Katharina Bäuml, born in 1975 in Munich, Germany, is a German oboist and shawm specialist. She studied modern oboe with Klaus Becker, Rainer Herweg, and Winfried Liebermann, earning her diploma with distinction. Concurrently, she pursued studies in Baroque oboe and other historical reed instruments under Renate Hildebrand and Katharina Arfken, completing an advanced degree at the Schola Cantorum in Basel. In 2005, Bäuml founded the wind ensemble Capella de la Torre, with whom she has recorded over 20 albums. Her repertoire spans from the 15th to the 17th century, and she has also been active in contemporary music, co-founding the Duo Mixtura with accordionist Margit Kern. This duo blends Renaissance music with contemporary works. Bäuml has directed several festivals and concert series, often combining early music with jazz.
