The Jester born 1956 in Stuttgart, 1974 official confirmation of his total unfitness for military duty, 1975-79 student at the Stuttgart Music College, 1980-83 principal trumpeter with the Hamburg Symphony, since 1983 principal trumpeter with the SWR Radio Orchestra. Despite his old age - he is the senior of the Rennquintett - he has remained a child. His humor and his loose nature make him - in daily life and also on stage - the ideal opposite to our professor. The jestful elements in our concerts we owe mainly to his creativity. His desire for culinary pleasures is very distinct - he's "living life to the fullest".
