From the Scene: SALON OUTSIGHT in Conversation with Co Streiff

Franziska Bruecker10-29-20261 min. read

In the “From the Scene” series, musicians from the Moods universe share their stories. For the November issue, “SALON OUTSIGHT” founder Franziska Bruecker sat down for a conversation with Co Streiff.

Saxophonist, bandleader, and sideman Co Streiff has been performing on stages around the world for forty years. Forty years? Not quite. A gap in her biography throws that statement into question.The singer and composer Franziska Bruecker has invited us to this conversation. As part of her “Carte Blanche” at Moods, she founded SALON OUTSIGHT—the feminist salon for the performing arts. SALON OUTSIGHT talks with Co Streiff about risk in music, supposed gaps in her biography, menopause and comebacks, the founding of Moods, and a rescue from the valley of tears. And she invents the plural form of “courage”: “Müeter.”  You can read the full interview here:
