Lorenz Raab
Lorenz Raab (* 1975 in Linz ) is an Austrian trumpeter (also flugelhorn , piccolo trumpet , natural trumpet ) who oscillates between jazz and classical music.

As a child, Raab learned to play the trumpet at the instigation of his father, who, as the conductor of the fire brigade band Rainbach im Innkreis, needed a first trumpeter. From the age of 14 he studied classical trumpet between 1989 and 1997 with Adolf Holler at the Vienna University of Music . A two-year stay in Bremen (1997–1999), where he was taught by jazz musicians such as Kenny Wheeler and Ingrid Jensen at the trumpet academy there , was decisive for his further career . After his return to Austria he continued to study the trumpet at the Salzburg Mozarteum with Hans Gansch .
