Katharina Andres teaches in Bremen

Katharina Andres developed her interest in early music at an early age at the Saarbrücken music school through ensemble lessons with Bernhard Stilz, where she became acquainted with the music and instruments (recorder, crumhorn, shawm, pommer, dulcian) of the 16th and 17th centuries. At the age of twelve, she received her first baroque oboe lessons from Elsa Frank. She completed her studies at the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis with Conrad Steinmann and Katharina Arfken with two diploma concerts: 2005 with a focus on baroque (recorder and baroque oboe), 2006 with a focus on renaissance (recorder, shawm, pommer and dulcian).

Since then, she has also worked extensively with the classical and romantic repertoire and instruments. She has been principal oboist with the Prague orchestra Collegium 1704 under the direction of Václav Luks since 2013 and has been teaching historical oboe at the HfMDK Frankfurt am Main since 2020.
