Volkmar Zimmermann studied guitar at Hochschule für Musik und Darstellende Kunst in Frankfurt am Main and at The Royal Academy of Music in Copenhagen, where he graduated with concert-diploma in 1988. He has performed throughout Europe, Russia and North America both as a soloist and in collaboration with numerous classical and contemporary ensembles. Volkmar Zimmermann has appeared on several recordings since his album-debut with German contemporary jazz-rock band PSI in 1977 (Horizonte). He is a founding member of the Corona Guitar Kvartet, the Gantriis-Zimmermann Guitar Duo and the Estonian/Danish group Five Seasons around guitarist/composer Robert Jürjendal. In his guitar playing, Volkmar Zimmermann embodies as well as expresses the essence of aesthetics, whether in classical canonized works by heritage-composers, or in contemporary works written especially for him or his ensembles. http://volkmarzimmermann.com
