CV
Jörg Halubek (1977-) studied organ, harpsichord, conducting and musicology in Stuttgart,
Freiburg and Basel with Jon Laukvik, Robert Hill, Jesper Christensen and Andrea Marcon.
In 2004, Halubek won first prize at the XIV. International Johann Sebastian Bach Competition in
Leipzig in the category of organ. This was followed by numerous invitations to concertize at
international festivals, among them the Bach festivals in Leipzig, Salzburg, Ansbach and
Yekaterinburg. He played Bach’s entire organ works on fourteen consecutive Sundays in Stuttgart
in early 2007. As soloist, he has concertized with the Venice Baroque Orchestra, the St.
Petersburg Philharmonic Orchestra and the Staatsorchester Stuttgart. In June of 2007, on a tour
through Japan and Korea with the Stuttgart Chamber Orchestra, Halubek debuted to a sold-out
concert hall at the Seoul Arts Center with Bach’s Harpsichord Concerto in D Minor. Since 2012
three organ concert tours have taken him to the philharmonic halls and churches of major Russian
cities such as Perm, Ufa, Khabarovsk and Moscow.
Upon founding the Stuttgart Baroque Orchestra il Gusto Barocco in 2008, Halubek began working
as the ensemble director and conductor. One emphasis is music theatre, hearing known works
with new ears and discovering forgotten compositions. Halubek assumed the musical assistance
of a co-production of the Staatsoper Stuttgart and the Salzburg Festival (Antonio Vivaldi’s Juditha
triumphans). Following that, he conducted 11 performances of the production at Stuttgart’s
Schauspielhaus. He was engaged as a Baroque conductor at the Staatstheater Kassel (Scarlatti:
Griselda, Vivaldi: L’Olimpiade, Händel: Saul, Gluck: Iphigenie, Vinci: L´Artaserse), at the Oldenburg
State Theatre (Händel: Hercules and Serse) and at the Wuppertal Stages (Bach: St John Passion).
The upcoming season brings a premiere of Handel’s Agrippina (Oldenburg State Theatre), a
premiere of Los Elementos of the Spanish composer de Litteres (Musiktage Kassel) and the
premiere of Antigona by Tomaso Traetta (Staatstheater Kassel). With Il Ritorno d´Ulisse in Patria a
cycle of Monteverdi operas will start in March 2017 at the National Theater Mannheim.
After a CD production of great Bach organ works on the Silbermann organ in Rötha (2006),
Halubek played the entire body of works for harpsichord and organ by Bernardo Storace (born in
Venice in 1664) for the SWR on two preserved original Italian instruments (CD published on the
CPO label 2008). World premieres of two unknown baroque operas could be realized with il Gusto
Barocco, Brescianello’s Tisbe and Heinichen’s Flavio (SWR/cpo). In the meantime he has produced
one recording with the well known counter-tenor Franco Fagioli, and several recordings with the
Baroque violinist Leila Schayegh. The most recent CD with Sonatas for harpsichord obligato and
violin by J.S. Bach received a Diapason d’Or and the Editor´s Choice.
After having taught at the State Universities of Music in Stuttgart, Trossingen, Karlsruhe and Linz
(Austria), he was appointed Professor of Organ and Historical Keyboard Instruments at the State
University of Music and Performing Arts in Stuttgart in 2016.
