COMPOSER
Christian Kabitz
made his first experiences with rock music after studying conductor with his German version of JESUS CHRIST
SUPERSTAR. During his time in Munich, where he was the cantor of the Christuskirche, he founded the Bach College,
among other things. In addition to several other experiments with the fusion of classical and rock instruments, he was
a co-author of the ROCK REQUIEM. Until 2015 Kabitz was church music director in Würzburg and has increasingly made
a name for himself as a director in recent years. Since 199 he has been artistic director of the summer opera at the Dr.
Bürklin-Wolf, Wachenheim. In 2004 he received the cultural award of the city of Würzburg and in 2008 became the
artistic director of the Mozart Festival in Würzburg.
Martin Schuster
Flötist, Flutist, composer and producer has been musically active in various areas for many years: productions with
wellknown Latin rock and fusion musicians, meditative jazz, fi lm music, radio and studio work (including with Wolfgang
Lackerschmid, Jolly Kunjappu, Roykey Whyd, Christian Stock) and the Collaboration with G. Pauli and C. Kabitz at ROCK
REQUIEM document his multifaceted commitment to cross-border projects.
