Philipp Marguerre studied piano at the Mannheim University of Music and Performing Arts in the piano class of Andreas Pistorius. A prize-winner at numerous competitions (including the Karl Lang Competition and Jugend musiziert), he attended masterclasses at the Mozarteum in Salzburg in the class of Anthony Paratore, in Radolfzell with Klaus Schilde, and in Plauen in the class of Andreas Pistorius. Since 2010, Philipp Marguerre has been performing as a pianist and song accompanist, including regular appearances with the Deutsches Filmorchester Babelsberg.
In 2002, Philipp Marguerre became a member of the glass music ensemble sinfonia di vetro. Since then, he has performed worldwide as a glass instrument musician in concert settings and as an opera soloist. He plays exclusively the glass instruments developed by Sascha Reckert, in particular the Verrophon. His appearances as a soloist have taken him to venues including the Semperoper in Dresden, the Royal Opera House, the Deutsche Oper Berlin, La Scala in Milan, the San Francisco Opera House, the Teatro Real in Madrid (in each case with Natalie Dessay) and the Wiener Staatsoper (with Anna Netrebko), as well as the Salzburger Festspiele.
Philipp Marguerre has a particular interest in the use of glass instruments in the early Classical and Romantic periods. Thanks to his research, sinfonia di vetro has been able to revive unjustly forgotten works, thereby comprehensively expanding the repertoire for rare glass instruments. In 2006, he founded the music publishing house Inter-Note, which publishes, amongst other things, original literature for historical and modern glass instruments.
His theoretical and practical skills, as well as his love of improvisation, are diverse. Music ensembles and composers work with him on an ongoing basis. This has led to long-standing collaborations, such as with Garry Eister, whose works he premiered and for whose CD recording "Traveling in Rain" he performed the glass instrument parts, as well as his ongoing involvement since 2012 with the verrophon part in George Benjamin’s opera "Written on Skin".
