“In music you will find all unanswered questions of life to be answered. It is the universal language of the soul to heal and the key to open your consciousness.”

Nicol Matt, one of Germany’s few new generation conductors enjoying international reputation, was born in 1970 in the Black Forest region of Germany. He studied Lutheran church music, conducting, vocal coaching, score playing, piano and singing at the music academies of Stuttgart, Trossingen and Strasbourg.

He is the founder and conductor of the Chamber Choir of Europe and was the conductor of the Amadeus Choir. Almost one hundred CDs with recordings of highly demanding vocal, orchestral and instrumental works document his sophistication as an artist.

As producer Nicol Matt developed and initiated many new projects for the international TV- and music industry, to support choirs and a cappella singing worldwide.

Nicol Matt has active partnerships with contemporary composers from Germany, England and the USA – including Morten Lauridsen, Robert Paterson, Bob Chilcott, John Rutter, Ola Gjeilo, Hans Schanderl and Frank Zabel.
