Johannes Hustedt studied music education and flute in Bremen with Renate Ruge-von Rohden and Karlsruhe with Renate Greiss-Armin, where he graduated with distinction in 1990. Master classes with Aurèle Nicolet, Alain Marion, Paul Meisen and András Adorjan rounded off his studies. With a concern for musical/cultural exchange, he pursues a worldwide concert career as a soloist and chamber music partner, as well as world premieres, radio and TV productions, often appearing as a border crosser between improvisation and interpretation. In the process, his involvement with music from all cultural circles, especially Asia, South America and Eastern Europe, leaves clear traces. Excursions into the world of historical performance practice with traverse flute, as well as interdisciplinary dance and drama projects enrich his artistic expression.
He is a guest at numerous festivals, such as the Ludwigsburg Schlossfestspiele, Hohenloher Kultursommer, Musikfesttage Frankfurt/Oder, Festival of the "Centro para la Difusión de la Música Contemporánea" at the Círculo de Bellas Artes in Madrid, "ProBaltica" Warsaw, Thomas Mann Festival Nida/Lithuania, GAIDA-New Music Festival Vilnius, New Opera Toronto, California State University Los Angeles and New York City-Series. His CD releases on KOCH International, RBM, Animato, SwissPan, Guild-Music and Sargasso have received international acclaim.
