Peer Baierlein

Peer Baierlein (°1972) has been playing the trumpet since he was a child.
He started his professional studies at the early age of 16 at the 'Musikhochschule Köln' in Germany.

He first became a classical trumpet teacher before beginning his studies with Prof. Malte Burba as an orchestra musician at the 'Musikhochschule Köln' and at the 'Deutsche Oper' in Berlin.

In 1996, he moved to Leuven in Belgium to study with his favourite jazz-trumpet player, Bert Joris. Upon completion of his studies, he moved for a year to New York City, to take lessons and to play his instrument abroad. He then came back to Belgium, where he specialised as 'lead-trumpet' at the 'Lemmensinstituut'.

Between 2005 and 2007, Peer Baierlein has been studying classical composition with Piet Swerts, also at the 'Lemmensinstituut'. At the moment he is completing his studies and follows a special education for composing film music.
