Teacher
Pablo Kornfeld (Buenos Aires - Prague)
Basso Continuo
Pablo Kornfeld was born in Buenos Aires in 1975. He discovered music at the age of five, playing the recorder with his grandmother. Later he began to study the piano with Edith Preston. Because of his interest in early music, he began to play the harpsichord and obtained a master in Basso Continuo in Lyon's National Conservatory (CNSM), France, in 2000.
He plays in the ensemble Mala Punica (conducted by Pedro Memelsdorff), focused on the late middle-age music, since 1999. He has performed with this ensemble all around Europe and in North America.
Since 2002 he resides in Prague, in the Czech Republic, where he plays with the baroque ensemble Collegium 1704 (conducted by Václav Luks) since its foundation in 2005, performing in many important festivals in Europe (La Chaise Dieu, Sablé, Gstaad, Utrecht, Antwerp, Vienna, Versailles, Warsaw, Krakow, Cremona, etc.) and recording several cd's. He also appears in the recordings of the baroque ensemble L'Onda Armonica, conducted by Sergio Azzolini.
Pablo teaches basso continuo and chamber music in the Academy of Performing Arts in Prague.
'It is a lot of fun to work with you on the madrigals! You are a great team and you transfer your enthusiasm to the group. The Madrigal Week is a great experience - a wonderful interplay of the unique atmosphere of Venice, the great music of Monteverdi and the good mood of the group during the rehearsals - and also outside the rehearsals.' (Britta Heiermann, Rommerskirchen)
