Biography: Thorsten A. Pech, born in Wuppertal in 1960, maintains an active concert schedule both in Germany and abroad as an organist and conductor. In addition to his studies in Wuppertal and Vienna, international concert tours have taken him to China, Japan, Russia, Poland, and many European countries. Numerous CD recordings, compositions – primarily for trumpet and organ – and the publication of forgotten organ works document his artistic output. From 1989 to 2021, he directed the Düsseldorf Bach Society and until 2025, the Wuppertal Concert Choir. In 1998, he was appointed "Music Director" by the Association of German Professional Choral Conductors, and in 2016 he received the Enno and Christa Springmann Foundation Prize.
