Biography

German trombonist and composer. At the Eisler Hochschule für Musik in Berlin (1961-63) where he studied the trombone under Kochan. He joined the Leipzig RSO in 1964, and in 1969 he passed the state composition examination at the Leipzig Hochschule für Musik, where his examiner was Geissler. His studies were composed in Dessau’s master class at the German Academy of Arts (1973). Schenker’s music shows a pronounced propensity for experiment.

Friedrich Schenker studied trombone with Helmut Stachowiak and composition with Günter Kochan at the Hochschule für Musik “Hanns Eisler” in Berlin and perfects his education in composition since 1966 with Fritz Geissler in Leipzig and from 1973-1975 in the master class of Paul Dessau at the “Akademie der Künste der DDR” in Berlin. In 1964 he becomes solo trombonist in the Broadcast Symphony Orchestra in Leipzig. Together with the oboist Burkhard Glaetzner he founds, in 1970, the Gruppe Neue Musik ‘Hanns Eisler’.
