Caspar Erler is a violinist and Baroque violinist from Dresden. He received his musical training at the Landesgymnasium für Musik Dresden and subsequently studied under Prof. C. Uhlig. His path led him into the world of historical performance practice at an early age. He gained formative experience, among other places, with the youth Baroque orchestra *Bachs Erben* and at the Bachakademie Stuttgart.

Today, Caspar Erler performs in a wide variety of musical ensembles and projects—as a soloist, in chamber music, and in orchestras, as well as in church music. He is the founder of Camerata Musikuss and also performs with the Ensemble Lachrymae, the Ensemble Ponticello, Perpetuum Regensburg, and the Telemannisches Collegium Michaelstein. As a guest artist, he collaborates with groups such as Baroque Lab / Sinfonia Leipzig and the Sinfonietta Dresden.

Throughout his musical career, Caspar Erler has collaborated with numerous renowned musicians. These include conductors Hans-Christoph Rademann, Friedrich Praetorius, and Jonas Kraft. As part of the Bachakademie Stuttgart, he also worked with the internationally renowned singer Emma Kirkby. Numerous projects with cantors, particularly in the field of church music, complement his musical work.

His concert career has taken him throughout Saxony and Germany, as well as to international projects in Italy, France, Switzerland, Israel, and Russia.

What particularly sets Caspar Erler apart as a musician is his joy in playing and his intense musical sensibility. For him, music is a language—it tells stories, moves people, connects them, and thrives on expression. Historical performance practice not only offers access to the soundscapes of the past but also the opportunity to rediscover music in a direct and vibrant way.

His versatility is also evident in a musical contrast: as a member of Balkaneros Dresden, he is equally at home in the energetic world of Balkan music. Whether playing the Baroque violin, performing with a classical orchestra, playing chamber music, church music, or Balkan music, one thing always unites him: the joy of making music together and the desire to bring music to life with expression and personality.
