About me

Marc Engelhardt was born in Radevormwald in 1961. During his studies, Marc received music lessons from professor Günter Pfitzenmaier in Cologne, which was followed by him studying with professor Klaus Thunemann in Hannover. At first, Marc was a member of the Junge Deutsche Philharmonie and the European Community Youth Orchestra where he played with conductors like Claudio Abbado and Leonard Bernstein. In 1986, he was committed as principal bassoonist in the former Radio Symphony Orchestra of Saarbrücken. In this position he has also played with the Radio Symphony Orchestras of Munich (BR), Hamburg (NDR), Cologne (WDR), Frankfurt (HR), the Bamberg Symphony, the Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen and the Hamburg State Opera with conductors like Myung-Whun Chung, Sir Colin Davis, Paavo Järvi, Christoph Eschenbach, Manfred Honeck and Semyon Bychkov. His chamber music expertise is strongly shaped by his connections with trumpet player Matthias Höfs, saxophonist Daniel Schnyder, the Stuttgart Academy, and the ensemble Fagottissimo Stuttgart.

Since the mid-90s, Marc has been granted lecturships at the Hochschule für Musik Saar as well as the University of Music and Performing Arts Stuttgart. He has established successful classes at both universities. In 2001, Marc was appointed professor at the University of Music and Performing arts Stuttgart, where he has been working full-time since 2007. Moreover, he is also the dean of his faculty and works as an appraiser for the German Science Council.

His master classes and his activity as a jury member have taken him around the world to France, Russia, Poland, Japan, China, South-Korea, Switzerland, and the United States of America. As a soloist, he has been performing with the RSO Saarbrücken, the State Philharmonic Orchestra Ludwigshafen, the Sonderjyllands Symphony Orchestra, the Sudecka Philharmonic, and the chamber orchestras of Cologne and Heilbronn among many others. His core repertoire consits of classical bassoon concertos by Vivaldi, Mozart, Hummel, Weber, and Berwald, but also various debut performances.

Listen to Marc’s live recording of the concerto for bassoon and orchestra in B-flat major, KV 191, by W.A. Mozart:

Allegro

Andante ma adagio

Rondo, Tempo di minuetto

Teaching

Marc considers his most significant task to be his dedicated pedagogical work. His alumni have won numerous national as well as international competitions, and they play in orchestras located all around the world.
