Martin Kevenhörster
Martin
Kevenhörster, 34, is a close friend of mine. He studied the bassoon at Folkwang-Hochschule Essen), from which he
graduated with a diploma. Now he holds a permanent position as bassoonist at
the Dusseldorf Opera. Nonetheless he is always interested in exciting
opportunities to play with other ensembles, especially in his favourite area of
baroque music and original bassoon instruments. He also heads the Trio aperto and the
"freie kammerphilharmonie" (independent chamber orchestra).

Malte Refardt
Malte is also a
great bassoonist, maybe one day he will even outplay Martin (as he also plays
the counter bassoon, for instance). Like Martin he was a student of the really
great Dag Jensen at Folkwang-Hochschule Essen at first, later at the
Hanover School of Music. He has already played with various well-known
orchestras, such as the Ensemble Modern with Hans Zender and the Klassischen
Philharmonie Bonn (formerly the renowned "Telekom Orchester"). Currently
Malte plays in a permanent position in the NDR Radiophilharmonie and occasionally
at the Bayerische Staatsoper in Munich.

Katja Hertz
My wife Katja is
also experienced in classical music, but she plays the cello and doesn't think
that the bassoon is such a great instrument. After graduating with a diploma in
cello from Folkwang-Hochschule in Essen in 2000, and
another diploma in teaching the cello, she now contributes to the cultural
future of the young generation by giving celle lessons to children (and
sometimes to adults and even OAPs!) Katja and me have been living together in Offenbach since 2005 and
have a lot of fun together.

Dietlinde
Bamberger
Dietlinde
Bamberger lives in Hanover and works as an investor relations manager at Talanx AG, a company that
might well become a household name once it floates on the stock market! She is
roughly my age and studied translation (diploma from University of Hildesheim)
with a focus on technical writing and translating technical texts. She is
originally from Marburg but she lived in Frankfurt for a number of years and it was there that she
laid the foundation for her business career. Dietlinde is devoted to Lomography (the art of
taking pictures with a cheap Russian 35mm camera) and she sometimes plays the
violin.

Sabine
Schönteich
Sabine is from
lovely Hildesheim,
where she graduated in Cultural Studies with an excellent degree. She has had
close ties with Göttingen for several years and in 2000 she decided to
move there. If you need first-class contributions to exhibitions in photography
or if you are looking for an experienced writer of journal features - she's the
one!

Christian Rode
Christian Rode

We met during the first few weeks of our studies when we attended the legendary
seminars on Kant held by Prof. Gawlick and Prof. Kreimendahl. We also spent a
lot of time hanging out together in the campus cafeteria. People (especially
women) say that Christian is a handsome man and that he is highly talented. He
wrote his Master thesis on the ens rationisin the works of Franciscus de
Prato. With this work he reached excellent marks in his final exam. He received
his Ph. D. in 2003 and now works as a senior research assistant at the University of Bonn.

Marc Schneppensief
Marc holds a
diploma in Urban Planning from the university
of Dortmund. We have
known each other since the glorious days when Marc studied English and history
(to become a grammar school teacher), and the two of us attended the incredibly
exciting class in Oral and written Communication held by Dr. Bachem. I am sure
that Marc will soon find a permanent job, which is no easy task in today's
crisis-ridden Berlin.
As a secondary profession Marc is a devout pessimist. But this doesn't prevent
him from enjoying the groovy side of life. He is always happy when someone
sends him an email.

German to an impressive level of perfection at the Goethe-Institute in

I still can't understand why he left the maginificent country of New Zealand. If
