小学生の頃から、将来は音楽家への道しか考えられなかったという彼女。 いくつもの音楽コンクールで好成績を残し、州や国の青少年管弦楽団とユンゲ・ドイチェ・フィルハーモニーで初期のオーケストラ経験を積む。レナーテ・グライス＝アルミン、続いてペーター＝ルーカス・グラーフに師事し、学生の時分から早くもドイツ・カンマーフィルハーモニーで腕を磨く。2003年に楽団の共同経営者となり、常任メンバーとなる。

最愛のオーケストラであるカンマーフィルの持ち味として、ステージでのエネルギッシュなパフォーマンスと、メンバー同士の信頼関係やチームとしての結束を挙げている。

楽団の外では、室内楽を演奏したり、家族との時間を楽しむ。お気に入りは北ドイツのビーチと郷里ラインヘッセンの白ワイン。それにおいしい食べ物と本があれば言うことなし。

Violinist Konstanze Lerbs studied in Hanover and Cologne. She did post-graduate studies with Rainer Kußmaul at the University of Music in Freiburg and also studied Baroque violin in Trossingen. This was followed by numerous performances as a soloist and in chamber ensembles, before she joined The Deutsche Kammer­philharmonie Bremen in 1995.

Apart from the orchestra, she continues to pursue her interest in chamber music, in which she has a wide stylistic range and also loves making excursions into the cross-over genre.

Outside music, she dedicates her attention and her interest to her children and her home in Bremen.

Sebastian Steinhilber was born in 1990 and began learning the violin aged 8 but quickly switched to the viola. He gained his first orchestral experiences in Reutlingen Youth Orchestra and in the Baden Württemberg Regional Youth Orchestra. While at college, Sebastian Steinhilber was a member of the Young German Philharmonic for many years and therefore gained deep insights into the world of orchestral playing. Between 2014 and 2016 he completed a course of study at Bamberg Symphony Orchestra’s Joseph Keilberth Orchestra Academy which enabled him to further deepen his already professional experiences.

Sebastian Steinhilber is currently studying wth Tatjana Masurenko at the Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy College of Music and Drama Leipzig, having previously earned his bachelor’s degree with Professor Roland Glassl at the College of Music and Performing Arts in Frankfurt. He has also taken inspirational and instructive masterclasses with teachers such as Hartmut Rohde, Atar Arad, Garth Knox and Françoise Gneri. Sebastian Steinhilber has been a third year Academy Student with the Deutsche Kammer­philharmonie Bremen since March 2019.
