Carsten Krüger

After his studies of music education, German philology, and drama at Hanover and Brunswick, Carsten Krüger began his singing studies with Harry van der Kamp and Clemens Löschmann at Bremen. The bass further complemented his training with Ralf Popken and Gerd Türk. He is member of various Early Music ensembles – the Weser-Renaissance Bremen, Cantus Thuringia, and the Huelgas-Ensemble, for example – and has been performing with the Balthasar-Neumann-Chor under the direction of Thomas Hengelbrock since 2009, and with the NDR-Rundfunkchor (as a freelance member) since 2011. Krüger has appeared at the Güldener Herbst, the Bach-Biennale Weimar, the Heinrich-Schütz-Tage Dresden, and others, as well as in Breslau with conductors Ludger Rémy and Manfred Cordes. He had his stage debut in June 2008 with a performance of Henry Purcell’s Dido and Aeneas at the Händelfestspiele Halle. Since then, he has sung in freelance opera productions at the Theater Bremen (2009) and the Liebhabertheater Großkochberg (since 2012).
