Heike matthiesen plays habanera from the carmen suite by georges bizet on a altamira n500
Early life
Heike Matthiesen was born in Braunschweig, into a family of classical musicians. From early childhood, she enjoyed comprehensive musical training, playing the piano from the age of four.
Education
She took her first guitar lessons at the age of 18, and after one year she studied with professor Heinz Teuchert at the Frankfurt Conservatory.
Pepe Romero, who taught her for several years, was the formative influence on her playing. In addition, she attended a large number of master classes, inter alia with Manuel Barrueco, David Russell, Roland Dyens, Alvaro Pierri and Leo Brouwer.
Career
Apart from her solo commitments, Heike Matthiesen regularly performs with chamber music ensembles, and since 1997 has been closely affiliated with Villa Musica Mainz. She has appeared with Los Romeros and, in 2005, recorded a CD with the Spanish Art Guitar Quartet (Bolero, NCA). Heike Matthiesen has performed in many different countries, including the US, Russia, Japan, China, all around western Europe, Iceland, Bulgaria, Ethiopia, Pakistan, Nigeria, and Equatorial Guinea. She is a welcome guest at festivals and in guitar concert series and a juror in national and international competitions.
Heike Matthiesen is especially passioned about the music of female composers.
"In our loud chaotic world there is a strong need for calmness and awareness of the presence (also for silence) and what else can bring that better to the people than the fragile sound of a guitar?"
Heike Matthiesen represents a new generation of classical musician, communicative, open for new media and an avid ambassador for classical music on all relevant social media platforms.
