Ms. Steimel has received prizes in several competitions including the 2010 competition of the Musikalische Akademie W�rzburg, the 58th Deutscher Hochschulwettbewerb, and, together with guitarist Josef M�cksch, the 48th International Accordion Competition in Klingenthal, Germany. She began studies with Prof. Stefan Hussong at the University of Music in W�rzburg, Germany in 2007. In 2009 Ms. Steimel received funding from ERASMUS to study in Florence with Ivano Battiston and is currently funded by a scholarship from the Studienstiftung des deutschen Volkes. Recently she became a founder of �Yehudi Menuhin-Live Music Now� and has been playing with the Philharmonic Orchestra of W�rzburg since 2009.
