Georg Poplutz
Born in Arnsberg, Westfalia, tenor Georg Poplutz obtained a degree in education, which was followed by vocal studies in Frankfurt and Cologne with Berthold Possemeyer and Christoph Prégardien. Since 2010, he has also been working with Carol Meyer- Bruetting. Poplutz is well known for his “expressive and sensitive interpretations” and has appeared at important festivals as well as in churches and concert halls, both in Germany and abroad. He has recorded many broadcasts and has amassed around 100 CD and DVD recordings. Among the latter are several cantatas for the J. S. Bach Stiftung in St. Gallen with Rudolf Lutz. Poplutz has also recorded many works for the Heinrich Schutz Complete Edition with Hans-Christoph Rademann, which received an Opus Klassik award in 2020.

Poplutz is much in demand as an ensemble singer, and has sung in the Johann Rosenmüller Ensemble with Arno Paduch as well as in Konrad Junghänel’s Cantus Cölln. Poplutz has also performed a broad song repertoire for many years with his regular piano partner Hilko Dumno as well as his organ partner Jürgen Banholtzer and his guitar partners Antje Asendorf & Stefan Hladek. Some of these performances have been recorded.
