Krey comes from a family whose name has been documented in and around Cologne for hundreds of years . He lived in Bergisch Gladbach and has been with Karin Krey since 1964. Michels married, father of three children and grandfather of seven grandchildren. In 1971 he moved with his family to Kleve , where he still lives today.
education
After graduating from high school, Krey studied orchestral violin at the Cologne University of Music and Dance , then school music and musicology , art history and geography at the University of Cologne . At the same time he had a teaching position at the Dietrich-Bonhoeffer-Gymnasium in Bergisch Gladbach, where he taught for four more years after his state examination (1967).
He gained important first musical suggestions and experiences during his school days at the Nicolaus-Cusanus-Gymnasium in Bergisch Gladbach.
Krey had violin lessons and learned to play the viola himself . He took his first piano lessons at the university as a compulsory subject for both courses and taught himself to play the church organ on an autodidactic basis. He sang in the school choir and later in the Rheinisches Kammerchor under the direction of Hermann Schroeder .
During his student and grammar school teaching days, he made his first appearance in 1962 as conductor and organizer of the student orchestra "Orchester pro Musica" (1962–1967). He wrote a music history work on Max Bruch for the University of Cologne (published in the "Contributions to Rhenish Music History: Max Bruch and Bergisch Gladbach"). Krey is co-founder of a wind school of the DVB and worked as a violinist in the West German Mozart Orchestra Soest (Bad Neuenahr). He also worked as a cantor and organist at St. Severin Bergisch Gladbach -Sand (record with Bruckner mass). He also organized several series of concerts for classical music at Lerbach Castle, was a member of a student string quartet, conductor of a male choir and a secular mixed choir and was also the director of a wind orchestra during that time (performance: Rhapsody in Blue by Gershwin). He taught violin and viola and built a school orchestra (WDR recording with songs by the Beatles, among others). The study of the Tristan chord in 1969 led to a previously unknown result, which Krey revised again in 2013 and finally published.
job
In 1971 he took over the management of the music schools in the Kleve district and was responsible for the development and expansion of the school for 31 years, for musical education and for the pre-professional musical training of children, young people and adults. He himself initially taught basic musical training and later the violin and viola. The Kleve district is responsible for the music schools with offices in Kleve and Geldern .
Music school concert programs
As a conductor, Krey created the following music school concert programs: Performances of Igor Stravinsky's “The Soldier's Story” in collaboration with the Theater am Niederrhein in front of over 2000 listeners (children and parents from the KMS basic courses), the “Music for Young People” series with funds from Scenic representation in collaboration with the city of Kleve, Beethoven's piano concertos, Ravel's Bolero, Bela Bartok: “Three Pictures” with MGA children and their mothers and the teacher - student orchestra and the world premiere of “Norfer Te Deum” by Ludwig Soumagne and Manfred Niehaus. For the newly established Kreis Klever Kultourtage, Krey was responsible for the conception and organization for four festival years. In cooperation with colleagues from the music schools, programs could be created that let the diversity of classical European music from its beginnings through to the present come to life in a special way. For many years, Krey was chairman of the regional committee for youth music in the area of Kleve, city of Krefeld, and Wesel district on the left bank of the Rhine and a member of the Federal Association of Music Schools with various publications on "Jugend musiziert". A short-term invitation and quick promise to work with a symphony orchestra to be put together as an accompanying orchestra for the tenor Giuseppe Di Stefano in “Wetten dass” 1992 in the APXanten is a lasting experience for everyone involved.
The participation of the brass ensemble of the KMS in the federal competition JM 1972 (ARD and ZDF reports), the concerts of the symphony orchestra of the KMS, the two concert tours to France (Provence and Nantes) and the concert recording with the Niederrhein Youth Symphony Orchestra and the 7th Symphony by Anton Bruckner ( abruckner.com) show the development of the musical performance of the students in the Kleve district and on the Lower Rhine. Publications on this in the Klever and Geldern home calendars about the music schools in the Kleve district from 1972 and 2002. Last but not least, Krey is the inventor of the VdM “Leopold” media prize .
