Maximilian Ehrhardt was born in Tettnang (Germany). After preliminary education as a young talent at the Landeskonservatorium für Vorarlberg (Austria) and the Konservatorium der Stadt Zürich, he studied the harp with Erika Waardenburg at the Conservatorium van Amsterdam, from where he graduated in 2009 with the Master’s Degree with distinctions. In 2008 he started simultaneously his studies of historical harps with Mara Galassi at the Accademia Internazionale della Musica di Milano, graduating with the Master’s Degree in 2015, again with the highest marks. In 2013 he won the audition to perform the harp solo in Monteverdi’s ‘Orfeo’ during the 20th European Baroque Academy of Ambronay, which was followed by an international tour.
