Markus Schneider-Francke (Tenor)

Born: Freiburg/Brsg, Germany

The German tenor, Markus Schneider-Francke, studied first music science and music education, before he attached singing studies with Professor Arthur Janzen and conducting studies with Professor Johannes Hömberg. Resuming studies brought him together and others with Christoph Prégardien, Professor Berthold Schmid and Professor Stewart Emerson.

Markus Schneider-Francke works both as a singer, a choir director and a singing teacher. He gained an extensive repertoire from the Renaissance to the modern era. His concert activity led him to Israel, France, Tschechei, the Köhler Philharmonie with Britten’s War Requiem, the Kölner Dom with Bach’s Weihnachts-Oratorium (BWV 248), an the Munich’s Prinzregenttheater with Bach’s Mass in B minor (BWV 232). He gave concerts with the Deutschen Barock-Solisten and participated in various opera productions, including as Tamino in the Mozart’s Zauberflöte.

Besides Markus Schneider-Francke holds for many years a training post for singing at the Universität Siegen.
