Reentko Dirks guitar
Besides his main project Dirks und Wirtz, Reentko writes music for movies, artists of
the Cirque du Soleil and the Semperoper Ballet. He is a member of the European Guitar
Quartet (with Zoran Dukic, Pavel Steidl and Thomas Fellow) and is also performs regularly
with the clarinetist Giora Feidman. 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 become a drummer. In 2000 he moved to Dresden to study Guitar/World Music
where he met Daniel Nikolas Wirtz. Since 2007 performances and workshops have taken
Reentko to concert halls and festivals all around the world.
Daniel Wirtz guitar
Daniel Wirtz, born in 1979, decided to learn guitar at the age of ten. On his instrument as
well as in numerous compositions he combines elements of Jazz, classical and traditional
music. In 1999 he achieved first place in the competition Jugend Jazzt (Youth Jazz) in
his region Northrhein-Westphalica before he moved to Dresden to study the subject of
Guitar Worldmusic with Prof. Thomas Fellow in 2000 and then four years later to Linz,
Austria to continue his studies with Michael Langer. He currently teaches at the Music
Academy of Dresden. As a musician he has been active in several theatres (Rheinisches
Landestheater Neuss, Crash-Theater Krefeld, Staatsschauspiel/Staatsoper Dresden ) and
also performs with the band Ziganimo.
