Born in 1989 to a musical family on the outskirts of Berlin, Konstanze Glander began learning the violin at the age of 5. As well as being very musical in her youth, dance was also a strong influence and it was for this reason that, as far as her career aspirations were concerned, she was a ›late bloomer‹. It was eventually an opera production with the National Youth Orchestra which brought about the decisive change.

Konstanze Glander studied with Professor Axel Wilczok and Stefan Hempel at Rostock College of Music and Drama. For her final performance she played Mozart’s violin concerto with the North German Philharmonic of Rostock. She was also a member of the Gustav Mahler Youth Orchestra and dedicated herself during her studies to the music of the tango.

As a member of various ensembles, Konstanze Glander was able to amass a wealth of artistic experience and it was as an Academy Student at the Staatskapelle Berlin and Daniel Barenboim that she gained valuable insights into the behind-the-scenes world of opera, ballet and the concert hall. During her time with the English Baroque Soloists and the Orchestre Revolutionnaire et Romantique in London, she was able to hone her Baroque and Classical technique. The direct collaboration with John Eliot Gardiner, who led the workshops and teaching sessions, was a unique experience.

Konstanze has been a permanent member of the Deutsche Kammer­philharmonie Bremen since October 2018, where dance is still her greatest passion.

Juliane Bruckmann has been a member of the Deutsche Kammer­philharmonie Bremen since 2017. She is also a welcome guest member of orchestras such as the Estonian Festival Orchestra, the Basel Kammerorchester, the Ensemble Resonanz, Les Siècles, Boston Early Music Festival Orchestra and Tafelmusik Baroque Orchestra.

This double bass player is also an active chamber musician. As a member of the Franz Ensemble, which was awarded an Opus Klassik in 2020, she has played at such renowned festivals as Musikfest Bremen, the Gezeiten Konzerte in East Friesland and the Kissinger Summer.

As a junior student, Juliane Bruckmann was taught by Gottfried Engels in Cologne and continued her studies with Bozo Paradžik in Freiburg, with Dane Roberts in Frankfurt and Joёlle Morton in Toronto. During her studies, Juliane was a scholarship holder of both the German National Academic Foundation and of Live Music Now – the organisation founded by Yehudi Menuhin. She was also a member of the Junge Deutsche Philharmonie and an intern with the SWR Sinfonieorchester. Particularly close to her heart is her educational work in the field of music. She is a founding member of the German educational working group PAK Deutschland e.V. and co-designer of many of the Deutsche Kammer­philharmonie Bremen’s collaborative projects with the Bremen Ost Comprehensive School.

Bettina Wild moved from her native city of Münster to study the flute in Vienna, where she graduated ›with distinction‹ and received the Prize of Merit of the Austrian Ministry for Outstanding Artistic Achievements.

Subsequently she was a member of the Orchestra Academy of the Berlin Philharmonic. Following a brief appointment in Münster, she became a soloist with The Deutsche Kammer­philharmonie Bremen in 1993.

She has also had a teaching assignment at the University of the Arts in Bremen since 1997 and gives masterclasses at the Orchesterzentrum Dortmund and the University of Music in Lübeck.

Jonas Krause studied Percussion with Andreas Boettger, Guido Marggrander, Erich Trog and Hilko Schomerus at Hanover College of Music, Drama and Media. In 2014 he earned himself a coveted place in the Junge Deutsche Philharmonie. He is co-founder of ensemble reflektor and a member of The Orchester im Treppenhaus, both of which are classical ensembles that devote themselves to alternative and innovative performance styles. As well as classical music, this percussionist also has a deep connection with Jazz. Crucial to this was his one-year course in Popular Music at the Saint Paul Conservatory for Performing Artists in Minnesota, USA, as well as his private lessons on the drum kit with the renowned Jazz musician Holger Nell.

Jonas Krause began the 2016/17 season as Academy Student with the Essen Philharmonic, transferring as Principal Percussionist to the Mecklenburg Staatskapelle Schwerin in March 2017. He has won the Jugend Musiziert competition several times and also won prizes at the Minneapolis Jazz Festival and the Eau Claire Jazz Festival during his stay in the USA.

The viola player Barbara Linke-Holicka was born in Prague in 1976. Initially a student at the Prague Conservatory, she later went on to study with Professor Kim Kashkashianan at the Hanns Eisler College of Music in Berlin, where she attained her degree with honours.
