The teachers<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Mariantonia Riezu<\/strong> is a renowned Spanish historical horn player based in Spain and The Netherlands. She began playing bagpipes aged four, which is heard in her expressivity and musical understanding. Since 2015 she has been playing with the leading orchestras in Europe, Russia and USA. After 8 years, as a member of The Orchestra of Eighteenth Century, in 2024 she has moved on to pursue new synergies and projects aligned with her career as a high-horn player, chamber music artist and soloist. She can be heard regularly playing solo horn concertos with orchestras such as Vigo430 and in halls as \u201cHet Concertgebow Kleine Zaal\u201d. She specializes in solo natural horn music such as her music and poetry project \u201cSOLAS\u201d, awarded by Fonds Podium Kunsten in 2021. Passionate about knowledge she has since 2021 been the Historical Horns bachelor teacher at Conservatorio M\u00fasica Castell\u00f3n (SP) where she has built a natural horn specialists class. She is involved in research of didactical repertoire of the 19th century for Spanish and French music. <\/p>\n I am extremely excited to get to know all the enthusiastic natural horn players from Swizerland. I am aware that this instrument is rooted in the Swiss cultural heritage, and there could not be a better environment to explore it than the one created at Beatenberg. I can\u00b4t wait to work with all of you there and let the horns be free and wild for few days while sharing our passion for the instrument and it\u00b4s rich and unique repertoire. <\/em><\/span><\/p>\n https:\/\/www.mariantoniariezu.com\/<\/a><\/u><\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”3_5,2_5″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”||17px|||” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”3_5″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Alexandre Zanetta<\/strong> comes from near Paris and discovered his passion for the horn at an early age. After studying in Berlin and L\u00fcbeck, he deepened his knowledge of historical horns at the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis with Thomas M\u00fcller and Jean-Fran\u00e7ois Madeuf. <\/p>\n He specializes in the baroque horn with a historically authentic approach. Since 2021, he has been teaching historical horn in Trossingen, at the HEM Geneva, and also at music schools. <\/p>\n As a sought-after musician, he plays with renowned ensembles such as La Cetra, Collegium 1704, and Caf\u00e9 Zimmermann. In fall 2022, he succeeded Thomas M\u00fcller as professor of historical horn at the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis. <\/p>\n \n I always look forward to meeting new horn and natural horn enthusiasts. The setting in beautiful Beatenberg is fabulous and promises exciting exchanges\u2014both musically and personally. We can look forward to lots of fun with music, playing together, and enjoying nature, so I am already very excited about the Natural Horn Academy! <\/a><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n https:\/\/alexandrezanetta.com\/<\/a><\/u><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”2_5″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.naturhorntage.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Cafe-Zimmermann-7-scaled.jpg” title_text=”alexandrezanetta.com” url=”https:\/\/alexandrezanetta.com\/” url_new_window=”on” align=”center” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”3px|||||” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_5,3_5,1_5″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”||19px|||” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_5″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.naturhorntage.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-05-16-at-11.22.12.jpeg” title_text=”Camille de Nantes” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” min_height=”100px” custom_padding=”0px|||||” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”3_5″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”||0px|||” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_5″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”3_5,2_5″ _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”3_5″ _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Guest and hunting horn specialist: <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Wilhelm Bruns\u2019<\/strong> musical career began as a member of various hunting horn ensembles in Greven, Saerbeck, and M\u00fcnster. The parforce horn he played during this time laid the foundation for his later passion for the French horn, and especially for the natural horn. While studying with Professor Hermann Baumann at the Folkwang University of the Arts in Essen, he devoted himself intensively to the natural horn from the very beginning, alongside the valve horn. In 1987, he won second prize at the natural horn competition in Bad Harzburg. Since then, he has performed regularly as a soloist and chamber musician with various orchestras and ensembles, including Concentus Musicus Wien, Cappella Coloniensis, La Stagione Frankfurt, Amsterdam Baroque, the Akademie f\u00fcr Alte Musik Berlin, the Neue D\u00fcsseldorfer Hofmusik, Rebel (New York), and the W\u00fcrttemberg Chamber Orchestra, among others. In January 2006, a multi-award-winning recording of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart\u2019s horn concertos was released, featuring the Heidelberg Symphony Orchestra under the baton of Thomas Fey. This was followed in 2010 by another CD featuring Joseph Haydn\u2019s horn concertos. <\/p>\n\n

As a prizewinner of the Fondation Royaumont and the Young Europe Sings Academy, she has had the opportunity to perform in France, Germany, Poland and Slovenia. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
In 1985, he founded the \u201cDeutsches Naturhorn Solisten\u201d together with a group of students who were passionate about the natural horn. This ensemble, which has received considerable acclaim from international critics and remains unrivaled, has been recording CDs for the MDG label in Detmold since 1996. Its focus is on trio and quartet music for the natural horn, as well as hunting music. The CD featuring horn concertos by Georg Philipp Telemann was awarded the Echo Klassik by the German Phono Academy in October 2002. From 1988 to 2021, he served as principal horn at the National Theater in Mannheim and, in October 2000, accepted a position as a lecturer at the music conservatories in Frankfurt am Main, Mannheim, and Saarbr\u00fccken. From 2003 to 2018, he directed the International Natural Horn Academy in Bad D\u00fcrkheim, which he founded. <\/p>\n
