Simon Höfele is one of the most prominent trumpeters of his generation and has quickly made a name for himself on the international stage. He performs as a soloist worldwide and collaborates with renowned orchestras such as the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, the BBC Symphony Orchestra and the Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen.
Alongside his concert career, he also gives classical music a voice off stage: since July 2023, he has been hosting the WDR3 podcast “KLASSIK CRUSH”. In conversation with young artists, the programme explores music, life on and off stage – and topics that resonate with a new generation of classical music enthusiasts.
