This year the prestigious German trumpeter Matthias Höfs will give an international master class in the music school of Iserlohn. He received his training from Prof. Peter Kallensee at the University of Music and Performing Arts Hamburg and Prof. Konradin Groth at the Karajan Academy of the Berlin Philharmonic. At the age of 18, he became the principal trumpeter of the Philharmonic State Orchestra Hamburg. At the same time Höfs became a member of the ensemble GERMAN BRASS, with which he was successful worldwide. Since the first concert of the ensemble in 1985, he has written arrangements for himself and his colleagues that inspire the brass world in an innovative, sustainable and cross-genre way.
The lessons will start on 2nd October and end with the „Concert of the Master Students“ on Friday, 5th October (8 p.m.).
Active participants of the masterclass will have single lessons in front of the group or following the advice of the guest artist. The lessons will be held in German and English language. Passive participation (as listener) is possible for the whole time of the masterclass (limited number)
