Peter Stelzl, sackbut
Peter Stelzl was born 1972 in Mainz and studied the modern trombone with Prof. W. Schrietter at the Music Colleges in Saarbrücken and Karlsruhe.
After completing his studies with distinction, he turned to the historical trombone (sackbut) and completed a postgraduate study with Charles Toet at the Music College in Tossingen and at the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis in Basel.

These include the “Freiburger Barockorchester”, “Concerto Köln”, “Collegium Cartusianum”, “Capella Coloniensis”, “Musica Fiata” and “Concerto Palatino”, as well as other renowned ensembles.
