Heidi grew up in Germany.
Beginning at the Highschool of Music in Aachen (D), she later studied at the conservatoire in Winterthur (CH), finishing with a teacher`s diploma and classical orchestra diploma.At the beginning of her musical career, she performed in numerous classical orchestras and chamber music formations and played concerts in many European countries.

Her first contacts with Celtic music in 1988, brought her back to her own folk music roots from her childhood, when she used to play various folk music styles with her brothers and her father (her brother Joe Eisenburger is still a musical partner and plays as special guest in her band). 
Since then her favourite styles of music have become Irish-Celtic, Cape Breton, Bluegrass and Scandinavian. With arrangements and compositions for the band, and the development of her voice, she has found her own sound in the world of Celtic music.

Together with Stef she played concerts around Europe as the duo “Heidi and Stef” and with other Celtic folk music formations like: “Stef`s Irish Folkband” and “Irish Connection”. Since 1998 she has been performing with her current Band the “Bow Triplets”. Various studio recordings, radio and TV performances document her intense and rich musical life.

Apart from playing herself she is a devoted violin teacher, working at two teachers’ training colleges in Switzerland where she lives together with her family.
