Cornelius Rinderle

Cornelius Rinderle grew up in the Saarland. At the age of 11, he received bassoon lessons from his father Ulrich Rinderle (Deutsche Radio Philharmonie Saarbrücken-Kaiserslautern) until he began his studies in 2003 at the Hanover University of Music and Drama with Dag Jensen. After temporary contracts at the Hanover State Opera and in the Osnabrück Symphony Orchestra, he was a scholarship holder of the Orchestra Academy of the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra before being engaged as principal bassoon at the Staatstheater am Gärtnerplatz in 2009. Cornelius Rinderle was a scholarship holder of the German National Academic Foundation and completed his studies in July 2012 with a master class degree. Temporary work has taken him to the Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra, the Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin, the NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchester Hamburg, the Bamberg Symphony Orchestra, the Munich and Berlin Philharmonic Orchestras and the Munich Chamber Orchestra, among others. In addition to playing in orchestras, he is a sought-after chamber music partner and soloist. Concerts and chamber music courses have taken him to Denmark, Finland, Japan, Korea and Central America.
