Bruno Hoffmann

Bruno Hoffmann has been played on NTS shows including Open Hand Real Flames , with Fantasie In E Minor first played on 22 December 2021.

Bruno Hoffmann was a German player of the glass harp. Hoffmann is widely acknowledged as the virtuoso who reanimated contemporary interest in the glass harp and glass harmonica. The son of a church music director, he was trained in piano and organ playing, but on encountering the "musical glasses" at age 16 his lifelong devotion to resurrecting this unearthly beauty was begun. He discovered and mastered the old repertoire for glass harp by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Johann Friedrich Reichardt, Karl Leopold Röllig, Johann Abraham Peter Schulz, Johann Gottlieb Naumann and others, and also inspired several modern composers to write new works for him.
