SOUND * LIFE * RHYTHM * ART

Juergen Groezinger is a Berlin-based musician, composer, curator, dee jay and sound innovator whose work fuses classical percussion, contemporary music, and immersive sonic worlds. He has curated and performed projects for leading institutions, including the Bauhaus Museum Dessau, Staatsgalerie Stuttgart, and more. As portrait artist in residence at Heidenheim Opera Festival (Zeitgenossen), he showcased his multidisciplinary approach. Recent highlights include the acclaimed ballet score Infinite Beauty (for choir and percussion) at Theater Trier, as well as a celebrated program of 20th-century percussion works at Hamburger Bahnhof, Berlin’s museum for contemporary art.

For several years, Juergen served as solo timpanist with the Orchestra Internazionale d’Italia and continues in this role with the Deutsche Kammerakademie Neuss. He is regularly invited to perform Ravel’s iconic drum solo in Boléro at the Berliner Philharmonie and has appeared with major orchestras such as the Staatsoper in Munich, Stuttgart, and Hanover, and with leading contemporary ensembles including Klangforum Wien, Ensemble Mosaik Berlin, Ensemblekollektiv Berlin, and Ensemble United Berlin.

His festival credits span the Berliner Festspiele, MaerzMusik, Wien Modern, Ultima Oslo, Klangspuren Schwaz, Spaziomusica Cagliari, ArteScienza Roma, Ravenna Festival, and beyond.

As a dee jay  (formerly “Jueri Gagarino”), Juergen crafts “Listening Lounges” that dissolve genre boundaries—merging classical and avant-garde with electronica, jazz, and soul. He has played at iconic Berlin venues like Berghain and Watergate, contributed to projects such as Yellow Lounge and Rundfunkchorlounge Berlin, and hosts his distinctive radio DJ show on WDR’s Klassik-Klub, where he curates innovative musical dialogues from early baroque to the cutting-edge.

Juergen is founder and artistic director of the European Music Project, a forward-thinking ensemble exploring the nexus of contemporary music, improvisation, performance, and club culture. As artistic director of the KlangHaus Festival in Ulm, he creates boundary-expanding sonic experiences that invite audiences into new realms of perception and exchange.
