  • Bio

    <........ Reentko Dirks ist Gitarrist, Komponist und Studiomusiker. In einigen Formationen ist er außerdem auch als Perkussionist aktiv. Er ist einer der wenigen Gitarristen, die sowohl im klassischen als auch im Pop- und Worldmusicbereich gleichermaßen gefragt sind. Einige seiner Projekte wurden mit Preisen ausgezeichnet, u.a. mit dem Sonderpreis des „1. European Guitar Award 2006“ für das Gitarrenduo „Dirks und Wirtz“ und dem Deutschen Kleinkunstpreis 2008 für „Annamateur und die Außensaiter“. Seine bisherigen Konzertreisen führten Reentko Dirks in die Semperoper Dresden, in Konzertsäle verschiedener europäischer Länder und bis nach China. Er hat bisher vier CDs veröffentlicht - "Annamateur und ihre Gitarristen" (2005) sowie "Danza non Danza" (2007) mit seinem Gitarrenduo Dirks und Wirtz (www.myspace.com/Dirksundwirtz - mit Daniel Wirtz). 2009 erschienen zum einen die Live-CD "Walgesänge" (Annamateur und Außensaiter), zum anderen die Debut-CD seines anderen Gitarrenduos Kalkan (www.myspace.com/duokalkan - mit Erkin Cavus): "Planet Kalkan" (Acoustic Music). Im November 2010 erscheint sein Solo-Debut "Sounds for the silver screen" (teilweise in Zusammenarbeit mit Hollywood-Komponisten Richard Horowitz). Zu bestellen ist diese CD ab November unter reentko.com _____________________________________________________________ .... .... Reentko Dirks is a guitarist, composer and studio musician. His music is a distinctive blend of unorthodox, self-developed percussive playing techniques covering a wide range of styles. He is one of the few guitarists who can claim to be every bit as much in demand in the classical world as in the pop and world music scenes. He also features as a percussionist in some of the ensembles he performs with. Born in Bad Gandersheim (near Göttingen) in 1979, Reentko first took guitar lessons at the age of 7 – this despite the fact that he had actually wanted to take drum lessons. In 2000 he moved to Dresden to study “Guitar/World Music” under Prof. Thomas Fellow. 2007 saw him become one of Fellow’s fellow lecturer. Many of the performers he now plays with are musicians he met during his studies, a period during which he came into contact with jazz, flamenco and music from outside of Europe. He also spent half a year in Jerusalem in order to become more acquainted with the region’s Arab music. Reentko’s characteristic inquisitiveness, flexibility and willingness to submerge himself – often at very short notice – in new musical projects provide him with the ability to perform with a wide spectrum of ensembles and musicians from a variety of different backgrounds. Some of his projects have also received awards: the guitar duo “Dirks und Wirtz” took home the Special Prize at the “2006 1st European Guitar Awards”, whilst the “Annamateur und die Außensaiter” ensemble were awarded the Chanson/Music/Songwriting Prize at the 2008 German Cabaret Awards. Performances have so far taken Reentko Dirks to the Semper Opera House in Dresden, various European concert halls and as far away as China. He has released two CDs so far, "Annamateur und ihre Gitarristen" and "Danza non Danza" with his duo "Dirks und Wirtz" In 2009 there will be at least two new releases, a live-CD of Annamateur and the debut CD of his other duo, Kalkan, called "Planet Kalkan". In November 2010 Reentko's solo dbut "Sounds for the silver screen" is going to be released.
