Life

Bernd Scholz wanted to become a composer from a young age. The broadcaster Breslau brought the first composition from the age of twelve. After graduating from high school, he went to Berlin and, after completing a degree in German, studied music at the Academy for School and Church Music. Soon he began to write radio plays and other music for the Berlin broadcasters. Then came film orders, e.g. B. the full-length " Nanga Parbat " films. The Second World War banished him to Russia for ten years , five of which he was a prisoner of war .

He did not return to Germany until 1950. In 1952 he married and settled in Schliersee. There are three children from the marriage. He wrote radio plays and television music, worked with the directors Lietzau, Beauvais , Düggelin, Schlechte, Westphal and ten Haaf , among others , and had a world premiere at the International Festival of Modern Music in Donaueschingen in 1954 under Hans Rosbaud. He composed large concerts for Siegfried Behrend , to whom he dedicated the Japanese Concerto, and Willi Stech. At the festival of light music he was represented with commissions from various radio stations. His works are played by all German broadcasters, among others.

Bernd Scholz died at the age of 58 and rests today in the cemetery at the parish church of St. Sixtus in Schliersee.
