Maxim Conrad, clarinet

The clarinetist Maxim Conrad was born in Würzburg in 1990. He began playing his instrument at an early age and gathered first experiences in orchestra-playing with the Bavarian Youth Orchestra and, being of both German and French origin, the Young German-French Philharmonics. In the course of his work with these orchestras, he came to play concerts in – among others – France, Italy, the Czech Republic, the Munich Gasteig and the Berlin Philharmonie. After graduating from school, he prepared for his studies intensively, for instance participating in Thomas Lindhorst’s master class at the European Academy for Music and Performing Arts in Montepulciano. In 2011, he began his studies at the „Franz Liszt“ School of Music Weimar, currently continuing them at the „Hanns Eisler“ School of Music Berlin in the class of Martin Spangenberg. Since the beginning of his studies, he played with conductors such as Christian Thielemann and Marek Janowski.
