Andreas Peer K\u00e4hler studied conducting and composition at the\u00a0Berlin University of Arts (UdK Berlin) and as a DAAD scholarship holder in Sweden and Finland with Jorma Panula and Eric Ericsson.\u00a0His encounter with Sergiu Celibidache whose courses on conducting and lectures on musical phenomenology he attended greatly influenced his artistic career. Ever since his student days, Andreas Peer K\u00e4hler has been actively engaged \u2013 on an independent basis \u2013 in a wide range of activities as a conductor, composer, concert presenter and music teacher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In 1980 he founded the \u2018\u2019Deutsch-Skandinavische Jugend-Philharmonie and he remains its artistic director to this day. He has performed many of the most important pieces of the Nordic orchestral repertoire with the orchestra, including several world or German premieres. Andreas Peer K\u00e4hler is particularly noted for the repertoire he has devised and developed specifically for children, young people and their families. With the \u2018\u2019Kammerorchester Unter den Linden\u2019\u2019, a chamber orchestra founded in 1990, he created two series of family concerts: \u2018\u2019Tiere, Tango und Trompeten\u2019\u2019 (Animals, Tango and Trumpets, performed in the Chamber Music Hall of the Berliner Philharmonie) and \u2018\u2019Familienkonzerte in Dahlem\u2019\u2019 (family concerts in Berlin-Dahlem). Performances as a guest artist have taken him to Sweden, Finland, Norway, France, Poland, Lithuania, Switzerland, Iceland, Mexico and Australia. The music of Arvo P\u00e4rt \u2013 an esteemed collaborator and, indeed, friend for many years \u2013 is central to his work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Andreas Peer K\u00e4hler also works for the Deutsche Oper Berlin as a freelance music teacher. He is primarily involved with the youth project \u2018\u2019Klassik is\u2019 cool!\u2019\u2019 (Classical Music is Cool), and also narrates and\/or acts in other youth programmes of his own creation. During these highly appreciated concerts he guides his young audiences through the various pieces by explaining both the music and the stories behind the pieces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
