The training as a tenor and painter

After my time with the Wiener Sängerknaben, I returned to Upper Austria. Thanks to a creative and innovative art teacher at my high school, I also discovered my talent for painting, which led to my first professional exhibitions. I was also encouraged musically and finally passed the Matura at the music-pedagogical Realgymnasium with the piano concerto "Rhapsody in Blue" by George Gershwin.

 

The Academy of Music and Performing Arts and the Academy of Fine Arts, the "Angewandte" in Vienna were the next destinations. I studied singing with Kammersängerin Hilde Rössl-Majdan and painting with Adolf Frohner. I enjoyed student life to the fullest, alternating between music and painting. As a pianist, singer, guitarist and cabaret artist I gained stage experience around Vienna and in summer at my beloved Attersee.

 

I financed my studies as an educator at the Wiener Sängerknaben, then the first "real" engagement as a tenor in the ORF radio choir. This was followed by appearances as a professional chorister in the Vienna Musikverein, at the ORF, in the Viennese concert halls and in the Viennese theaters and opera houses. My desire to immerse myself completely in the world of the singer and soloist was soon awakened. Before that, however, I had a bread and butter job: I studied music education with outstanding professors such as Heinz Kratochwil, Erwin Ortner and Uwe Harrer, and after graduating - with honors - I returned to Upper Austria for some time as a teacher.
