Born on February 13th, 1949 and his father, Josef Wolfgang Ziegler, a well-known Austrian composer and choral director taught the first musical steps to him. Singing and playing the violin became his passions. After finishing high school and pedagogical studies he worked as an assistant in music education at the University of Illinois/ USA. There he started composing electronic music with Joe Patroni and John Cage. As a professional interlude he joined the Vienna Johann Strauss Orchestra playing violin on a concert tour through Canada and USA. Back in Austria he became choral director of the VOX HUMANA CHAMBER CHOIR, which he is still conducting today. Lots of special studies followed with Prof. Erwin Ortner, Prof. Herwig Reiterat the Music University in Vienna and with Eric Ericson. After he had joined the professional Austrian Radio Choir (ORF-Chor) for some years he focused on conducting and composing choral music. A number of international concert tours to Germany, Italy, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Belgium, Hungary, Sweden and Japan completed his musical work. Wolfgang Ziegler was honoured by quite a number of national and international awards. The European Music Festival for the Youth in Belgium appointed him “Ambassador of the Festival.” In 2008 he founded CONCENTUS NOVUS, a large non-professional concert choir who had its first successful appearance with Brahms’ German Requiem in Vienna and the professional VIENNA SYMPHONIC LIBRARY CHORUS.
