The Kreedo Team

Jürgen Krebs

Alongside his work in the company, he collaborates with numerous orchestras, participates in many premieres, and has a deep focus on early music.

He regularly shares his expertise in reed-making courses and professional development seminars, including at the Advanced Training Academy for Music Teachers in Upper Austria, the Music School Network of Tyrol, the Institute of Music Education of South Tyrol, the State Academy of Music in Hamburg, the Early Instrumental Symposium for Oboe, Clarinet, and Bassoon, and workshops organized by the Society for Oboe and Bassoon (formerly IDRS).
