Daniel Trumbull
For Daniel, communication with the audience is central to his search for the ideal concert experience. As a scholarship holder of Concerto21, the podium for the 21st century concert, he had the opportunity to develop this idea further. His intimate harpsichord recitals now touch people all over Europe, for example at RADIALSYSTEM V in Berlin, Handel House London or the Köthener Bachfesttage.
In addition to his solo performances, he is a sought-after ensemble musician, a permanent member of the Lauttencompagney Berlin, he performs with la festa musicale with Ensemble Polyharmonique, in productions of the Komische Oper Berlin or the Staatstheater Nürnberg, as well as at festivals such as the Thüringer Bachwochen or the Händelfestspiele Halle. With his ensemble Tr!Jo he won prizes at the Berlin Bach Competition and the Biagio Marini Competition.
As harpsichordist of Red Bull Flying Bach, he interprets J.S. Bach's "Well-Tempered Clavier" in major halls worldwide, including the KKL Luzern, the Berlin Konzerthaus, the Sydney Theatre or the Chicago Civic Opera.
Daniel Trumbull regularly assists at various master classes and has been teaching at the Hochschule für Musik Hanns Eisler Berlin since 2016.
