Konstantin Köppelmann (1961 - ) was born in Biberach an der Riss, Germany. He studied Protestant church music and voice at the Mozarteum in Salzburg and at the Richard Strauss Conservatory in Munich. He has been the church music director of the Immanuel church in Denning, near Munich since 1992 and works on the side as a singer and instrumentalist, especially in the area of baroque music. In 1996 he took over the musical direction of the "Neue Chorgemeinschaft Dr. Bernhard Marc e.V." in Vaterstetten, also near Munich.



Köppelmann has composed for his two choirs a series of sacred and secular works, in which he connects church modes, medieval music and modern harmonies in his own way.He has a great love and empathy for the music of the early seventeenth to late eighteenth centuries and its faithful interpretation on instruments of the period. He has composed in this style an entire series of liturgical compositions such as cantatas, masses, introits and motets. He reconstructed and carefully completed Bach's St. Mark's Passion in Bach's compositional style for several performances in the past few years, and also completed the score of Purcell's opera Dido and Aeneas.
