Philipp J. Neumann

According to his own internet presentation, Philipp J. Neumann joined the Leipzig GewandhausKinderchor at the age of six and directed his first short films and plays at the age of 15.[1] From 1999 onwards, he then staged operas by Gluck in particular or oratorios by Handel on stages in several countries, but also other musical pieces. In addition, since 1997 he has also worked on various film productions, as director, producer, cinematographer, editor or screenwriter.

In 2002, Neumann was among the co-founders of the Richard-Wagner-Gesellschaft Leipzig 2013, of which he was a member of the board until 2013.
