The Alsatian was born in Phalsbourg in 1972 and he already began to play the euphonium at the age of nine.

Until 1991 he attended the conservatory in Strasbourg
where he, in conclusion, received the first prize of the conservatory, the honorary diploma, for his performance.

Afterwards he perfected his abilities until 1994 at the National Conservatory in Paris where he, among others, was awarded with the first prize for euphonium and for the subject chamber music.

Philippe Wendling is a member of the Parisian Police- Orchestra and besides he regularly plays together with some of the biggest orchestras in France.
In Paris he frequently plays together with the National Opera. He makes music with the National Orchestra and the Opera of Lyon, and in the Alsace, where he comes from, with the Strasbourgian Philharmonic Orchestra.

 

The Miraphone Tuba Quartett offers us the fabulous chance, to exhaust the abilities of our instruments beside the orchestral music and to also rehearse unconventional arrangements, says Philippe Wendling. He especially makes an effort to perform contemporary compositions as well.

It' s very important to deal with music of our time and to introduce it to the audience. Our repertoire proves, that the tuba and the euphonium take their firm place also in modern music.
