Lutz Koppetsch

Lutz Koppetsch is an internationally acclaimed Saxophon soloist and professor at the "Hochschule für Musik Würzburg"

Lutz Koppetsch was born in the German town of Aachen in 1976 and grew up in Krefeld. His mother, Ursula Koppetsch-Blackert, provided a musical environment, playing classical guitar and the piano herself. Lutz showed early talent for music as he would sing around the house at a very young age. So his mother decided he should attend music lessons.
Forced to choose between xylophone and recorder, he opted immediately for the woodwind instrument. He was however not happy with the instrument. Inspired by a neighbor, he took up the clarinet. 
When he finally met his teacher, the Hungarian saxophonist Laszlo Dömötör, he soon knew where his heart lay...
