Tobias Holzmann
Viola, Chamber Orchestra, Chamber Music

Tobias Holzmann studied viola, chamber music and cultural management in Frankfurt am Main, Mannheim, Brisbane (Australia) and Toulouse (France). After numerous stations in German cultural orchestras as an orchestral musician (including Stuttgarter Philharmoniker, Staatsorchester Darmstadt, Museumsorchester Frankfurt) and as a teacher at German music schools, he now lives with his wife and three children in Toulouse, where he works as a teacher and chamber musician in the Quatuor Alizé, is active as an orchestral musician (Orchestre National du Capitole de Toulouse, Orchestre National de Montpellier, Orchestre de Chambre de Toulouse) and as a cultural manager (Toulouse International Organ Festival, Toulouse Symphony Orchestra).

His favourite activity is music education for young and old and for those who are not used to it or are no longer able to attend classical music concerts. Tobias Holzmann has been a member of the IMC Oberwesel team for over ten years now. In the program selection for the chamber orchestra, he places great value on the mixture of known and unknown repertoire, be it new music or works that have fallen into oblivion.

He enjoys coaching chamber music ensembles from duo to sextet or octet. With expert advice and great experience he helps the participants of the IMC to rehearse chamber music compositions in such a way that they delight every listener in the final concerts.
