Uwe Komischke was born in Schwelm / North Rhine-Westphalia in 1961. After completing his musical training, he began his career at the age of 18 as first solo trumpeter in the Gelsenkirchen Philharmonic Orchestra. In 1983 he moved to the same position with the Munich Philharmonic under their chief conductor Sergiu Celibidache.
Uwe Komischke can be heard as a soloist not only in numerous concerts at home and abroad, but also on various CD productions. Composers such as Hans Stadlmair or Peter Michael Hamel dedicate works to him and at festivals he repeatedly works with well-known soloists such as Yuri Bashmet, Eduard Brunner or Vassily Lobanov or ensembles such as the Moscow Soloists.
The recording of the concert in E flat major by Josef Haydn with the Munich Philharmonic under Sergiu Celibidache caused a stir. His performances of the 2nd Brandenburg Concerto by Johann Sebastian Bach also show his extraordinary class as a musician and instrumentalist.
The development of his own instrument series and his sheet music publications (EMR, Musikverlag Corpete) round off his biography.
On the occasion of a master class at the SENZOKU GAKUEN University for Music in Tokyo, he was offered a visiting professorship in 1993.
Since September 1994 Uwe Komischke has been teaching as a professor for trumpet at the Liszt School of Music Weimar.
After many years of collaboration with the Aichi University of the Arts, there were several exchange visits and joint concerts. On the occasion of the RKM in Weimar, Uwe Komischke made his debut as a conductor with works by Richard Strauss (suite from Der Rosenkavalier) and a cross-section of the opera Lohengrin by Richard Wagner. He is also a visiting professor at Aichi University of the Arts.
In 2015 there was a first concert tour to China (Shanghai, Beijing and Nanjing), also with students, during which he performed both as a soloist and as a conductor a. a. worked with the Jiagsu Symphony Orchestra. A second trip to China is planned for 2017. [outdated]
