Life

Fischer studied church music , organ and conducting at the Munich University of Music and Theater under Franz Lehrndorfer , Gitti Pirner , Roderich Kreile , Hermann Michael and Hanns-Martin Schneidt . As a harpsichordist and organist , he gave concerts in various countries. In 1997 he took third place at the International Gottfried Silbermann Organ Competition in Freiberg. Fischer is the initiator of the project An Organ for Bach in St. Katharinen, Hamburg . The reconstruction of the historic St. Katharinen organ was completed in 2013 by the Flentrop company .

In 2016, Andreas Fischer presented a reconstruction of Johann Sebastian Bach's Markus Passion BWV 247 at Ortus Verlag, which applies Bach's parody method to all missing parts of the text book and in this way not only wins arias and choruses, but also the recitatives. The templates come from Bach's cantatas, but the two known passions are not used. Fischer's version uses only the music of Johann Sebastian Bach.

In 2009 he was awarded the title of Church Music Director.
