Biography
Paul Lorenz works as a composer, conductor, and producer while serving as founder of Lorenz Music. His output spans multiple styles, encompassing pop songs alongside choral and orchestral compositions, musical theater pieces, and film scores.
Born in 1969 in Brixlegg within Austria’s Tyrol region, Lorenz completed secondary studies at a music-focused high school in Innsbruck before advancing to the Innsbruck Conservatory for training in composition, piano, and violin. He established Lorenz Music in 1996, an enterprise that operates a record label, a recording studio, and the publishing imprint Lorenz Edition. Hundreds of his songs appear on recordings that have achieved gold or platinum certification, and he has supplied scores for television, advertising, and cinema while frequently leading performances of his choral and orchestral works. In 2013 he assumed the role of artistic director for Ensemble Zeitlos, the choir and orchestra affiliated with the Mariathal Basilica. The next year he conducted the premiere of his Missa Basilika, scored for choir, soloists, and orchestra to mark the fifth anniversary of the church’s designation as a basilica. Beginning in 2015, Lorenz inaugurated the annual series of “Night of Basilika” concerts.
In 2021 he released the album Recomposed by Paul Lorenz, which presents cellist Lidia Alonso performing his reworking of Bach’s Cello Suite No. 1; that same year he also initiated recording sessions for his musical Queen of the Night.
