Born: November 20, 1948 - Den Haag, the Netherlandsi
The Dutch flautist, Wilbert Hazelzet, has dedicated himself since 1970 exclusively to the Baroque flauto traverso. He studied the ancient instrumental techniques and the performance of the music from the 18th century according to contemporary treatises about flute playing and singing. Considered by many as the world’s leading Baroque flute player, in 1978 he became a member of Musica Antiqua Köln, and with this world-famous ensemble he appeared in Japan, India, China, the USA, Canada, and all over Europe, from Finland to Portugal and from Ireland to Russia.
Wilbert Hazelzet now forms permanent duos with harpsichordist Jacques Ogg and with lutenist Konrad Junghänel. He is the first flautist of Ton Koopman’s Amsterdam Baroque Orchestra. He is also a regular guest soloist with the Ensemble Sonnerie (Director: Monica Huggett), London Baroque (Directors: Charles Medlam/I. Seifert), Music For Awhile (M. Faultless) and the Passamezzo Trio Bilbao (Gandía/Atutxa/Ibarra). He is a member of the Corelli Ensemble, in which Tini Mathot and Reine-Marie Verhagen also participate. Among his other chamber music partners are harpsichordists Tini Mathot, Laura Dearmas, Malcolm Proud and Hendrik Bouman, gambist Jaap ter Linden, violinist Maya Homburger, etc.
Wilbert Hazelzet has appeared for numerous radio and TV stations across the world and has recorded for several companies such as Archiv-Deutsche Grammophone, Erato, Harmonia Mundi Deutschland, Philips, Globe, and, in recent years, Glossa Music.
Wilbert Hazelzet is a Professor at the Royal Conservatory in The Hague and the Hogeschool voor de Kunsten in Utrecht, the Netherlands.
