Peter Karmann

Peter verschlug es nach seinem Bachelorstudium in Karlsruhe sowie Strasbourg nach Cambridge um dort seinen Master in Ingenieurswissenschaften zu absolvieren. Seine Liebe zur großen Symphonik entwickelte er als Klarinettist eines Philharmonischen Blasmusikorchesters. Besonders die Musik der Romantik und im Speziellen die orchestralen Spätwerke von Mahler und Brahms sowie Wagners Musikdramen faszinieren ihn. Falls man Peter nicht in Konzertsälen trifft, findet man ihn auf Rucksackreisen, auf Skiern in den Alpen oder seit neuestem beim High Tea in England.
