Keno Brandt
Keno Brandt grew up with the music of his father's Low German folk band LAWAY, in which he has been active as a keyboardist, bassist and guitarist since the early 2000s.
After studying church music and piano in Bayreuth, Keno Brandt moved to the Robert Schumann University in Düsseldorf, where he gained his A in church music and a master's degree in opera singing. There he met Carmen Bangert and Jonas Rölleke, with whom he founded the global folk trio La Kejoca in 2016.
As a singer, he was engaged at the Deutsche Oper am Rhein and the Hagen Theatre and regularly performs in concerts and oratorios. In addition to the 'classical' paths, he has also performed with the 'Toten Hosen' and 'Fünf Sterne Deluxe' on the stages of the Tonhalle Düsseldorf, the Laiezhalle Hamburg and the Essen Philharmonie.
In 2013, he founded the ensemble 'Collegium Frisia Vocalis', which has made a name for itself under his direction for both lively and historically informed performances of baroque works. Various CD recordings and television appearances document his wide-ranging artistic work.
