Life

Bernhard Schneyer was born in Wernigerode in 1968. Music has played an important role in his life since he was five. From the age of six he received violin lessons at the Wernigerode Music School and later played in the music school's orchestra. Later he also received piano lessons. From the age of 15 he continued his musical education in the special classes for music (today: Landesgymnasium für Musik Wernigerode ) in the same subjects as well as composition. At the same time he sang in the radio youth choir Wernigerode. The active violin playing faded into the background, but has remained with him until today. He finished his school education in 1986 with the Abitur and the qualification for choir director. Then he does basic military service .

From 1988 to 1994, Bernhard Schneyer studied composition with Jörg Herchet and violin with Christian Redder at the Carl Maria von Weber Academy of Music in Dresden . During his studies he changed his main subject from violin to piano with Gunnar Nauck. He finished his studies with a diploma and an artistic exam.

Bernhard Schneyer has been teaching composition and music studies at the Georg Philipp Telemann Conservatory in Magdeburg since 1993 . From 1994 to 1995 he was also a teacher of music theory and composition, director of the music school orchestra and a studio for electronic sound generation at the Bernburg Music School. From 2001, Schneyer taught ear training and composition at the Institute for Music at the Otto von Guericke University in Magdeburg until its closure in 2010. Since 2008, he has also directed the Magdeburg Youth Symphony Orchestra.

Bernhard Schneyer is married and lives with his family in Magdeburg .

Educational work

Composer class (es)

At the beginning of his employment at the G.-Ph.-Telemann Conservatory, his growing composer class cooperated with that of his colleague Dieter Nathow to enable the students to give concerts together. After his retirement in 2002, Bernhard Schneyer took over the sole management of the Magdeburg composer class. Increasing participation of his students in courses in the composer class Halle-Dresden, which was led by fellow students Schneyer, led to an ideal fusion of both classes. After the Halle-Dresden composer class was dissolved in 2007, the Saxony-Anhalt composer class was formed, which Schneyer took over from 2008 to 2012. He has been deputy chairman since 2012.

Youth Symphony Orchestra Magdeburg

In 2008 he took over the management of the Magdeburg Youth Symphony Orchestra. In the following years, Magdeburg's city partnerships resulted in international concert tours and joint projects. The JSO was in Le Havre in 2014 and 2017 and in Radom in 2016 . Return visits to the music schools have already taken place and are still planned. Financially, this is only possible through benefit concerts, which the two Rotary Clubs of Magdeburg organize once a year for the orchestra.
