Jörg studied conducting with Sergiu Celibidache, Constantin Bugeanu and Jorma Panula. Further important impulses he received through the conducting school of Viennese legend Hans Swarowsky. He also studied Viola with Berta Volmer and Reiner Schmidt.

For years he has been dedicated to advancing and supporting young colleagues and musicians, be it as an Artistic Director of EMIV or before as Vice Artistic Director  of Wiener Meisterkurse.

Besides the symphonic standard repertoire, his passion and dedication belongs to the symphonic œuvre from Haydn to the 20th century and the operas of Mozart.

Jörg is also constantly seeking after re-discovering orchestral and opera masterworks of composers being lost or forgotten through the turmoil of the first half of the 20th century, such as Egon Wellesz, whose 1st symphony he conducted as American firts-performance in 2018, as well as Ernst Krenek, Edmund von Borck, Erwin Schulhoff and Rudi Stephan.

As a sought-after conducting teacher he has recently published his fundamental study "The Observation of Form" with academia.edu and has held master courses in conducting at Wiener Meisterkurse as well as in Germany, Hungary, Italy and México. From 2013 to 2018 he was Guest Professor for conducting at ARTS2, École supérieure des Arts de la Fédération Wallonie-Bruxelles in Mons, Belgium.

WienSinfonietta is committed to perform master pieces by linking unusual repertoire from Haydn to the present time. Thus we begin at the time when Viennese music became Viennese Classics – and here primarily with the rich symphonic oeuvres of Joseph Haydn and W. A. Mozart.

Another focus of our work begins with Viennese Modernism and its traces, some of which have been lost in the 20th century in the European world catastrophes – or elsewhere in history. Some of them reappear, some remain lost to the present day, in which WienSinfonietta seeks to re-discover all these artistic movements and take them up.
