Elisabeth Schwanda (Recorder)

Born: Germany

The German recorder plasyer, Elisabeth Schwanda, completed her studies at the Hochschule für Musik und Theater Hannover with distinction.

Elisabeth Schwanda is one of the most renowned artists and teaching authorities in the field of Early Music in Germany. Today she is widely known as a versatile record player. Through her work with other European artists such as Walter van Hauwe, Matthias Weilenmann, Hille Perl, and Ralf Popken, she received crucial artistic impulses.
