About the event

Benedikt Zimmer, born 2005 in Hamburg, Germany, received his first piano lessons at the age of four, wrote his first composition four years later and started playing church organ being twelve years old. He currently is studying church music at the “Hochschule für Musik und Theater, Hamburg” where he takes courses in organ, piano, improvising, conducting and voice. 

Benedikt participated in several masterclasses for young pianists and organists in Germany and abroad, held by renowned artists, including Iveta Apkalna (Organist in residence of the Elbphilharmonie Hamburg) and Hannfried Lucke, Professor for Organ at the Mozarteum Salzburg. Additionally, he attended various workshops for chamber music, where some of his compositions have been premiered. 

Benedikt took part in competitions for piano, organ and ensemble music where he was awarded with first and second prizes.

His concert activities took him through various parts of Germany and already at the age of 14 to Los Angeles, where he contributed to the Sunday Morning Recital at First Congregational Church playing the second largest church organ in the world. After the pandemic he was invited again in 2023 to perform the weekly recital.
