Born in Graz, Markus Schirmer studied with Rudolf Kehrer, Karl-Heinz

He adores Schubert above all but is also enthusiastic about more obscure
works such as Britten's ironic piano concerto, the transcendental oeuvres of
Szymanowski or Apostel's „Kubiniana“. Chamber music plays a very important role
in his work and so he has performed with Julian Rachlin, Renaud Capuзon, Clemens
Hagen, Christian Altenburger, Danjulo Ishizaka, Patrick Demenga, the Artis
Quartet, the Auryn Quartet, the Chilingirian quartet, the Gaede Trio and many
others.
Through the years Markus Schirmer has written many songs, e.g. for Sandra
Pires (a Portuguese-Australian singer living in Vienna) and many other
vocalists. Furthermore he has worked on a number of artistic projects, for
example Scurdia, a crossover partnership with the Kurdish lutist Risgar Koshnaw
and other exceptional artists from all over the world, which was initialized in
1988.
Schirmer is a professor at the University of Music and
Performing Arts Graz where he has been teaching concert piano students
from Austria, Greece, Finland, Italy and Japan.
Markus Schirmer is often invited to adjudicate in many international piano
competitions and to give master classes all over the world. He has become very
committed to Live Music Now, a charitable scheme that was founded by Lord Yehudi
Menuhin to support gifted musicians.
Schirmer was awarded the “Music Manual Award“ at the international Music
Convention EUROMUSIC. In addition he was recently granted the Karl-Bohm-Interpretationspreis, an award for Austrian
artists.
