Biography Silke Gwendolyn Schulze
Silke Gwendolyn Schulze
Silke grew up in a little german town in the swiss-french-german region. She studied recorder, shawm, dulcian and pipe & tabor at the universities of Bremen, Brussels, Basle and Lyon. She has given concerts in Germany, Sweden, Austria, France, Poland, Ireland, Belgium, Switzerland, Italy, Spain, Columbia, Chile, The Netherlands and Cyprus with ensembles such as Weserrenaissance Bremen, la Compagnie Renaidanse, the European Union Baroque Orchestra (EUBO), Cantar Lontano, La Grande Chapelle, La Morra and her own groups Quidni, Vuenv and Mandragora. Apart from her passion for the double reed instruments of the Renaissance Alta Capella Silke is very interested in the more „exotic“ medieval wind instruments like the double recorder or the pipe and tabor and in reconstructing a possible repertoire for these instruments. When she is not playing one of her many instruments she enjoys looking for more depictions for her pipe and tabor iconography collection, teaching recorder and Alta Capella to enthusiastic players between 5 and 75 or practicing the japanese martial art Aikido.
