The horn player Markus Hauser is a native of Salzburg and began horn lessons at the age of eleven with Alois Aigner, at that time principal horn of the Mozarteum Orchestra Salzburg. From 1992 he studied concert horn with Josef Mayr at the Mozarteum University in Salzburg, graduating in 1999 with distinction following further studies with Radovan Vlatkovic.
Since 1997 he has been a member of the Mozarteum Orchestra Salzburg, a regular guest artist with Camerata Salzburg and second horn in the Salzburg Philharmonic Chamber Orchestra. He has performed with the Vienna Philharmonic under the batons of Kent Nagano and Lorin Maazel.
His work as a chamber musician with various ensembles is characterized by its diversity.
Markus Hauser’s interest in the natural horn has led to successful collaborations with the Wiener Akademie under Martin Haselböck and with Concentus Musicus Wien under Nikolaus Harnoncourt.
