Life

When Hermann Karl August Brune was born in the royal seat of the Kingdom of Hanover , Brune studied playing the horn and singing. On September 1, 1877, he received the position of horn player in the royal court orchestra in Hanover. In 1881 Brune became a member of the Hanover Art Association , for whose celebrations and festivals he, as well as others, composed songs and choral music. In the same year, on December 6th, he was accepted as a Freemason in the Hannoversche Loge Friedrich zum white horse .

Also from 1881 and until 1887 Brune worked as a vocal repetiteur / lecturer at the Royal Court Theater in Hanover . He then continued his own vocal training, taking lessons from Julius Stockhausen , among others . In the meantime, Brune had numerous appearances as a celebrated singer, especially sacred music with works by Georg Friedrich Handel , Johann Sebastian Bach and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and others. Brune was also court chamber singer at the royal court at Schloss Bückeburg .

In 1897 Brune founded the first conservatory in Hanover together with the court composer Emil Evers and the piano teacher Karl Leimer , whose first director was Hermann Brune and from which today's Hanover University of Music, Drama and Media developed.

Brunestrasse, which was laid out in the Hanoverian district of Waldhausen in 1906, was so named because the Kammersänger had the first building built on the street with his own house built in 1910. In 1950 the street became part of Güntherstraße .
