Susanne Rohn

Born in Waldshut am Hochrhein, Susanne Rohn studied protestant church music in Freiburg im Breisgau, as well as organ and cembalo as a scholar of the Deutscher Akademischer Austauschdienst in Toulouse. She completed her additional diplomas in organ playing with Guy Bovet and in conducting with Hans Michael Beuerle and Peter Gülke in Freiburg with distinction.Since 1997, Susanne Rohn has been cantor at the Erlösergemeinde in Bad Homburg. The church has three valuable instruments (an historic Sauer organ from 1908, a Bach organ by Gerald Woehl from 1990 and a positive by Bernhard Fleig from 2008) and two choirs (the Bachchor with 125, and the chamber choir with 40 singers), enabling her to put together a rich and demanding series of musical concerts which finds great acclaim far afield and outside the city’s walls.Susanne Rohn successfully competed in national and international organ competitions (first prize in Toulouse, third prize in Calgary, finalist in Paris, winner of the Zonta-Stiftung prize at the Deutscher Musikwettbewerb). She regularly gives concerts at the organ.Between 2006 and 2009, she held the post as professor of choral direction at the Robert-Schumann Hochschule in Düsseldorf. In 2010, she took on the temporary professorship for conducting at the Musikhochschule Freiburg. As an organist, conductor and singer, Rohn has recorded numerous CDs and radio productions for the Swiss radio DRS, the Südwestrundfunk and the Hessische Rundfunk.
