Jakob Kleinschrot

The tenor Jakob Kleinschrot was born in Würzburg in 1995 and received his first musical training there with the Domsingknaben. In 2020, he completed a degree in school music at the Hochschule für Musik there, specialising in piano, singing and ensemble work, while gaining his first stage experience at the opera school. Alongside his studies, he acted as musical assistant to the cathedral conductor for four years until he decided to deepen his vocal training with Prof. Konrad Jarnot in Düsseldorf. Here he appeared as Rodolfo in Puccini's »La bohème« at the Musikhochschule in spring 2022. Since September 2022 he has been a member of the Opera Studio Niederrhein in Krefeld and Mönchengladbach. An important part of his work is with his vocal ensemble »buffoni«, for which he is also active as a composer and arranger. He is a recipient of the Deutschlandstipendium and a scholarship holder of the Richard Wagner Association Düsseldorf.
