Kay Johannsen
Kay Johannsen studied in Freiburg and Boston through scholarships awarded to him by the Studienstiftung des deutschen Volkes and the Bruno Walter Memorial Foundation, New York. Since 1994 he has been the choirmaster and organist at the Stiftskirche of Stuttgart, where he founded the Stuttgarter Kantorei and Ensemble 94. He also founded the solistenensemble stimmkunst in 2003. He has won a number of prizes at national and international organ competitions, but winning first prize at the Deutscher Musikwettbewerb in 1988 was decisive for his career. Since then, in addition to broadcast recordings, he has recorded numerous CDs, many of which have received awards. These include works by Bach, Boëly, Brahms, Mendelssohn, Liszt, Franck, Reger, Widor, and Förtig. Kay Johannsen has performed as an organist at festivals in Europe, Asia, South America, South Africa and the USA. As a continuo player he has performed with the Berlin Philharmonic under Claudio Abbado, the Vienna Philharmonic under Trevor Pinnock, or with Berliner Barocksolisten.
