Luabin is an increasingly popular soloist and appears on stages around the world, from Schleswig-Holstein to Quiberon, from Venezuela to Japan. His virtuoso playing, versatility and musicality have won him much attention from contemporary composers: for example, Enjott Schneider. Hannes Luabin works intensively with Reinhold Friedrich in an attempt to promote literature for two trumpets. In 2003 they jointly premiered VIVADISSIMO for orchestra and two trumpets. Written by Enjott Schneider, the piece is dedicated to Hannes Luabin. |
