Philipp Marguerre studied piano at the Mannheim University of Music and Performing Arts in the piano class of Andreas Pistorius. He has won numerous competitions (including the Karl Lang and Jugend musiziert awards) and attended masterclasses at the Mozarteum in Salzburg in the class of Anthony Paratore, in Radolfzell with Klaus Schilde, and in Plauen in the class of Andreas Pistorius. Since 2010, Philipp Marguerre has performed as a pianist and song accompanist, regularly with the Deutsches Filmorchester Babelsberg, among others.
In 2002, Philipp Marguerre became a member of the glass music ensemble Sinfonia di vetro. Since then, he has appeared worldwide as a glass instrument musician in the concert field and as an opera soloist. He plays exclusively the glass instruments developed by Sascha Reckert, in particular the verrophone. His performances as a soloist have taken him to the Semperoper in Dresden, the Royal Opera House, the Deutsche Oper Berlin, La Scala in Milan, the San Francisco Opera House, the Teatro Real Madrid (each time with Natalie Dessay) and the Vienna State Opera (with Anna Netrebko), as well as to the Salzburg Festival.
Philipp Marguerre is particularly interested in the use of glass instruments in the early classical and romantic periods. Thanks to his research, Sinfonia di vetro has been able to revive unjustly forgotten works and thus expand the repertoire of rare glass instruments. In 2006, he founded the sheet music publishing house Inter-Note, which publishes original literature for historical and modern glass instruments, among other things. Another focus of the musician is his collaboration with contemporary composers such as Garry Eister and George Benjamin. He plays the glass instruments on Eister's CD “Traveling in Rain” and has been performing the verrophone part in Benjamin's opera “Written on Skin” worldwide since 2012.
