Laura Dümpelmann began her studies of recorder and historical double reed instruments after completing a degree in geophysics. She has been living and studying at music universities in Versailles, Weimar and Graz since then. She has kind of always been been fascinated by the architecture between early middle ages and renaissance. The moment she knew that mensural notation existed she decided to specialize in the 14th to early 16th century repertoire. In this context she enjoys composed and improvised polyphony and diminutions in (recorder) consort and vocal practice. Among her teachers were Pierre Boragno, Myriam Eichberger, Martin Erhardt, Andreas Böhlen, Amy Power and Rebecca Stewart.

Laura currently lives in Bremen, Germany, where she founded Hanse Pfeyfferey in 2020, an ensemble to dedicated to loud renaissance wind instruments. 

She loves to sing and teach both melody and text of De tous biens playne and other chansons recently also started to develope her personal connection to sacred music.
