Trumpet Consort Matthias Höfs releases ensemble CD

In order to focus entirely on his work with the Trumpet Consort and the creation of a joint CD, Prof. Matthias Höfs took a semester off from his active teaching duties at the Hamburg University of Music and Drama. The result is a real eye-opener: On November 15, the CD will be available in stores and on streaming platforms. The recordings reflect the stylistic breadth of the rehearsals and cover a broad spectrum from classical to romantic to modern.
In his ensemble, Matthias Höfs brings together students and alumni of his trumpet class, because for him, the close connection between training and practice is a source of inspiration: "Trumpet studies are particularly diverse because they not only teach technical skills, but also require a deep understanding of the stylistic and historical contexts of music," explains Matthias Höfs. "It is very important to us that our students not only master the modern trumpet, but are also familiar with historical performance practice on old instruments and develop other stylistic areas." This is essential in today's music world, as the demands on professional musicians are becoming increasingly diverse.
Excerpts from the CD will be presented at a pre-Christmas concert.
