Gabor Tarkoevi / Trumpet

He was born in Esztergom, Hungary, in 1969.

Having musicians in his family for a century, he had his first trumpet lesson from his father, István Tarkövi.

He began studying music at the Győr Music School. He continued his studies at the Franz Liszt Music Secondary School, and graduated from the Franz Liszt Academy of Music. György Geiger, Hans Gansch and György Kurtág were his most influential teachers.

Prior to his appointment as solo trumpeter for the Berlin Symphony Orchestra then the Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks, he was the co-principal trumpeter for the Württenberg Philharmonic Orchestra. Since 2004 he has been the principal trumpeter in the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra

Besides his orchestral activities, he is a member of the ensembles “Pro Brass” and “Austrian Brass Connection”.

Mr. Tarkövi has been engaged as a soloist for the Berliner Philharmonics, the Munich Bach Orchestra and the Chamber Orchestra of the Bayerischen Rundfunks.

As a teacher, he frequently gives master classes in Europe, Asia and overseas. Since 2004, he has been a teacher of the Herbert von Karajan Orchestra Academy.

Guillaume Jehl / Trumpet

Guillaume Jehl began playing the trumpet at the age of eight in his Alsatian hometown. He studied at the conservatory in Mulhouse and graduated with distinction from the Paris Conservatoire. His first engagements were in 1998 as second trumpet in the Orchestre National Bordeaux Aquitaine and in 2000 in the Orchestre National de France.

In 2001 Guillaume Jehl was appointed principal trumpet of the Basle Symphony Orchestra, and in 2006 he returned in that position to the Orchestre National de France before joining the Berliner Philharmoniker in 2009. Along with his work in the orchestra, he is active as a soloist and chamber musician and deeply involved in the study of playing Baroque trumpet at the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis, at which conservatory he also teaches. Additionally, since 2008, he has been perfecting his trumpet playing with coaching from Johann Gansch at the Salzburg Mozarteum University.

Dietmar Kueblboeck / Trombone

Dietmar Küblböck was born on June 8, 1963 in Linz, and began his study of the trombone in 1977 under his father, Horst Küblböck, at the Vienna Conservatory. It was a mere four years later when he received his first engagement in the philharmonic orchestra in the city of Graz. After only one season in Graz he was hired as first trombonist with the Vienna Symphony in 1982. In the midst of a successful 17 year career with that orchestra, he submitted himself to a new challenge by auditioning for the vacant position of first trombonist with the Vienna State Opera Orchestra. After winning this audition in a most convincing manner, he took up his new position with the opera orchestra on February 1, 1999.

Dietmar Küblböck is an active soloist and chamber musician in addition to his orchestral duties. He has appeared as soloist in Vienna, New York, St. Petersburg, Odessa and Taipei, and performs with such prominent ensembles as the Concentus Musicus, Clemencic Consort, Ensemble Kontrapunkte, Ensemble of the 20th Century, Ensemble Modern, and the Vienna Trombone Quartet, playing contemporary chamber music as well as baroque and renaissance music on period instruments. For years Dietmar Küblböck has also been active as a trombone instructor, from 1989-1992 in the pedagogy department of the College of Music and Performing Arts in Vienna and from 1997-2002 at the University of Music and Performing Arts in Graz. Beginning in July of 2002, he will assume the position of Professor of Trombone at the University of Music and Performing Arts in Vienna.

Thomas Joebstl / Horn

Thomas Joebstl was born in Wolfsberg (Carinthia) on January 5, 1978, and received his earliest musical training beginning at the age of five, receiving instruction on recorder from his father, Franz Jöbstl. Three years later he began study of the horn under Franz Gönitzer at the music school in Wolfsberg, and continued his studies from 1992 on at Vienna’s College of Music under Roland Berger, long time member of our orchestra. In 1997, Jöbstl not only completed his education at the Music high school, but received his first professional engagement, becoming first horn with the Orchestra of the Vienna Volksoper at the age of 19. He experienced three further milestones in his career in the year 2000, completing his musical studies with the title "Magister atrium”, becoming the assistant to Roland Berger, and in December performing a successful audition for the Vienna State Opera Orchestra, where he assumed the position of second horn on March 1, 2001.

As the study of chamber music is of special importance during the schooling and professional life for every instrumentalist, so also did Thomas Jöbstl soon become closely involved with this most essential part of our musical tradition. In addition to being a regular member of the "Wiener Virtuosen”, he belongs to the Vienna Horn Ensemble and the "Viennahorns”, two formations which are dedicated to the contemporary cultivation of the Viennese horn.

Since 2004 he has been the member of Vienna Philharmonic.
