Lutz Wilhelm

Lutz Wilhelm was born on 9 June 1898 in Hannover (Germany).

In 1923, Lutz Wilhelm became a violinist in the orchestra of the Hannover Opera and became second concertmaster in 1946. He held this position until his retirement in 1963. As is common practice, the orchestra musicians also form chamber music ensembles, and Lutz Wilhelm did so as well. Together with first concertmaster Max Ladschek, violist Friedrich Roth, and cellist Hugo Köhler, he formed the "Ladschek Quartet" around 1925. In 1930, Lutz Wilhelm also formed a piano trio with Editha von Klöden and again Hugo Köhler. Since 1949, Lutz Wilhelm was conductor of the Hannoversche Orchestervereinigung.

Little is known about the work catalogue of Lutz Wilhelm. However, his operetta "Die drei Stammhalter," with a libretto by Harden and Rühl, was quite a success in 1921 and received several dozen performances. In 1931, newspapers reported on a violin concerto by Lutz Wilhelm.

Lutz Wilhelm died on 1 December 1969 in Hannover (Germany).
