Its primary occupation is the performance of authentic Baroque chamber music pieces. The English Baroque term "Consort" accurately describes an ensemble comprising one or two soloists and a continuo of cello and harpsichord. The Consort's open structure provides the fundament for the comprehensive array and musical diversity of this performance in the monastery church, whose outstanding acoustics and atmosphere are able to document the complete range of Baroque virtuosity. An addition is the Sanssouci Trio, a work written by Bernhard Krol especially for the Wolfgang Bauer Consort. The piece underlines the flexibility and power of musical expression of this traditional ensemble in many genres, up to and including contemporary compositions.</p> <p class="Inhalt" align="LEFT"><b>Wolfgang Bauer</b>, the winner of, among others, the Munich ARD competition, is one of the leading international trumpet soloists. He is a professor at the Stuttgart University of Music and Performing Arts and has had consecutive engagements as solo trumpeter with the Munich Philharmoniker, the Frankfurt Radio Symphony Orchestra and Bavarian Radio's Symphony Orchestra.</p> <p class="Inhalt" align="LEFT">Together with the basso continuo (figured bass), <i>Thomas Strauss </i>on harpsichord and <i>Clemens Weigel </i>on cello, the three form the basis of the Consort who are joined by two or three high strings, depending on the piece. <i>Sebastian Hamann</i>, the first concert master of the Frankfurt Opera and professor in Lucern has performed as soloist with, among others, the Opéra de la Bastille and the Cologne Philharmonic Orchestra. He can be heard here as first violin and as soloist on Johann Sebastian Bach's Sonata no. 3. <i>Ingrid Albert </i>from the Frankfurt Radio Symphony Orchestra on the viola and the violinists <i>Verena Sommer</i>, <i>Gerhard Urban</i> with <i>Thomas Jauch</i>, the solo contrabassist for the Bavarian State Opera, Munich, round off, depending on the piece, the needs of the string section. <i>Ingo Goritzki,</i> professor at the Stuttgart Conservatory and soloist with many orchestras and chamber music ensembles such as Villa Musica and the Stuttgarter Bläserakademie, can be heard here as oboe soloist on the Bach Concert in A Major. The multiaward winning flautist, <i>Heidrun Laukemann</i>, performed regularly for four years with the German Symphony Orchestra. Today, she is a freelance teacher and performer.</p> <p></p> <table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="2" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td align="RIGHT" nowrap width="49%"> </td> <td align="CENTER" nowrap width="2%"> </td> <td nowrap width="49%"></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="3" align="CENTER" nowrap> <p class="InhaltCenter"><font size="5">The Ensemble</font></p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="RIGHT" nowrap width="49%"> </td> <td align="CENTER" nowrap width="2%"> </td> <td nowrap width="49%"> </td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="3" align="CENTER" nowrap> <p class="InhaltCenter"><b>Soloists:</b></p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="49%"> </td> <td width="2%"> </td> <td width="49%"> </td> </tr> <tr> <td class="InhaltRight" align="RIGHT" nowrap width="49%"> <p class="InhaltRight">Wolfgang Bauer</p> </td> <td align="CENTER" nowrap width="2%"> </td> <td class="Inhalt" nowrap width="49%"> <p class="Inhalt"><i>Trumpet</i></p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td class="InhaltRight" align="RIGHT" nowrap width="49%"> <p class="InhaltRight"> Sebastian Hamann</p> </td> <td align="CENTER" nowrap width="2%"> </td> <td class="Inhalt" nowrap width="49%"> <p class="Inhalt"><i>Violin</i></p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td class="InhaltRight" align="RIGHT" nowrap width="49%"> </td> <td align="CENTER" nowrap width="2%"> </td> <td class="Inhalt" nowrap width="49%"> </td> </tr> <tr> <td class="InhaltRight" align="RIGHT" nowrap width="49%"> <p class="InhaltRight">Verena Sommer</p> </td> <td align="CENTER" nowrap width="2%"> </td> <td class="Inhalt" nowrap width="49%"> <p