About me

I am Maximilian Robin Treller, harpist, composer, and improviser.

Born in Remscheid in 2003, I received my first harp lessons at the age of 13 at the Bergische Musikschule Wuppertal with Kathrin Montero-Küpper. After graduating from high school in 2023, I began my bachelor's degree at the Lübeck University of Music with Prof. Gesine Dreyer.

In addition to classical music, I am particularly fascinated by contemporary music and improvisation. Since 2020, I have been composing my own works and exploring new sound possibilities for the harp in order to expand the traditional image of the instrument. In doing so, I am searching for innovative forms of expression and new spaces in which my instrument can be experienced in a different light.

I have played in various ensembles and projects, including the Ensemble Improxy and Klangrauschen, and gained important inspiration in masterclasses and workshops with Maria Graf, Joel von Lerber, Maud Edenwald, Zuzanna Elster, Markus Thalheimer, Masumi Nagasawa, Manja Smits, and Margret Köll.

I received composition lessons from Katharina Rosenberger, Marisol Jimenez Becerra, and Milica Djordjevic, and improvisation lessons from Markus Stockhausen, Livia Schweizer, Justyna Niznik and Corinna Eikmeier.

Since 2025, I have been an academician in the Lübeck Symphony Orchestra and a scholarship holder of the German National Academic Foundation.
