Moreover, he has worked as an assistant to Zoltán Peskó and Ingo Metzmacher. Till Fabian Weser’s special artistic interests are the points of intersection of early music and contemporary music as well as jazz. In his - still only starting - career he can look back on many successful concerts on a national, German, as well as an international level, such as at the International Music Festival in Lucerne, at the Rheingau Music Festival, or in the “Tonhalle” in Düsseldorf. In March of 2002 he accepted an invitation by the Jena Philharmonic Orchestra and at short notice stood in for conductor John Axelrod. With a great response from both the audiences and the press he performed works by George Gershwin, Duke Ellington, and Ralph Towner. Since 2003 Till Fabian Weser has repeatedly conducted the German Chamber Academy in Neuss and released new impulses there. He leads special ensembles such as the Big Band of the Bamberg Symphony Orchestra, the Transit Orchestra, the ensemble bach, blech & blues, and he has already worked with leading interpreters of different styles like Sabine Meyer, Wayne Marshall, Kenny Wheeler, and Markus Stockhausen. Several composers of new music and jazz have composed works for Till Fabian Weser. CD and DVD productions have been released by BERLIN CLASSICS and DENON.
