Konstanze Waidosch

Violoncello

Konstanze Waidosch grew up in a violin and lute-making household in rural Lower Bavaria and became familiar with the history and stories of old musical instruments at an early age. She studied baroque cello and viola da gamba at the University of the Arts in Bremen and at the Conservatorium van Amsterdam (NL) with Viola de Hoog, Prof. Hille Perl, and Mieneke van der Velden.
As a continuo player and soloist, she explores the timbres of various bass and tenor instruments, including the basse de violon and the five-string violoncello piccolo.
Her versatility is evident in her work as a member and guest musician with renowned ensembles such as the Amsterdam Baroque Orchestra, the Academia Montis Regalis, the Collegium Vocale Gent Academy, the Händelfestspielorchester Halle, the Nieuwe Philharmonie Utrecht, the Bremer Barockorchester, the Göttinger Barockorchester, the Elbipolis Barockorchester Hamburg, and her own award-winning ensemble Marsyas Baroque. Her repertoire ranges from early 17th-century music to the Romantic period.
A passionate teacher, Konstanze Waidosch was a lecturer in Baroque cello at the University of Catholic Church Music and Music Education in Regensburg and gives courses in early music throughout Germany.
