Gerhard Hölzle

Born in Kempten in 1960, the lyric tenor was initially a student of Florian Mayr, later of Ingrid Bettag and James Taylor, and most recently studied under Sami Kustaloglu. He performs as a soloist, primarily in southern Germany, with a repertoire focusing on Baroque and Romantic literature. Gerhard Hölzle sings in concerts and performances with professional solo vocal ensembles and choirs in Germany and abroad, with whom he also participates in radio and CD productions. Together with Marcus Schmidl, he directs the professional ensemble Cantus München (www.cantusmünchen.de), which is dedicated to Renaissance music in the German-speaking world, but also to music of Christian-Jewish dialogue. The Cantvs München Foundation supports the ensemble in its work.
