Life

Andreas Grün graduated from Kepler-Gymnasium Pforzheim in 1979 and studied school music at the Karlsruhe University of Music from 1980 to 1986 and musicology from 1981 to 1985. From 1986 to 1988 he studied guitar with Konrad Ragossnig at the University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna . From 1988 to 1992 he studied composition with Wolfgang Rihm in Karlsruhe, from 1992 to 1993 with Rudolf Kelterborn at the Music Academy of the City of Basel . In 1989 he had a teaching assignment for guitar at the Karlsruhe University of Music to represent Wilhelm Bruck, who was on leave. From 1995 to 2001 he was the conductor of the plucked orchestra “Mandolinata Karlsruhe”, and from 1996 to 2012 he was a guitar teacher at the music and art school Westlicher Enzkreis. From 2003 to 2012 he taught the instrumental guitar course at the University of Music and Performing Arts Mannheim . Since 2006 he has been teaching guitar and new music for guitar at the Trossingen University of Music .

In 1994 Grün was invited to Vilnius for the first time as a player and composer , from which a long-term private and artistic connection with Lithuania developed. From 2008 to 2009 Grün received decisive impulses from the Dutch musician physiotherapist Gerrit Onne van de Klashorst, the founder of Dispokinesis . Since then he has campaigned for a physiologically sound guitar playing technique in workshops and publications.

As a guitarist, Grün has premiered numerous works, including by Stephan Marc Schneider , Frank Michael , Rolf Riehm , David Lang , Felix Werder , and Simone Fontanelli. In 2010 he found the manuscript of the previously lost, earliest guitar work by Hans Werner Henze , the music of which was written in 1955 for Ernst Schnabel's radio novel The Sixth Song , which he performed for the first time in 2016.

Grün lives in Karlsruhe , where he has been chairman of the Karlsruhe regional association in the Baden-Württemberg Tonkünstlerverband since 2015 .
