Susanna Borsch

about

A recorder virtuoso familiar in both contemporary and early music, Susanna Borsch is one of the few instrumentalists able to bridge both styles of music with complete ease. She began recorder lessons with Silke Kühner at the age of nine, and in 1994 began studying at the Amsterdam Sweelinck Conservatorium with Walter van Hauwe, finishing her teaching diploma 1998. The same year saw her begin postgraduate studies, specialising in the amalgamation of the recorder with live electronics. This project cumulated in the year 2000 with her final solo examination, featuring many new works written especially for her and this combination, by composers such as Mike Vaughan, Merlijn Twaalfhoven and Paul Leenhouts. After many years of taking part with great success in Germany\'s Jugend musiziert competition, she founded the recorder trio Les Doux Siffleurs, which in 1995 won top prizes at both The German National Music competition in Bonn and the International recorder symposium in Calw. Three years later, she won third prize in the solo competition at the same event, stunning audiences with a daring mixture of ancient and modern music. In 1998, she took a major part both as soloist and ensemble member in the \'2nd International Recorder Week\' at \'de Ysbreker\', the internationally renowned modern music venue in Amsterdam. In 1999, she deputised at very short notice in the celebrated Amsterdam Loeki Stardust Quartet, subsequently joining them on their USA tour the following year. In 20
