Life and career
Vogt was born in
He was a dedicated chamber musician, focused on the repertoire of music from the classical period and the romantic era. He also collaborated with composers such as Volker David Kirchner, Thomas Larcher, Kryštof Mařatka and Erkki-Sven Tüür.[10] He founded the festival Spannungen for chamber music in Heimbach (Eifel) in the hydro-electric power plant Kraftwerk Heimbach in 1998.[4][6] Many of the concerts with friends were recorded live. Reviewer Jan Brachmann from the FAZ noted that Dvořák's Dumky Trio was played by violinist Christian Tetzlaff, cellist Tanja Tetzlaff and Vogt, as if the players took time for sinking together into moods ("für das gemeinsame Versinken in Stimmungen").[8] Vogt gave his last concert there, playing on 26 June 2022 with Christian Tetzlaff, Barbara Buntrock and Tanja Tetzlaff[11] the Piano Quartet No. 3 by Johannes Brahms.[12]
Vogt founded the initiative Rhapsody in School , a network of classical musicians who play in school lessons to provide children a personal close meeting with musicians and their music.[8]
After Kämmerling's death in 2012, he succeeded him as professor of piano at the Musikhochschule Hannover.[6][13]
Conductor
In May 2014, the Royal Northern Sinfonia announced the appointment of Vogt as its next music director, his first post as a conductor, effective September 2015.[14][15][16] Vogt served as music director until 2020,[17] and had the title of Principal Artistic Partner with the orchestra.[5] In October 2019, the Orchestre de chambre de Paris (OCP) announced the appointment of Vogt as its new music director, effective with the 2020–2021 season, with an initial contract of 3 years.[18] In December 2021, the OCP announced an extension of Vogt's contract through June 2025.[19] He held the OCP post until his death.[6]
Private life
Vogt was first married to the Russian composer Tatjana Komarova.[3] He lived with his second wife, violinist Anna Reszniak, and three children[5] in Nuremberg, Bavaria.[20] In February 2021, Vogt was diagnosed with cancer of the throat and liver,[5] continuing to play while receiving treatment,[21] and recording between rounds of chemotherapy.[6]
Vogt died in a clinic in Erlangen in the presence of his family[8] on 5 September 2022, three days before his 52nd birthday.[2][6][22][23]
