With his Männerchorvereinigung and the brass ensemble of the Anton Bruckner Private University in Linz, Thomas Kerbl presents the second edition of secular men’s choirs. Bruckner’s own choir experience as a bass and his activity as a musical director formed the basis for a vast number of choir works, in which the large quantity of secular works displays a hitherto hardly known facet in Bruckner’s oeuvre, as he was frequently reduced to his function as a church musician. Trained as a pianist in Linz, Thomas Kerbl has been dean of artistic studies at the Bruckner University since 2009.
