Berlin Phil hires 3rd horn
mainJohannes Lamotke, principal horn of the Komische Oper Berlin, has won the audition for 3rd horn in the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra.
Lamotke, 34, has come up through the ranks via Kassel and Bremen.
His arrival still leaves gaps in the BP horn section.
great !
Yeyy!! Congrats Mr Lamotke! Now they have fill new 2nd/low horn and principal horn. And they still have 2 gaps in trumpet section which also have to fill
‘Principal horn’? Really? Is the great Stefan Dohr leaving?
Zzzz. The Berlin Phil. employs 2 principal horns – Stefan Dohr is one and the other position is vacant.
Exactly! People always ask the same question. In Europe many orchestras have 2 or sometimes even 3 principals in string and wind sections. The other vacant principal post is originally Radek Baborak’s old post which has been vacant for almost 10 years
is says won 3rd horn position…
