Gottfried von der Goltz - baroque violin has made a respected international name for himself as a Baroque violinist and an Artistic Director of the Freiburg Baroque Orchestra. He made the specialist world sit up and take notice with successful CD recordings of the regrettably long-forgotten music of the Dresden Baroque and Bach’s sons. Nevertheless, he does not want to restrict himself to being a specialist in a particular repertoire. His far-reaching discography, ranging from the 17th century to the modern, shows instead that he is a tremendously versatile and flexible musician. A CD with works by Johann Christoph Friedrich Bach, the third composer son of Johann Sebastian Bach, recently appeared under his leadership. In addition to his multi-layered chamber music engagements, Gottfried von der Goltz is Artistic Director of the Norwegian Baroque Orchestra. As a professor, he is also a popular teacher of baroque and modern violin at the College of Music in Freiburg.
Kristin von der Goltz - baroque cello studied under Christoph Henkel in Freiburg and William Pleeth in London. She was also a member of the Freiburg Baroque Orchestra from 1991 to 2004. Today she performs on the modern and the Baroque cello and is in international demand as a solo cellist, working with Nikolaus Harnoncourt, Ton Koopman, Marc Minkowski and others. She has been a member and soloist with the BerlinBarockSolisten since 2006 and, since 2009, as a solist with the Munich Chamber Orchestra. She was a guest lecturer at the International Bohemia Festival in Prague and at the Mannheim Orchesterakademie. From 2004 to 2009 she taught Advanced Class in Modern Cello at the College of Music for Catholic Church Music in Regensburg, Germany.
