Matthias Maute was born in Germany in 1963. He has achieved an international reputation as a recorder player, flautist and composer. In 1990, he participated in the prestigious Ancient Music Competition in Bruges, Belgium, where his talent as a performer was acknowledged by taking First Prize in the soloist category. Following this success, he decided to devote all his creative energy to the Ensemble Caprice and to develop its highly original performance programmes, leavened by his own arrangements and compositions. He has played with the Ensemble in Europe in ancient music festivals of international renown. In 1994, he won the Dutch Impressariat Chamber Music Competition with the Trio Passagio, leading to concerts in Holland, France and India. He is also on tour regularly in Europe and the United States with the New York Rebel Ensemble as a recorder and flute soloist. In addition to his work in chamber music, Matthias Maute is the first flautist of the Baroque Trinity Consort Orchestra in Portland (Oregon), conducted by Eric Milnes, as well as playing with the Rebel Baroque Orchestra in NewYork conducted by Owen Burdick.
