Martin Schicketanz

Baritone Martin Schicketanz studied in the lieder and concert class at the Hochschule für Musik Dresden with Christiane Junghanns and Olaf Bär. As a sought-after soloist, he works with renowned ensembles such as the Collegium 1704, the Rheinische Kantorei, the Collegium Marianum, the Wrocław Baroque Orchestra, Ensemble Inégal, and the Bachakademie Stuttgart as well as touring all over Europe (including Gstaad Menuhin Festival, BOZAR Festival, Bachwoche Ansbach, Resonanzen Wien, Musikfest Stuttgart, Early Music Festival Stockholm, Gewandhaus Leipzig). He shares a close collaboration with Hans-Christoph Rademann. Thus, he is participating in the complete recording of Heinrich Schütz and regularly takes on other bass parts. At the Bachfest Leipzig 2019, he sang the bass part under Hermann Max in the first performance for almost 300 years of Stölzl’s passion ”Ein Lämmlein geht und trägt die Schuld”, soon available on CD by CPO. As baritone of the Praguian ensemble Cappella Mariana he also dedicates himself to Renaissance polyphony.
