"Play a note, but only if you have the feeling that it is worth breaking the silence"
(L. Sáry)

Making music is the best way for me to interact with other people (fellow players, listeners or students). The main thing is to be expressive, whether it's Mozart or contemporary music!

Gundolf Semrau was born in Mölln in 1954. He won several awards in his early youth and received his pianistic and pedagogical training at the Folkwang Hochschule in Essen under Prof Klaus Hellwig and at the Cologne University of Music under Prof Günter Ludwig. After completing his studies and civilian service, he complemented his training by attending numerous masterclasses and seminars with K.H.Kämmerling, L.Brumberg (Vienna), G.Agosti (Siena), K.Engel, V.Margulis (Hamburg), K.Hellwig (Berlin) and at the artistic summer university in Esztergom (Hungary), among others.
He is known for his special concerts and as the initiator and organiser of numerous festivals, concerts and educational projects - such as "Songs from Hair", 2010 in the Wilhelmshaven City Theatre as a joint project of the music house Villa Lug ins Land and the music schools of the city of Wilhelmshaven and Friesland - Wittmund.
Some of his pupils have won prizes in the "Jugend musiziert" competition at regional and state level, and some of them now work as musicians and music teachers themselves.
Gundolf Semrau is a piano teacher at the Friesland - Wittmund music school.
He is also committed to the almost forgotten Hooksiel composer Ludwig Meinardus.
