Biographies

Gunter Berger

Choir Director / Direction children's and citizen's choir

Gunter Berger studied school music and orchestral conducting, but has devoted himself primarily to choral music since 1990. From 1990 to 2011, he led the MDR Children's Choir to European fame, and from summer 2012 he took over the direction of the Dresden Philharmonic Choir for ten years. Since 2022, he has concentrated on conducting the Dresden Philharmonic Children's Choir and the Bürgerchor am Kulti as well as on his numerous teaching activities, workshops and program ideas, with which he enriches the choral scene.

Thomas Lennartz, born in Hanover in 1971, studied organ, church music, school music, and German language and literature in Hanover, Cologne, and Leipzig, as well as organ improvisation at the Conservatoire in Paris. He completed his studies with the Church Music A Examination, the concert examination in organ—both with distinction—and the first state examination for teaching at secondary schools.

Sigrun Rottstädt

Born in Dresden, Sigrun Rottstädt is a radio presenter with heart and soul and is particularly fond of working in the cultural sector. Variety in life is important to her, which is why she feels so at home working for the radio where she experiences surprises and meets new people every day. In addition to her job there, she presents concerts, theatre plays and other events where, unlike on the radio, she can come into direct contact with her audience.
