Odile Ettelt

Odile Ettelt (*1999 in Hamburg) was taught the clarinet from an early age by her father Odilo Ettelt and later received private instruction from Prof. Gaspare Buonomano. Already at the age of 11 years, she was awarded a first prize at the national level of the German
„Jugend Musiziert“ Competition. She also received a second prize at the Samnium International Clarinet Competition in Italy.

In 2017, Odile began her undergraduate studies at the Mozarteum university of Salzburg with Prof. Andreas Schablas. She now continues her studies pursuing a Master’s degree in Berlin, under the guidance of Prof. Martin Spangenberg und Prof. Ralf Forster.

Odile received additional musical impulses studying abroad in the Amsterdam studio of Prof. Arno Piters, as well as in masterclasses with clarinet soloists such as Sabine Meyer, Kilian Herold, Thomas Holzmann and Pascal Moragues. 

As a soloist, Odile has performed with the Bremen State Youth Orchestra, Concerto Elmshorn, the Freising Chamber Orchestra and the Festival Orchestra of the „Musikalischer Sommer in Ostfriesland“.

Parallel to her studies, Odile is already an in-demand guest musician, playing regularly as a substitute with renowned groups such as the Konzerthausorchester Berlin, the Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen, the Deutsche Oper Berlin and the Kammerakademie Postdam.

She also has a passion for historically informed performance practice and has played in period instrument ensembles including the Lautten Compagney, the Hofkapelle Stuttgart, the Elbipolis Barockorchester Hamburg und the Akademie für Alte Musik Berlin.

In May 2025, Odile commenced a two-year scholarship at the Giuseppe-Sinopoli-Academy of the Staatskapelle Dresden.
