About Dorothee Oberlinger

Dorothee Oberlinger, born on September 2, 1969, in Aachen, Germany, is celebrated as one of Europe’s premier recorder virtuosos. Raised in Simmern—where she later received honorary citizenship—she began her academic journey studying music education and German studies at the University of Cologne. However, after a pivotal government examination, Oberlinger shifted her focus entirely to the recorder. She perfected her craft under the guidance of notable instructors including Günther Höller, Walter van Hauwe, and Pedro Memelsdorff.

Oberlinger’s international breakthrough came in 1997 when she won the prestigious Moeck International Competition in London. This victory led to her acclaimed debut at Wigmore Hall in 1998, firmly establishing her reputation on the early music stage. Since then, she has collaborated with leading ensembles such as Musica Antiqua Köln, the Academy of Ancient Music, and Sonatori de la Gioiosa Marca. In 2002, she founded Ensemble 1700, releasing a series of highly praised recordings featuring composers like Telemann, Graupner, and Schultze on labels including Deutsche Harmonia Mundi.

Beyond her dedication to Baroque and early music, Oberlinger has explored contemporary genres, notably collaborating with the electronic group Yello on their 2009 track "Takla Makan." Since 2004, she has served as a professor at the Salzburg Mozarteum, nurturing the next generation of musicians. Her versatile artistry also extends to conducting Baroque operas, such as Handel's *Silla* at the 2016 International Handel Festival in Göttingen. Recognized as a Telemann Ambassador in 2017 during the composer’s 250th anniversary, Dorothee Oberlinger continues to enrich the world of early music through performance, education, and festival direction.
