Marie Holzegel
My education: Wuerzburg (Hermann Klemeyer), Freiburg (Robert Aitken), Berlin (Benoir Fromanger), Stuttgart (Jean-Claude Gerard), Piccolo with Claire Genewein, Zürich.
My favourite composition: It depends on how the music is played and the atmosphere. I love Shostakovich, Strauss and well played Barock music.
My greatest musical experience: Our semi-staged performance of Tristan and Isolde in 2019.
My most memorable/funny/unusual experience in the Kapel: When the entire orchestra surprised me by playing “Happy Birthday” for my 30th birthday. It was so touching.
When I’m not playing in the Kapel: I spend time with my two boys and my husband. Loving some challenges: I have a black belt in Judo, I run marathons, I’m the Danish champion in ice swimming and I’ve swum across the Ice Fjord.
