✨Having a mentor or a coach can change everything in an artist’s life!✨

Als Double Coach begleitet die international gefeierte Mezzosopranistin Marina Viotti ein Voice-Piano-Duo aus Lausanne und bietet genau das, was sie sich früher selbst gewünscht hat: eine externe Perspektive, ehrliches Feedback und Struktur in der künstlerischen Arbeit. Das Migros-Kulturprozent hat Marina seit ihren Anfängen unterstützt, jetzt gibt sie diese Unterstützung als Coach weiter und zeigt, wie wichtig Austausch und Begleitung für Kunst- und Kulturschaffende sind. 

 
En tant que Double Coach, la mezzo-soprano de renommée internationale Marina Viotti accompagne un duo piano-voix de Lausanne et offre exactement ce qu’elle aurait souhaité avoir plus tôt: un regard extérieur, des retours sincères et de la structure dans le travail artistique. Le Pour-cent culturel Migros soutient Marina depuis ses débuts: aujourd’hui, elle transmet à son tour ce soutien en tant que coach et montre à quel point les échanges et l’accompagnement sont essentiels pour les artistes et les acteur·rice·s culturel·le·s .

 
Come Double Coach, il mezzosoprano di fama internazionale Marina Viotti accompagna un duo piano-voce di Losanna e offre proprio ciò che avrebbe voluto avere in passato: uno sguardo esterno, un feedback sincero e struttura nel lavoro artistico. Il Percento culturale Migros sostiene Marina fin dagli inizi; oggi lei restituisce questo sostegno nel ruolo di coach e dimostra quanto siano importanti lo scambio e l’accompagnamento per le e gli artiste/i e operatrici/ori culturali.
