She took part in many chamber music classes with great dedication and success. Thereby she plays fiddle and viola in turns. During the "Kammermusikwoche Ermatingen" and the "music on the isles" in Scotland Johanna was concertmaster and also performed soloistic with orchestra. Johanna Tüscher is multiple awardee of the Swiss music competition – as a soloist as well as in chamber music. 2012 she won the first price and a free class choice as a special honour in the finals of the Swiss youth music contest with her ensemble, the Beryl quartet.

Travel to Greece and improve and deepen your knowledge of Attic Greek. Which
friend of Hellas wouldn’t be tempted? In the entire world there is only one
opportunity to do so.
Students from many countries and backgrounds assemble in a large, shady
garden on the rocky shores of the Gulf of Corinth and discover to their
surprise that they can converse, read and discuss stimulating ancient texts
all in the language of ancient Greece.
The seminar, a project of the Hellenikon Idyllion, has been offered by the
center's founder Andreas Drekis for twenty years as a special opportunity
for students of ancient Greek. His hotel also hosts musicians and artists,
whose concerts and performances enliven many an evening. A short trip to see
objects of interest and a production in an ancient theatre is also possible.
The Hellenikon Idyllion is located on the north coast of the Peloponnese
near Aigion, a Greek vacation destination thanks to its particularly
alluring and relaxing character. Accommodation is available in rooms with
3-4 beds for student participants. Single and double-bed rooms are also
available to adults upon request.
The price for accommodation in the 3-4 bed rooms and for the course is
