"A moving evening" and "an impressive soundscape"—that's how the press describes these two "excellent musicians," who are highly sought-after figures in the music scene. They have performed at chamber concerts of the Baden-Baden Philharmonic, DAS FEST Karlsruhe, the Hohenlohe Cultural Summer, the North Hesse Cultural Summer, the International Bach Academy Stuttgart, and on the SWR television show "Kaffee oder Tee" (Coffee or Tea).
 
Concert tours have taken the duo to Switzerland, Great Britain, Ireland, Canada, the USA, South America, Georgia, and the Mediterranean region. duo querhorn expands its ensemble to include guitar, harp, piano, organ, accordion, or strings as needed.
 
In 2023, KREISRUND.media, directed by Magdalena Adugna, produced an artistic television documentary about duo querhorn. The duo was also selected by a jury of experts for ensemble funding from the German Music Council. Their sustainable concert formats have received the "Green Event BW" award from the state of Baden-Württemberg on several occasions.

Alphorn and flute are excellently combined, carrying and yet floating in lightness.
Badisches Tagblatt

The music by Johannes Hustedt, flute, and Chai Min Werner, alphorn, which is rarely heard in such a formation, was deeply moving. If one usually associates the sound of the alphorn with high mountain idyll and folklore in the glowing of the Alpes, the solemn melodies of this music open the senses and broaden the horizon.
Badisches Tagblatt

"The deep, full tone of the alphorn - made of coniferous wood over three metres long - and the lightly airy, bright runs on the flute, resulted in a unique contrast. A moving evening." Pforzheimer Zeitung

Pleasant melody lines
