The Norddeutsche Philharmonie Rostock, led by its principal conductor Marcus Bosch, is Mecklenburg-Vorpommern’s largest orchestral ensemble with a wide-ranging history in the old Hanseatic and University city.

The orchestra received Rostock’s Culture Prize and was honoured for its concert programme with the award from the German Music Publishers Association.

Marcus Bosch took on the artistic responsibility in Rostock back in 2018 - at first as Conductor in Residence - and, by introducing new formats, he has managed to intensify the orchestra’s radiance into the city’s society, considerably developed the quality of the orchestra, and audibly broadened its repertoire.

The orchestra now presents itself with an extensive and diverse range of concerts, and also contributes towards the music theatre productions at Volkstheater Rostock.

Marcus Bosch, Principal Conductor of the Norddeutsche Philharmonie Rostock since 2020/2021 and recently honoured with the OPUS Klassik award, was Conductor in Residence, assuming the artistic responsibility of the orchestra, from August 2018 onwards. The German artist with Brazilian-Italian roots is one of the most distinguished German conductors - and in demand as a guest conductor all over the globe. Following stations in Wiesbaden, Saarbrücken, and Halle, he was GMD for ten years in the city of Aachen and GMD of the State Theatre and State Philharmonic Nuremberg for seven years, where he realised major projects such as Wagner’s “Ring Tetralogy”.

Marcus Bosch took over the artistic directorship of the Heidenheim Opera Festival in 2010.

He has shared his knowledge and experience with young conductors as professor at the University of Music and Theatre Munich since 2016. Furthermore, Marcus Bosch is Chairman of the German GMD Conference.
