The recorder player Teresa Hackel, born in Berlin, is based in Switzerland since 2005.
Her focus is free improvisation and she is keen to search for strange and unconventional sounds on the different types of the recorder. In her playing she values listening – there is no unnecessary sound, just the music that comes by itself.Teresa Hackel was awarded the 3rd Prize at the Concours Nicati for interpreters of contemporary music in Bern. In 2018 the CD “Solare” was released with pieces of Fausto Romitelli, in 2022 she released the CD “Zustandsformen” with the guitar player Karin Rüdt.
