Life

edit

Born in Siegen, Stötzel studied church music at the Frankfurt University of Music and Performing Arts and passed the A-Examination there. This was followed by postgraduate studies in the master classes of Edgar Krapp and Helmuth Rilling with a final organ concert exam and choral conducting diploma.[1][2][3]

Since 1973, Stötzel has formed the Bach-Chor Siegen [de], which counts up to about 120 singers and has released more than a dozen classical concept albums as well as complete recordings. Due to his special merits, he was awarded the title of Kirchenmusikdirektor of the Evangelische Kirche von Westfalen.[4][5]

Stötzel has been retired since summer 2019.
