is the contrast in ISHJÄRTA (Ice Heart). [18] Streich uses electronics and prepares instruments with small motorised machines, that create a mechanical sound. [17] For the first time in SEGEL (2017), she has been creating imperfect floating, unclear chords through spectral transformation, called spectral tonality. [17] [19] Alan Gilbert said in an interview: "She integrates the performers strongly into the creative composition process." [14]
