Karl-Heinz Pinhammer (Baritone)

Born: Febuary 29, 1936 – Germany
Died: Mid 1980’s (?) - Germany

The German baritone, Karl-Heinz Pinhammer, came from a family, where music played almost no role. His father was an engine driver, his older brother miner. He left the Gymnasium aged 17, passed the entrance examination to music school (most probably in Wuppertal) - and earned some money as a organ player in church.

Karl-Heinz Pinhammer was Professor for vocal either in Lübeck or in Hannover Music University. Not many years later, a traffic accident stopped his career abruptly, he died (perthaps in the middle of the 1980’s).
