Inga Maria Klaucke

Enjoying a wide spectrum of musical perspectives, Inga Maria Klaucke pursues an active performance career in early and contemporary music both with Consortium5 and as recorder soloist and period bassoonist in various chamber and orchestral combinations in England and in her native Germany. Inga studied recorder with Christoph Huntgeburth and harpsichord with Mitzi Meyerson at the UdK Berlin. She first came to the Royal Academy of Music on an ERASMUS scholarship for the year 2004/05 to study with Daniël Brüggen, Peter Holtslag and Terence Charlston.  Based in Cambridge, she remained attached to the Department of Historical Performance at the RAM from 2005 - 2008, studying baroque and classical bassoon with Andrew Watts and playing in the Academy’s Period Instrument Baroque Orchestra and Ensemble under directors such as Laurence Cummings, Simon Standage, Lisa Beznosiuk, William Christie and Trevor Pinnock. Inga has also been a member of the Britten-Pears and Dartington Summer School Baroque Orchestras, and has performed with distinguished ensembles such as Music for Awhile, the Avison Ensemble, Florilegium and Charivari Agréable Simfonie, as well as the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment. She was resident on the OAE’s ‘Experience for Young Players’ scheme in 2007/08. Since completing her recorder performance degree in Berlin with highest honours, she currently continues there part-time on an advanced soloist diploma course (‘Konzertexamen’), whilst pursuing further private studies on bassoon with Lorenzo Alpert, Alberto Grazzi and Jane Gower. From 2009/10, she has been accepted onto the ‘Formation Supérieure’ of the Jeune Orchestre Atlantique in Saintes, France, to specialize in classical and romantic period performance. Past concerts include the Museum of Musical Instruments, Berlin; Neues Palais, Potsdam; the Cambridge Early Music Summer Schools concert series; St. John's College and Kettle's Yard, Cambridge; the Snape Proms, Aldeburgh, Symphony and City Halls, Birmingham, as well as St Martin-in-the-Fields, St. John’s Smith Square, the Royal Albert Hall, and the Spitalfields and Handel Festivals, London. Besides performing, Inga also very much enjoys teaching individuals and coaching ensembles, drawing on her enthusiasm for sharing musical ideas and practicalities, as well as her combined experience as a soloist, consort, continuo and orchestral player.
