Johannes Hiemetsberger
Choir Jury & Workshop Lecturer
„A choir - the most delicious instrument of all“
Johannes Hiemetsberger, leader of Chorus sine nomine, which was founded in 1991, perfectly follows this conviction. Moving forwards he conscientiously leads the choir to more and more demanding projects.
Born in Kaltenberg, Upper Austria, in 1971, Johannes Hiemetsberger took conducting lessons with Johannes Prinz, Erwin Ortner and many other renowned choral conductors. After studying the trumpet at the Linz Bruckner Conservatory for four years, in 1990 he enrolled at the University for Music in Vienna (musical pedagogy). Two years later he continued his studies at the Vienna Conservatory (conducting with G. Mark as well as R. Schwarz and specializing in Ancient Music).
During his studies he acquired extensive experience not only as a singer but also as a rehearsal assistant with various Viennese choirs. Since 1992 he has passed on this experience at numerous choir workshops and choral conducting seminars both in Austria and abroad. In the summer of 2000, for instance, he has been invited to the „Europa Cantat“ in Nevers/France. Since 1996 he has organized the vocal workshop CANTATA, which takes place at his home community of Kaltenberg every summer.
