4) Otmar Desch is PianoDoc, TheatreDoc, ConductorDoc and ComposerDoc

Applause after Desch's  "Aufruf des Dalai Lama" Melodram

There is little to say about my professional career. Music, piano and composition studies were runing parallel with the medical studies.....
[remark from Wolfgang Ellenberger: Right, Otmar, nothing easier than that!]
After my medical exam I was working at the theatre in Münster/Germany for 15 years (my parents were frightened), then I went to Berlin to have an own office as a general practitioner
(and NOT give up to compose and give recitals in the Berlin area). As I had planned I sold the office at age 60 and from end of 2001 I am musical director, pianist and composer at the theatre in Stendal/Germany. www.tda-stendal.de
