Norbert Rodenkirchen

Norbert Rodenkirchen is a German multi-instrumentalist and early music specialist best known for breathing new life into medieval sounds with his mastery of historical flutes and strings. As a cornerstone of the European early music scene, he’s spent decades digging into manuscripts and frescoes to reconstruct forgotten melodies, often weaving them into vivid thematic projects like *Hameln Anno 1284*, which reimagines the Pied Piper legend through medieval instrumentation. His work blends scholarly rigor with playful creativity, whether he’s reviving *Carmina Burana*’s raucous tavern tunes or crafting atmospheric albums like *Opalescence* that bridge ancient and modern textures. A sought-after collaborator, Rodenkirchen’s recordings and live performances showcase his knack for making dusty parchments feel fresh, proving that 800-year-old grooves can still hit just right.
