The German tenor and choral conductor, Clemens Flämig, received his first musical training as a member of the Dresdner Kreuzchor (1986-1995). For his further musical education he received a Rudolf Mauersberger scholarship in 1995. From 1996 to 2003, he studied church music, singing and choral conducting at the Hochschule für Musik Freiburg; artistic training singing at the Hochschule für Musik und Darstellende Kunst Mannheim; vocal and early music at the Staatliche Hochschule für Musik Trossingen. Numerous master classes round off his musical education: with Andreas Scholl, Christoph Prégardien, Rudolf Piernay, Peter Schreier, Hans-Christoph Rademann, Simon Halsey, Kurt Widmer, Scot Weir, Mark Tucker, and James Taylor. In 2014 he took part in a further education master choir conducting course with Jörg-Peter Weigle in Berlin.
Clemens Flämig's repertoire as a singer ranges from Monteverdi's Marienvesper and J.S. Bach's Weihnachts-Oratorium (BWV 248) to Felix Mendelssohn's Elijah and contemporary Passions. In addition to his solo career, he is freelancer in various professional ensembles such as the Rundfunkchor Berlin, RIAS-Kammerchor, Dufay-Ensemble Freiburg and the Chor der J.S. Bach-Stiftung St. Gallen (Director: Rudolf Lutz) (since its foundation in 2006).
Clemens Flämig directed the Schönbergchor Freiburg, has worked as Kantor and organist at the Georgskirche Denzlingen, the Church of the Auferstehungskirche Freiburg-Littenweiler and the Evangelischen Bezirkskantorat Breisgau-Hochschwarzwald. He also worked for several years as an assistant in Freiburger Bachchor. From May 2011 to October 2014, he was vice-conductor of the Knabenkantorei Basel. In 2013 he also took over several rehearsals with the Camerata Vocale Freiburg. Since 2014 he has regularly supervised performances of the J.S. Bach-Stiftung, St. Gallen as choral assistant of Rudolf Lutz. Since November 2014, he has been the conductor of the Stadtsingechor Halle.
.
Clemens Flämig was nominated for the position of Thomaskantor of the Thomanerchor Leipzig in summer 2015. After rehearsing and performing sacred works for the motets and a J.S. Bach cantata with the boys' choir in rehearsal weeks, he was even a finalist in 2016 alongside Markus Teutschbein. Gotthold Schwarz, who had already conducted the Thomanerchor Leipzig on several occasions and had not applied for the Thomaskantorat, was, however, proposed to the Leipzig City Council on May 23, 2016 as the 17th Thomaskantor after J.S. Bach by the selection committee after the end of the selection process and was appointed to the post on August 20, 2016. |
