It was a special experience for us today to transform a studio of NDR into a concert hall. Together with Nikita Volov at the piano and Friederike Westerhaus at the microphone we had our performance in NDR Kultur à la carte EXTRA.
Yours sincerely Matthias

Hamburg has a new Jazz Hall . Many thanks to the Dr. E. A. Langner Foundation, which made this possible. Together with Nils Landgren and the big band of the HfMT Hamburg we recorded Wolf Kerschek’s “Summertime” arrangement for the opening. A lot of fun with my new THEIN slide trumpet.
Enjoy the music and come to our new JazzHall in Hamburg. Concert dates can be found on the website of JazzHall HFMT Hamburg.

TRUMPET CONCERTO & PIECES
For a long time little or nothing was known about the composer who wrote the most interesting trumpet concerto of the 19th century in the Romantic style. Born in 1870 near Dresden into a family of musicians, Oskar Böhme studied in Germany and Hungary and then emigrated to Russia, where he even changed his citizenship to improve his chances of getting a place in one of the great orchestras. Despite his efforts to integrate perfectly into Russian society, his German origins were his undoing when the Bolsheviks seized power. With this album, Matthias Höfs aims to shed light on a composer and musician who was previously in the dark. He presents a rare recording – his third with the Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen – of beautiful, expressive and romantic music.
DIANA DAMRAU – My Christmas
With Diana Damrau, Riccardo Minasi and the Radiophilharmonie Hannover: Baroque highlights for soprano and trumpet, a fresh listening experience not only for Christmas.
IT’S CHRISTMAS TIME – GERMAN BRASS
The popular german brass ensemble GERMAN BRASS releases with “It’s Christmas Time” a colorful Christmas album. The Christmas journey of the eleven musicians includes J.S. Bach as well as international traditionals and pop songs – a special kind of listening pleasure.
FESTIVE TRUMPETS FOR CHRISTMAS
If there’s one thing that makes Christmas what it is, it’s festive music and uplifting melodies: “Festive Trumpets for Christmas” is the new Christmas album from Matthias Höfs, to be released by Berlin Classics on November 5, 2021. On this new album, the trumpeter joins his brass ensemble and organist Christian Schmitt in a wide-ranging programme. The instruments of the musicians ring out in triumphal tones, brilliantly nuanced, capturing the joy and splendour of the Christmas festival. There are works by Albinoni, Handel, Vivaldi, Morales and Scheidt, along with arrangements by Peter Lawrence, Nikolaus Herman and Matthias Höfs himself.
