Concert
Matthias Höfs, trumpet
Matthias Hoefs has always displayed a pioneering spirit, constantly expanding the horizon of his instrument, either through close collaboration with other composers who are inspired by his unparalleled virtuosity and joy of experimentation, or as a “trumpet ambassador” in his native state of Schleswig-Holstein, in northern Germany, or in collaboration with instrument makers Max and Heinrich Thein.
Since 2000, Matthias Höfs has been teaching as a professor at the University of Music and Theatre in Hamburg, where he inspires his students with great enthusiasm, imparting his passion for the instrument to them. In addition to his extensive concert performances as a solo trumpeter and chamber musician, Höfs has produced numerous solo CDs, and together with German Brass, over 20 recordings.
SYNOPSIS
In 2024, Spanish Brass celebrates its 35th anniversary with different recordings, presenting them to the public during the 24/25 season. “Spanish Brass & Friends” is a project that recalls the fourth recording they carried out in 2001, and which is now updated with a new internationally renowned collaborator: German trumpeter Matthias Höfs, who has recently worked with SB. This time, they seek synergies to create a unique and unrepeatable project that will be presented to the public in July 2024.
With a varied and eclectic repertoire in which the soloist will participate both as a soloist and in ensemble, accompanied at all times by Spanish Brass.
