Michael Sanderling
Michael Sanderling is a German cellist and conductor active in the Netherlands, Switzerland, and Germany. He began his career as a virtuoso cellist and discovered his calling as a conductor later in his life. He was born in East Berlin in 1967 to a musical family. His father Kurt Sanderling was a very successful conductor, and his mother Barbara Wagner was a respected double bassist. When he was five years old, he started taking cello lessons. In 1978 he enrolled at the Spezialschule für Musik Berlin, where he studied with cellist Matthias Pfaender. After he graduated in 1984, he was accepted at the Hanns Eisler Hoschschule für Musik, where he became a student of Josef Schwab. Sanderling also studied privately with William Pleeth, Yo-Yo Ma, and other master cellists. He began performing professionally in 1987 as the principal cellist of the Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra. This was followed by an appointment in the same position with the Berlin Radio Symphony Orchestra from 1994 to 2006. During this time, he started an additional career as an educator, with appointments at the Hanns Eisler Hoschschule für Musik, the Frankfurt University of Music and Performing Arts, and the Hochschule der Künste Bern. Sanderling made his conducting debut in 2000 with the Kammerorchester Berlin, and three years later was appointed principal conductor of the Deutsche Streicherphilharmonie. He also conducted the Kammerakademie Potsdam beginning in 2006, which led to a recording of chamber symphonies by Shostakovich in 2008. He discontinued his career as a cellist in 2010 so he could focus on conducting and teaching. From 2011 to 2019 he was the chief conductor of the Dresden Philharmonic, and he recorded the complete symphonies of Beethoven and Shostakovich. This was followed by an appointment as chief conductor with the Lucerne Symphony Orchestra beginning in 2021. He led the Lucerne SO on tours in Europe and Asia in the 2022 season, and in 2023 he released a recording of Brahms’ symphonies on the Warner Classics label.
