GERD HERMANN ORTLER – BIOGRAPHY
Gerd Hermann Ortler was born in 1983 in South Tyrol (Italy).
He studied saxophone at the "Konservatorium Wien Private University" and jazz composition at the "University of Music and Dramatic Arts Graz" with Ed Partyka. He also received composition lessons from Bob Brookmeyer.

Ortler is a lecturer of composition and arrangement at the "University for Music and Performing Arts Vienna.
Gerd Hermann Ortler is the founder and conductor of the GHO Orchestra, which performs his compositions and consists of musicians from the international jazz scene, as well as musicians from major classical orchestras. The debut album "Hermannology" was released in 2011. Furthermore, in 2011 the GHO Orchestra was the stage band of the Viennese "Jazz & Music Club Porgy & Bess".
In his compositions Ortler especially focuses on the development and processing of images and textures, which he sets via a cross-genre musical language into a narrative context, in order to break up sector-specific associations and expectations, and to bring elements of contemporary music and jazz together.
Gerd Hermann Ortler is a two times winner of the "Down Beat Student Music Awards" awarded by the U.S. Downbeat Magazine (2010 Winner/2012 Outstanding Performance). In 2010 he was the only European musician to receive this prize.
