Rodrigo Reichel

Rodrigo Reichel studied at the Musikhochschulen in Cologne and Munich with Max Rostal, Kurt Guntner and members of the Amadeus Quartet.

His first orchestral engagement was as a member of the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra. He went on to join the NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchestra, where he holds the position of principal second violin.

His chamber music roots trace back to both classical music and jazz. In 1993, he was a founder of „the g-strings“, an ensemble that appears at many renowned classical and jazz festivals.

In 2000, he became the leader of the fabergé quintet.

His musical partners include José Carreras, Nils Landgren, Renée Fleming, and Christoph Eschenbach.
