Antonius Adamske

Antonius Adamske is a German conductor and musicologist born in 1992 in Bassum, Germany. He studied conducting at the Hochschule für Musik, Theater und Medien Hannover and historical organ at the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis in Basel. Adamske has a strong focus on Baroque and early music, and he has worked closely with the Göttinger Barockorchester, leading notable performances and recordings, including a complete recording of Bach’s cantatas for bass solo with bass-baritone Henryk Böhm. He has also directed ensembles such as the Monteverdi-Chor Hamburg and consortium vocale berlin, and since 2020 he serves as the artistic director of the Bremer RathsChor. Beyond conducting, Adamske has contributed to musicology through historic performance practice and has promoted forgotten works, often giving German premieres of rare compositions. He currently lives in Basel, Switzerland.

Adamske’s work includes conducting operas, sacred music, and oratorios, and he has been involved in innovative projects like the Nikolausberger Musiktage festival. With a reputation for historically informed interpretation, he also shares his expertise through masterclasses internationally. His discography features recordings of works by composers such as Reinhard Keiser and Christian Selle, reflecting his scholarly and practical engagement with Baroque repertoire. Adamske’s approach balances respect for historical context with vibrant, accessible performances that bring early music to contemporary audiences.
