Hansjörg Albrecht is one of the few artists who are regularly present internationally both as a conductor and as a concert organist. As a conductor, he is internationally recognized above all as a passionate specialist for Bach and the opulent music of the 18th century, but as an all-round musician he consistently goes his own way - between archive and new creation, with an extensive repertoire ranging from Bruckner, Wagner, Mahler and Strauss to Olivier Messiaen, numerous world premieres and a penchant for forgotten composers such as the Bach sons, Hans Rott, Walter Braunfels and Mieczysław Weinberg. With his organ transcriptions, he established himself as a specialist among the virtuosos of his instrument. Albrecht succeeded the legendary Karl Richter as conductor of the Munich Bach Choir and the Munich Bach Orchestra from 2005 to 2023 and led the ensemble to new international fame with an extensive concert schedule. In addition, Albrecht was Principal Guest Conductor at the Teatro Petruzzelli Bari from 2021-2023.

Since the 2023/24 season, he has been Artistic Director of the CPE Bach Academy Hamburg as well as the choir of the same name and an annual Bach Festival and is working - in cooperation with the Bach Archive Leipzig - on establishing Hamburg as an International Bach City and building a new platform for the Sturm und Drang music of Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach and his brothers. He has also worked for many years with the San Carlo Opera House in Naples, the Russian Chamber Orchestra in Moscow, the Staatskapelle Weimar and the Hamburg and Munich Symphony Orchestras.

His concert activities have taken him to music centers such as London, Paris, Vienna, Berlin, Rome, Moscow, Tokyo, Beijing and New York, where he regularly works with internationally renowned artists and orchestras - currently including Jan Vogler, Christian Gerhaher, Michael Volle, Sergei Nakarjakov, Reinhold Friedrich, Lucas & Arthur Jussen, Mikhail Pletnev and Andrea Lucchesini, orchestras such as the Bremen Philharmonic Orchestra, the Staatskapelle Halle, the Nuremberg Symphony Orchestra, the Hangzhou and Suzhou Philharmonic Orchestra, the Orchestra della Fondazione Arena di Verona, the Dresdner Kapellsolisten and original sound ensembles such as the Akademie für Alte Musik Berlin, Concerto Köln, NDR Barock, the Dresdner Festspielorchester, the Händelfestspielorchester Halle and the Lautten Compagney Berlin.

Albrecht has conducted prestigious Mozart opera productions at the Teatro San Carlo Naples and the new Dubai Opera House, among others, as well as ballet projects with the dance companies of Marguerite Donlon and Boris Eifman.

In addition to a premiere performance of the reconstruction of a missing St. Luke Passion by J.S. Bach in Hamburg, which was advertised by German television (ARD) and broadcast by Norddeutscher Rundfunk (NDR) in 2024, he has been invited to conduct and perform as a soloist in numerous concerts in Germany, Switzerland, Austria, France, Croatia, Scandinavia, many times in China and on a European tour with the NCPA Orchestra Beijing under the direction of Myung Whun Chung.

Hansjörg Albrecht is a member of the board of directors of the Neue Bach-Gesellschaft Leipzig. He is also Artistic Director of the International Online Organ Festival (IOOF), which will be held worldwide for the first time in 2022 under the patronage of UNESCO, and the 99th Bach Festival of the Neue Bach-Gesellschaft 2025 in Munich.

He has released well over 30 CDs as a conductor and organist on the Oehms Classics label and has been nominated for the GRAMMY Award, among others. In 2024, Albrecht completed the world's first complete production of all Bruckner symphonies as organ transcriptions with the recording of Anton Bruckner's early study symphony in Paris, which he has recorded for the OehmsClassics label since 2020 at original European venues such as St. Florian, Linz, Vienna, Munich, Leipzig, Lucerne, Zurich and London. He was subsequently named one of the leading Bruckner interpreters by the classical music magazine Crescendo (annual edition 2024).
