The German tenor and voice trainer, Robert Reichinek, obtained his Bachelor of Music in Singing and Opera from the Hochschule für Musik und Tanz in Köln (2010-2014), where he studied with Mario Hoff. He received important artistic impulses from, among others, Kai Wessel (Early Music - haute-contre = French operatic tenor voice), Christoph Prégardien and Michael Gees (Lied). Master-classes with Werner Güra and James Taylor, among others - for example during the Internationalen Bachakademie zum Musikfest Stuttgart, round off his training. He was a scholarship holder of the Tübinger Vielklang Akademie für Historische Aufführungspraxis in 2018 in Klaus Mertens' master-class. Private studies with Professor Reinhard Becker expanded his vocal and singing pedagogical training. In 2021, he was a finalist at the Concorso Internazionale di Musica Sacra Roma. He is currently working with Professor Regina Werner-Dietrich, who supports him vocally.
Robert Reichinek was able to work with conductors such as Lothar Zagrosek, Stephen Layton, Trevor Pinnock, Sir Mark Elder and Christian Curnyn early on. At the Komische Oper Berlin he was, as haute-contre, part of Barrie Kosky's production of the Rameau opera Castor & Pollux (March-July 2014) and of Rameau's Zoroastre in the production by Tobias Kratzer (April-July 2017). The Schauspielhaus Düsseldorf hired him as Ari Leschnikoff in Die Comedian Harmonists (May 2015-May2016). World premiere recordings of the Missa Te Deum (Jaap Schröder), the Cantiones sacrae Bd.2 by Melchior Vulpius and cantatas from Georg Philipp Telemann's French cantata vintage (Gutenberg Soloists & Neumeyer Consort) document his artistic work. He was also a member of ChorWerk Ruhr (January 2013-2018; Director: Florian Helgath), Vocalensemble Rastatt (Director: Holger Speck) and Les Favorites.
As a voice trainer, Robert Reichinek is a welcome guest at choir workshops, including with the Knabenchor Rheydt (since January 2016), Universitätschor der Heinrich-Heine Universität in Düsseldorf (since October 2012) and Kammerchor Ad Libitum (since May 2014). Since 2023, he teaches at Musikschule der Stadt Leverkusen. He is currently working with the Rodenkirchener Kammerchor. He currently lives in Cologne (Köln), North Rhine-Westphalia.
