Konstantin Reinfeld

The harmonica player Konstantin Reinfeld is one of the defining voices of his instrument in international concert life. With his lyrical tone, clear musical style and great stylistic openness, he brings the harmonica into the concert hall and establishes it as a expressive solo instrument between classical, contemporary and interdisciplinary music. 

In 2019, Reinfeld was awarded the Opus Klassik, the most important prize in classical music in Germany. 

Reinfeld has performed internationally in Europe and Asia and has appeared at major cultural events such as Expo 2020 in Dubai and Expo 2025 in Osaka. His concerts have also taken him to renowned concert halls such as the Concertgebouw Amsterdam and the Cologne Philharmonic Orchestra. 

As a soloist, he worked with orchestras such as the Staatskapelle Weimar, the NDR Radio Philharmonic Orchestra, the WDR Funkhaus Orchestra, the Baden-Württemberg State Orchestra of Karlsruhe, and the Big Band of the Deutsche Oper Berlin. 

Several new works for harmonica were specially composed for him, including concert pieces by Wolf Kerschek and Alan Broadbent. A central artistic partnership is his duo with the pianist Benyamin Nuss. 

Reinfeld is also active internationally outside the traditional concert business. He has worked with artists such as Nathan East, China Moses and Parov Stelar and performed together with the Moroccan pop star Saad Lamjarred in front of over 320,000 people. 

In addition to his concert activities, Reinfeld is also active as a producer and mixing engineer. He studied, among other things, with the harmonica pioneer Howard Levy. His textbook, published by Hal Leonard, is used internationally in teaching.
