ABOUT THE ARTIST

Christian M. Kunert is an innovative representative of a new generation of highly motivated and passionate musicians. Kunert’s highly virtuosic, stylistically differentiated, nuanced and animated performances are moving and evocative. His completely new way of approaching even well-known works captures listeners’ imaginations, prompting them to listen attentively.

Since 2004, Christian M. Kunert is solo-bassoonist of the Hamburg Philharmonics as well as of the Hamburg State Opera. He is very successfully performing in symphonic orchestras, chamber orchestras and as a soloist.

In 2008 he won the second prize as well as the public’s choice award at the 57th music competition of the ARD in Munich. Since October 2010 he is teaching as a professor at the Hamburg University of Music and Theatre.
