From 1992 to 1999 he worked as the cantor in Minden, where he also directed the music school for choristers. From 1999 he has been the Cathedral-Cantor at the Braunschweig Cathedral and the director of the cathedral school for choristers. He is the initiator and artistic director of a successful school project throughout Germany encouraging youngsters to sing.

Chor zu dritt with its three-part settings is aimed at the large number of choirs which cannot do full justice to the mainly four-part choral literature with divoded male voices. In Vol. 5, O little Town of Bethlehem, the singers can look forward to many national and international Advent songs and Christmas carols - and to successful concerts in the Christmas season, even with only one male voice! / Choeur Mixte (SABar) A Cappella
