Martin Berger is one of the most popular, versatile and successful German choir conductors and combines artistic practice and academic teaching at a high level.

Martin graduated in church music, music education, musicology, German literature and choral conducting. Master classes and artistic collaborations (e.g. with Eric Ericson, Anders Eby, Gary Graden) introduced him to the major Scandinavian choir directors who influenced his approach to choral music significantly.

During his time as Director of Music at Würzburg Cathedral he developed the Cathedral music to one of the foremost institutions of its kind in Germany. As a professor of choral pedagogy at the Robert Schumann Hochschule in Düsseldorf he taught and further developed modern teaching methods for choral music.

Martin won the international choral competitions in Malta (2007) and the Franz-Schubert-Choir competition in Vienna (2008) with the chamber choir he founded at Würzburg Cathedral. Concert tours have taken him to almost all European countries, Australia, China, Singapore, South Africa and the United States. He regularly appears as guest conductor for professional choirs and orchestras.

Martin is an internationally sought after conductor, masterclass-leader, guest lecturer, adjudicator and scholar. International commitments include the Vice-Presidency of the World Youth and Children’s Choral Artists’ Association (WYCCAA), the membership of CEPROM (Commission for the Education of Professional Musicians), the membership of ISME (International Society for Music Education) and ISPME (International Society for the Philosophy in Music Education).
