Maximilian Berger began playing the violin at the age of 6. After early encouragement from Gerold Huber and as part of the precollege program at Regensburg in the class of Prof. Conrad von der Goltz, his path led him to Freiburg im Breisgau, where he studied violin with Prof. Gottfried von der Goltz.
As an orchestral musician, he is a member of the intercultural “asambura ensemble” and concertmaster of the “Niederbayerisches Kammerorchester”. His engagements have taken him on numerous concert tours, including to North Macedonia, Ukraine and the USA, as well as to many of the major national and international concert halls. As a chamber musician he is in demand on both the violin and the viola. He is particularly passionate about rarely performed works and the rediscovery of forgotten composers. This enthusiasm is the basis for his stylistically diverse repertoire. He works closely with the composer Lawson Lawall, for example in the recording of the music theater work “L'homme poubelle”, which premiered in Avignon (F) in 2021. Lawall's “Miniatures for violin solo” (2020) are dedicated to him. In 2020, he was awarded the Cultural Promotion Prize of his home town of Straubing for his artistic commitment.
