Peter Hoerr (cello)
Cellist and Conductor Peter Hoerr is considered to be one of the most interesting and versatile German musicians of his generation; an early interest in “ancient music” leading to seminal studies with Heinrich Schiff and Christophe Coin at the Basel Music Academy made him into the worldwide concert soloist and sought-after chamber musician that he is today. Prize winner of the 1989 Schevenigen International Cello Competition, Peter Hoerr has since appeared as cellist in leading concert halls around the world. After becoming artistic director of the Hofkapelle Weimar, he assumed the position of music director the following year. In October 2011 he will conduct the Kobe City Chamber Orchestra in major concert halls. As an interpreter and conductor who is engaged, interesting and historically informed, Peter Hoerr constantly brings a new approach to the classical orchestra repertoire. With the Hofkapelle Weimar he made his first, very successful SACD as soloist and conductor with MDG, which won an Echo Prize in 2010. ( Mehr lesen... )
