Heinz-Otto Groh: Diabelli-Contest 2016

Heinz-Otto Groh Born in Neuwied, Germany on 10/31/1951. After school, training and 43 years of professional practice in the metalworking
industry (in senior positions) I turned to choral singing.
In order to further develop musically I acquired
a choir director diploma from the German Singers Association of Rhineland-Palatinate; a second diploma for evangelical church choirs with
"KMD[church music director]Thomas Schmidt" (program leader for evangelical church music at the Academy of Music and Dance - Cologne).
Through self-study I gained knowledge in the theory of composition and theory of harmony. My compositions are spiritual works such as requiems, Latin masses, songs, etc.
