Martin Lehmann

Kreuzkantor

Since the fall of 2022, Martin Lehmann has been the 29th Kreuzkantor, making him the incumbent of one of the most prestigious posts in Protestant church music. He was a member of the Crucians himself during his childhood and youth, and later studied choral and orchestral conducting in Dresden. He gained important experience during his studies as an assistant to Hans-Christoph Rademann at the Dresden Chamber Choir. After working in Leipzig and Wuppertal, he took over the Windsbacher Knabenchor for ten years in 2012.
