Tobias Krieger, Trumpet

Tobias Krieger started playing the trumpet at the age of three and became a junior student at the Academy of Music in Munich with Hannes Läubin and Thomas Kiechle at the age of 14. Since the autumn of 2018 he has been studying in the trumpet class of the Academy of Music in Karlsruhe with Reinhold Friedrich.
In 2023 he won a scholarship for his success in the 3rd round of the German Music Competition. At the 2021 International Trumpet Competition in Bad Säckingen, he won the First Prize. In 2019 he reached the 5th place at the International Théo Charlier Competition in Belgium. He won the First Prize twice at the German national youth competition ›Jugend musiziert‹ in the trumpet solo category, each time with the highest possible score (2015 in Hamburg, 2018 in Lübeck).
He was able to gain orchestral experience with the National Youth Orchestra of Germany from 2014 to 2017, the Gustav Mahler Youth Orchestra from 2020 to 2022, as well as in professional orchestras, such as the Philharmonie Baden-Baden or the Heidelberg Philharmonic Orchestra Heidelberg
Since the autumn of 2019, he has been a permanent member of the brass quintet Karidion Brass, with whom he had the pleasure of undertaking two concert tours to the Expo in Dubai at the beginning of 2022.
He had particularly noteworthy performances as a soloist, for example, at the Weingartner Musiktage 2016 and in September 2017 at a concert with the Lions Symphony Orchestra in Regensburg. From 2018 onwards, several concerts followed with various chamber orchestras, the Bergische Symphoniker and the Württemberg Chamber Orchestra Heilbronn.
Together with Sandro Hirsch, he launched the project ›conTRUMPETary‹ in 2021, which aims to promote and disseminate contemporary music for trumpet.
