Drummer Philo Tsoungui

»If I have the opportunity to reach out, that’s definitely the thing that’s closest to my heart.«

Philo tours the world as a drummer with bands like Mars Volta and rappers like Chefket, but her beginnings lie in classical music. 

In an interview with artistic director Steven Walter, she reveals how her path from studying percussion led her to drums and who Philo wants to reach in her fellowship at Beethovenfest 2024.
