Tabea Schwartz

Tabea Schwartz is inspired in her artistic work by the tonal diversity of the recorder in the musical languages from the Middle Ages up to the present day. She has performed throughout Europe as a soloist and in various ensembles as well as co-founding her own concert series, ReRenaissance. Her creative focus lies in the music of the Baroque and Renaissance periods, occasionally complemented by fruitful collaborations with composers. Tabea Schwartz also expresses her artistic versatility and professional joy of playing through her cultivated multi-instrumentalism with her second instrument, the viol. The sound of the bowed instruments complements that of the wind instruments in a special way and promotes a depth in understanding of the music from different perspectives. This in turn inspires her to create unique concert programmes, for which she also undertakes research and musical direction. Her ensemble Vernon Consort brings together players from seven different countries, united by their interest and expertise in authentic expressivity when performing 17th century music.
