LiedDuo Hoffmann | Karoyan –> projects click here
Through our shared love of art song and song recitals with unusual concepts, Nare Karoyan and I quickly came together as LiedDuo in 2019. Our collaboration encompasses the entire development of a song recital, from the idea and joint research to the conception and intensive, joint musical development of a programme. Our joint performances are always a very special pleasure for us.
LiedDuo Hoffmann | Sulejmani –> projects click here
Desar Sulejmani and I got to know each other during our studies and found ourselves on the same musical wavelength. Our shared love of the song genre connected us from the very beginning. To this day, we regularly perform song recitals together with a wide variety of concepts and themes.
The Ensemble Amouné (Amaunet/Goddess of the Air) was founded in 2017 and since then Judith Hoffmann (soprano) and Dirk Wittfeld (trumpet) have been performing in various churches with their organists or, on request, with their own organist.
The name Amouné is derived from the name of the Egyptian goddess of air Amunet/Amaunet. Each of the three instruments uses air in a different way for its musical composition and tone.
Our programmes consist of original compositions and exciting arrangements for this instrumentation. Instruments are also heard in solo works.
In 2023, four pieces were composed especially for the ensemble by Elmar Lehnen (basilica organist Kevelaer) (Neustart Kultur Stipendium JH). These pieces were also professionally recorded.
I play a wide variety of programs with different organists.
I am currently playing programs with the following organists: Birgit Rhode (Solingen), Christophe Knabe (Cologne), KMD Stefanie Westerteicher (Essen), Basilica organist Elmar Lehnen (Kevelaer).
