Repertoire

Orchestra & Vocal Music as Conductor

Maurice Steger conducts mainly orchestral and vocal works from the Renaissance, Baroque, Classical and early Romantic eras and is constantly expanding his repertoire with forgotten or rediscovered gems of music history. It is a matter of concern to him to always work through early music in a socio-historical context, whether with modern or authentic instruments, and to perform it coherently.
