Johannes Weiss is a singer, conductor, and harpsichordist, primarily (but not exclusively) dedicated to the music of the 17th and 18th centuries. In Vienna he teaches as a Senior Lecturer for ensemble and historical interpretation at the mdw Department of Early Music. In addition to maintaining international concert and opera engagements, mainly as a tenor soloist or ensemble leader, he developed \u2013 together with his colleague Heidi Gr\u00f6ger \u2013 several government-financed festivals like \u00bbMusikfest Eichst\u00e4tt\u00ab in Bavaria and \u00bbSpandau macht Alte Musik\u00ab in Berlin.<\/p>\n

Before turning more to solo singing, Johannes initially completed his studies in music pedagogy (secondary school) and historical instruments (harpsichord with Lars Ulrik Mortensen and Glen Wilson; Viola da Gamba with Jaap ter Linden). During his college years, he won several competitions on both instruments, including the Biagio-Marini-Wettbewerb in Neuburg\/Donau, the Van-Wassenaer-Concours in The Hague, the chamber music prize of the Polytechnische Gesellschaft in Frankfurt am Main, and the Alte-Musik-Wettbewerb of the Stiftung Preu\u00dfischer Kulturbesitz in Berlin.<\/p>\n

Singing came more and more into focus at the same time, and Johannes received inspiration through his studies with Hedwig Fassbender; in masterclasses with Christoph Pr\u00e9gardien, Ernst H\u00e4fliger, Guillemette Laurens and Thomas Heyer; and as a member of the Atelier Lyrique of the Paris Opera. He has had solo roles at the Oper Frankfurt, the Freie Landestheater Bayern, the Hessische Staatstheater Wiesbaden, the Op\u00e9ra La Monnaie in Brussels, the National Theater in Prague, the Op\u00e9ra National de Paris, the Danzig Opera, the Op\u00e9ra de Monte Carlo, and the Kammeroper Schloss Rheinsberg.<\/p>\n

Through his work as musician, teacher, and conductor, Johannes Weiss goes beyond simply making music \u2013 he endeavors to form and shape the current musical landscape, driven by the goal of inspiring more people to feel passionate about music.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>
