Life

Karl Scharnweber (organ) with Choral Concert 2019

After his school days in Rostock, Karl Scharnweber began studying church music at the Evangelical College for Church Music in Halle in 1969 . From 1973 he worked as a church musician in various churches in Mecklenburg . In addition to this task, which he held part-time from 1997 to 2016 for the Rostock inner city parish, he devotes himself to composing and performing new arrangements of various theological texts. As early as the 1970s, Karl Scharnweber worked with the Weber Trio to perform their own jazz compositions.

In 1987 he founded the Trio ChoralConcert with Thomas Klemm ( tenor saxophone , flute) and Wolfgang Schmiedt (guitars) in order to be able to implement his musical ideas. The texts for his works are mainly provided by the theology professor Eckart Reinmuth from Rostock, other texts come from Ingo Barz . The works go beyond church music and also deal with historical and time-critical topics. Karl Scharnweber is a co-founder of the Canticum novum association , which supports the work of Reinmut and Scharnweber and enables continuous work.

Numerous concert tours have taken Karl Scharnweber to various countries in Europe and the USA. Scharnweber is socially committed and is considered to be modest: he performed with a ChoralConcert in nursing homes, in the prison in Bützow or at AIDS services. In June 2013 he received the culture award of the Hanseatic City of Rostock .