class="Inhalt"><i>Violin</i></p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td class="InhaltRight" align="RIGHT" nowrap width="49%"> <p class="InhaltRight">Gerhard Urban</p> </td> <td align="CENTER" nowrap width="2%"> </td> <td class="Inhalt" nowrap width="49%"> <p class="Inhalt"><i>Violin</i></p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td class="InhaltRight" align="RIGHT" nowrap width="49%">Ingrid Albert</td> <td align="CENTER" nowrap width="2%"></td> <td class="Inhalt" nowrap width="49%"><i>Viola</i></td> </tr> <tr> <td class="InhaltRight" align="RIGHT" nowrap width="49%"> <p class="InhaltRight">Clemens Weigel</p> </td> <td align="CENTER" nowrap width="2%"> </td> <td class="Inhalt" nowrap width="49%"> <p class="Inhalt"><i>Cello</i></p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td class="InhaltRight" align="RIGHT" nowrap width="49%"> <p class="InhaltRight">Thomas Strauss</p> </td> <td align="CENTER" nowrap width="2%"> </td> <td class="Inhalt" nowrap width="49%"> <p class="Inhalt"><i>Harpsichord</i></p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td class="InhaltRight" align="RIGHT" nowrap width="49%"> <p class="InhaltRight"> Thomas Jauch</p> </td> <td align="CENTER" nowrap width="2%"> </td> <td class="Inhalt" nowrap width="49%"> <p class="Inhalt"><i>Double Bass</i></p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="RIGHT" nowrap width="49%"> </td> <td align="CENTER" nowrap width="2%"> </td> <td nowrap width="49%"> </td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="3" align="CENTER" nowrap> <p class="InhaltCenter"><b>Guest Soloists:</b></p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="49%"> </td> <td width="2%"> </td> <td width="49%"> </td> </tr> <tr> <td class="InhaltRight" align="RIGHT" nowrap width="49%"> <p class="InhaltRight">Ingo Goritzki</p> </td> <td align="CENTER" nowrap width="2%"> </td> <td class="Inhalt" nowrap width="49%"> <p class="Inhalt"><i>Oboe</i></p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td class="InhaltRight" align="RIGHT" nowrap width="49%"> <p class="InhaltRight">Heidrun Laukemann</p> </td> <td align="CENTER" nowrap width="2%"> </td> <td class="Inhalt" nowrap width="49%"> <p class="Inhalt"><i>Flute</i></p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td class="InhaltRight" align="RIGHT" nowrap width="49%"> </td> <td align="CENTER" nowrap width="2%"> </td> <td class="Inhalt" nowrap width="49%"> </td> </tr> </table> </td> </tr> </table> <p></p> <center>  <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <center> <center> <p><br> </p> </center> <div align="center"> <center> <p><a name="video"></a><br> </p> <p><br> <br> <br> <br> <br> </p> </center> </div> <p><br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br>  </p> </center> </center> <table class="tabelletect" width="640" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" align="center"> <tr> <td> <p class="InhaltCenter"><i>Giuseppe Torelli (1658-1709)<br> </i><b>Sonata in D, G 1<br> </b>1.

Renowned soloists and ensembles from the international arena repeatedly welcome the opportunity to appear here - enjoying the unparalleled acoustic and architectural beauty of this <b><i>World Heritage Site</i></b> (monastery church, cloister gardens, lay refectory, etc.), providing exquisite performances of secular and sacred music.</p> <p class="Inhalt">Under the patronage of the <b><i>Evangelical Seminar</i></b>, the <b><i>Maulbronn Monastery Cloister Concerts</i></b> were instigated in 1968 with an abundance of musical enthusiasm and voluntary leadership. Within the hallowed walls of the <b><i>classical grammar and boarding school</i></b>, existent for more than 450 years, some of society's great thinkers, poets and humanists, such as Kepler, Hölderlin, Herwegh and Hesse received their first impressions.</p> <p class="Inhalt">The youthful elan, the constructive participation of the pupils, continuing the tradition of their great predecessors, constructs an enlightened climate in which artistic ambitions can especially thrive. Twenty-five concerts take place between May and September. Their success can be largely attributed to the many voluntary helpers from near and far.
