Daniel Agi

Fascinated by the endless abundance of aesthetics and challenges, the focus of Daniel's work lies in the field of contemporary music. This led him, with his ensembles, hand werk and Das Neue Ensemble, for instance, to several concerts in major festivals throughout Europe, such as Acht Brücken–Musik für Köln, the Zagreb Biennale, and the Wittener Tagen für Neue Kammermusik.
Daniel studied flute in the conservatories of Cologne and Freiburg with Hans Martin Mueller and Prof. Robert Aitken. In 2006/2007, he was a member of the International Ensemble Modern Academy, where he received his master's degree in the performing of contemporary music.

As a vocalist, inspired by the styles of extreme heavy metal, he explores the world of vocal distortion. His intense performances have taken him to festivals such as Gaudeamus, Utrecht or Musica, Strasbourg.

Dedicated to both contemporary as well as classical repertoire, he is seen as guest musician with, among others, the Düsseldorf Philharmonic Orchestra and Ensemble MusikFabrik, as well as with his various chamber music groups.
As a lecturer, he has given workshops at Harvard University, Folkwang University Essen, Yong Siew Toh Conservatory of Music Singapore, and others.
Daniel Agi has been active in KlangForum Heidelberg since 2017.
