about
Andreas Jakob Romberg (1767 – 1821) was born on April 27, 1767 in Vechta (Münster, Germany). Romberg learned the violin from his musician father and first performed in public at the age of six. In addition to touring Europe, Romberg also joined the Münster Court Orchestra. He joined the court orchestra of the Prince Elector in Bonn (conducted by the Kapellmeister Andrea Luchesi) in 1790, where he met the young Beethoven. He moved to Hamburg in 1793 due to wartime upheavals and joined the Hamburg Opera Orchestra. Romberg's first opera, 'Der Rabe', premiered there in 1794. He also composed his own setting of Messiah (Der Messias). After a time in Paris, Andreas settled in Hamburg where he became a central figure in the city's musical life. In 1815 he succeeded Louis Spohr as music director at the court of the Duke, in Gotha, Thuringia. He died there on November 10, 1821.
