指揮者：Horst Sohm
HORST SOHM, Born in Mohringen in the Danube Valley (Germany) Horst Sohm began his piano, organ and guitar studies at a very young age.
During his conducting studies at the Trossingen University-Conservatory (Musikochschule), which in addition to the music theory disciplines encompassed classical guitar and oboe, Sohm also performed both as soloist and as a member of the Chamber Ensemble Freiburg.
Even while still a student Sohm was already receiving invitations to perform abroad, and during a tour of Spain, in Cadaques, he played for Salvador Dali, who enthusiastically said of his playing "Sohm not only plays, he paints with his music." Pursuing his studies in Paris, Sohm received his 'premier prix' from the Paris Conservatory in 1979, quickly gaining international recognition as a versatile musician and virtuoso guitarist. Building on his collaboration with many fine chamber and symphonic orchestras, Sohm found his place on the podium, becoming more and more sought after as a conductor. Initially conducting orchestras mostly in Europe, in addition to more than twenty European countries, his tours have since taken him to America, Argentina, Chile, Ecuador, and Columbia. Acclaimed by audiences and critics alike, Sohm has had the honour to conduct at famous International Festivals: Hamburg, Berlin, Paris, Innsbruck, Grec-Barcelona, Santander Festival, Palencia, Cadiz, Santiago de Compostela, Schleswig-Holstein Festival, and Bratislava to name just a few.
In 1990, after a concert in the European Parliament, Sohm was named 'Member of Honour' of the European council in Strasbourg.
For the arrival of the Olympic Flame in Ampurias (St. Martin d'Empuries Catalunya/Spain), opening the 1992 Barcelona Olympic Games, he premiered the works 'Concerto Empuries' by the composer E. Rincon, dedicated to him. On behalf of the Jeuneusse Musicale, JM Spain, he also gave a number of concerts for young people in Spain.
