Mirjam-Luise Münzel is a recorder player, gambist and baroque cellist, and teaches at the conservatoires in Bremen and London. For her, early music offers an opportunity to explore timeless, pressing questions. She brings this to life through numerous, often interdisciplinary projects that she curates and leads together with fantastic colleagues: her Alte Musik Fest Friedenau festival, her duo GESTI with the dancer Imola Nagy, her podcast Being Fanny Mendelssohn, her opera pastiche PENELOPE, created especially for the International Telemann Festival in collaboration with the Wunderkammer ensemble, and a wide range of projects with her trio tiefsaits, such as the audio guide Cassandra’s Voice, and much more.
Numerous concert tours take her throughout the year to festivals and concert halls across Europe and beyond, including the Palace of Versailles, Wigmore Hall, English National Opera, Concertgebouw Amsterdam, Elbphilharmonie, Trigonale, St Thomas’ Church in Leipzig, Berlin Cathedral, the Felix! Festival of the Cologne Philharmonic, Thüringer Bachwochen, ZAMUS Festival, Konzerthaus Berlin, Musikfest Bremen and many more. Mirjam-Luise Münzel performs with ensembles such as the Lauttencompagney, Il pomo d’oro, AKAMUS and Continuum.
