Biographie Eva Oertle & Consuelo Giulianelli
Eva Oertle
is active as a soloist and chamber musician throughout Europe. She performs with such internationally renowned orchestras as Il Giardino Armonico and Al Ayre Español and works with conductors such as Giovanni Antonini, Ton Koopman, and Paul Goodwin.
Recitals have taken her to great concert halls such as the Salle Gaveau in Paris, the Gewandhaus Leipzig and the Musikverein Wien. As a soloist she has performed with the Brandenburgisches Streichorchester, the Festivalorchester Davos, the Schweizer Philharmonie and the Festival Strings Lucerne, and has toured in Germany, Italy, Spain and Chile, where she gave master classes. Eva Oertle has been a guest at many festivals and in concert series such as the Bastad Chambermusic Festival in Sweden, the Festival di Musica Antica di Modena, the Settimane musicali di Lugano, the Herrnsheimer Schlossfestspiele and the Tage für Alte Musik Zürich. Chamber music occupies an important place in her musical life. Her chamber music partners include the clarinetist Karin Dornbusch, the harpist Consuelo Giulianelli, the lutenist Christoph Greuter, the pianist Werner Krapf, the harpsichordist Urte Lucht, and the pianist Vesselin Stanev.
Eva Oertle has received various awards, including first prize at the international chamber music competition in Massa with the Duo Akroasis. She has participated in numerous recordings for radio and television. Her CDs have been released by Swisspan and Chronophon and earned her much praise in specialist journals: “an extremely sensitive and convincing realization,” “a CD that definitely deserves to be discovered both for the works it includes and for their sympathetic interpretations by the Duo Akroasis.”
Eva Oertle studied modern flute at the conservatories in Fribourg and Basel with Janek Rosset, Felix Renggli and Peter-Lukas Graf, among others. After receiving her diploma in concert performance, her interest in historically informed performance took her first to the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis, where she studied the baroque traverso with Oscar Peter. Then she completed her studies with Rachel Brown in London. Today Eva Oertle performs both the classical flute repertoire and works on historical instruments.
Eva Oertle is also active as a presenter and music editor with Swiss Radio SRF2 Kultur.
