Angela Gassenhuber
Pianist Angela Gassenhuber is active as an accompanist, chamber music player, and soloist. She has been heard as accompanist at many competitions and also fills this role in an educational capacity.
Gassenhuber was born in Munich in 1965. She studied there at the Musikakademie München with K. Shields and went on to the Royal Northern College of Music in Manchester, England, where her primary teacher was Sulamita Aronovsky. She began performing chamber music in the late '80s, performing in Germany and abroad with various ensembles, including the Berlin Piano Trio, Ensemble Resonanz, and Neue Musik. Her solo collaborators included William Forman, Peter-Lukas Graf, and Karl Leister. In 1990, Gassenhuber's career got a boost when she won a prize in a German Music Council competition in the pianist/lecturer division at the Hochschule für Musik in Munich. Two years later, she made her recording debut on the Troubadisc label, backing several singers on an album of vocal works by Ethel Smyth. Since then, she has appeared as a soloist with various Berlin orchestras and also played in theatrical productions.
In 1995, Gassenhuber joined the faculty of the Academy of Music Hanns Eisler in Berlin as a wind instrument accompanist, remaining in that position as of the early 2020s. She was an accompanist on a second Troubadisc release, this one of works by Germaine Tailleferre, and in 2014, she accompanied Cappella Amsterdam on an album of Brahms choral works. The following year, Gassenhuber joined Ensemble KNM Berlin on the album Silvestre Revueltas: Ensemble Works. She returned in 2022 on the major Harmonia Mundi label, backing the RIAS Kammerchor Berlin on an album of the Brahms Complete Liebeslieder Walzer, Opp. 52 & 65.
