Georg Grun

A major choral conductor in Germany's Saarland region, Georg Grün has also been active in other parts of Germany and internationally. He is also a noted educator. Grün attended the Universität des Saarlandes and the Musikhochschule Saarbrücken, studying church music, music education, conducting, musicology, and Catholic theology. He also traveled to Paris to study organ improvisation with Jean-Pierre Leguay at Notre Dame Cathedral. Back home, he established the KammerChor Saarbrücken in 1990; he remained its director as of the early 2020s. From 1991 until 2000, Grün taught music and theology at a Catholic high school. In 2000, he became a professor at the Mannheim University of Music and the Performing Arts. That year, he made his recording debut on the Christophorus label, leading the KammerChor Saarbrücken in the Johannes-Passion and motets by Christoph Demantius. In 2003, Grün and the choir moved to the Carus label for a recording of the Requiem mass "Seele, vergiss Sie nicht"; they have made several more recordings for Carus. While at Mannheim, he had various other conducting responsibilities, leading the university's large choir and symphony orchestra and the regional Kurpfälzisches Kammerorchester. Grün joined the faculty at the Musikhochschule Saarbrücken in 2012, remaining there as of the early 2020s. He also founded the BachChor Saarbrücken. Grün has taught as a guest at the Conservatorio di Musica Giuseppe Tartini in Trieste, Italy, and the Royal College of Music Stockholm in 2010. He has maintained his musical career, appearing as a guest conductor with various vocal and instrumental groups, including the Vokalensemble SWR, the Coro Nacional de Jóvenes in Argentina, the Saarbrücken Radio Symphony Orchestra, and the Mannheim Chamber Philharmonic. He is a member of the Daarler Vocal Consort. Grün has continued to record with the KammerChor Saarbrücken, leading the rarely heard Requiem in D flat major, Op. 148, of Schumann on the Hänssler Classic label. His repertory ranges from Tomás Luis de Victoria in the Renaissance to contemporary works, heard on the 2016 Rondeau recording Ultimum: New a Cappella Music. In 2019, Grün and the KammerChor returned on Carus with the album Ko Matsushima: Consolatio - Contemporary Choral Music. Grün is also a composer, four of whose works have been recorded by the Daarler Vocal Consort.
