Tobias Bigger

Pianist Tobias Bigger was born in Germany in 1962. While still attending high school, he was granted a state financed scholarship to study piano at the Musikhochschule in Gologne with Prof Helmut Weinrebe. This was followed by further piano studies and master classes with the famed professors Karl-Heinz Kammerling (Hanover, Salzburg). Vitalij Margulis (Leningrad, Freiburg i. Br., Los Angeles). Detlef Kraus (Kssen, Hamburg) and Bernard Ringeissen (Paris).

Mr. Bigger was a prizewinner at the International Piano Competition held in Senigallia, Italy. He practiced law until 1998, at which time he chose to dedicate himself solely to activities as a concert pianist, including solo concert performaces in Germany and abroad, chamber music (duo concerts with violinists and cellists; establishing a piano trio) and accompanying vocalists.

"Thus, Tobias Bigger presents a forgotten art of metamorphosing music, an art which today finds more and more enthusiasts. And this musician from Finnentrop (Germany) is not only enthusiastically discovering music, but moreover shows a magnificent skill at the piano, a brilliant and - despite all the pleasure he takes in tonal effects - extremely cultivated approach to the music."
