Heike Matthiesen Foundation

Recording a full album of music written by Sidney Pratten, that was Heike’s dream. We want to make that dream come true. Join us!

Heike Matthiesen was so much more than a concert guitarist, she was all about sharing her passion and inspiring others to make an impact. One of Heike’s last wishes was to record a full album of Madam Sidney Pratten’s music on a historic guitar made in 1863 formerly owned by Sidney Pratten herself. Sadly Heike passed away after a over 4-year battle with cancer and she was unable to make this project happen. We promised her that we would do this project.

We are confident that we will make this a succesful project, together with you for Heike.
