Werner Saller

Werner Saller played several instruments, ranging from recorder, accordion and zither to trombone, and from double bass to gamba, before finally choosing the viola. Many years playing Bavarian folk music and consort music on the gamba have shaped his musical career. He studied in Munich and Lübeck, where he studied with Prof. Barbara Westphal. He has attended solo, chamber music and baroque viola courses with Michi Gaigg, Ingrid Seifert, Ronny Rogoff, Prof. Walter Levin, and Christoph Coin. He is a member of the Freiburg Baroque Orchestra and plays in various orchestral and chamber music groups including La Stagione, Freitagsakademie, and AlmaViva.
