Dr. Dieter Rexroth
Dieter Rexroth is considered one of the most creative minds on the German music scene. From 1996 to 2001, he was the Artistic Director of the Rundfunkorchester und Chöre GmbH and the Deutsches Symphonie Orchester in Berlin, in which capacity he engaged the conductor Kent Nagano – now world-famous – whose concert programs he still designs.

Important stages of his career were the directorship of Frankfurt’s Paul Hindemith Institute and positions as dramaturge and chief programmer for the Alte Oper Frankfurt, the “Frankfurter Feste” (1986 to 1994) and the Foundation Schloss Neuhardenberg for several years. Since 2006, Dieter Rexroth has also been the Artistic Director of the “Kasseler Musiktage”.
