Description

Christian Felix Benning is one of the leading percussionists of a young and innovative generation of German drummers, and »with his ensemble he sets off a spectacular firework show of sounds and rhythms« (Süddeutsche Zeitung). The 22-year-old has been a timpanist and percussionist with the Bayerische Philharmonie since 2005, where he has also been able to gain early experiences as a soloist. After successful performances in Simone Rubino’s Esegesi Percussion Quartet at festivals such as Rheingau, Schleswig-Holstein, Heidelberger Frühling, Musikfest Bremen and La Folle Journée de Nantes, in 2014 Christian Felix Benning formed his own percussion ensemble, with which he now plays in the Elbphilharmonie Recital Hall.
