Biography
Thomas Fey, born November 9, 1960, in Germany, was a German conductor and pianist who studied at the Staatliche Hochschule für Musik und Darstellende Kunst Mannheim. He received further conducting training under Nikolaus Harnoncourt and Leonard Bernstein. While still a student, he founded the Schlierbacher Motettenchor (1985) and the Schlierbacher Kammerorchester (1987), from which the Heidelberger Motettenchor and the Heidelberger Sinfoniker emerged in 1993. The conductor led these ensembles across Europe and the Americas, focusing on Baroque, Classical, and early German Romantic works, with notable guest soloists including Rudolf Buchbinder and Nelson Freire. In 1991, he initiated an annual festival with the Heidelberger Sinfoniker, starting with the Heidelberger Mozartwochen and expanding to La Passione in 2003. He also founded the Mannheimer Mozartorchester in 2003, which made its stage debut on January 27, 2006, to mark Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's 250th birthday. His recordings, released through Hänssler Verlag, included works by Joseph Haydn, Mozart, Ludwig van Beethoven, and Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy, earning nominations for the Cannes Classical Award in 2003 and a Grammy Award in 2010. Following a severe accident in 2014, the musician retired from his activities and died on June 24, 2026.
