The life of this great Austrian artist reflects the brilliant success of a contemporary composer.


Roland Baumgartner was born in Lower Austria in 1955. At the age of 5 years already, he started his musical training being tutored by a number of renowned Austrian music experts. Later on, he studied music composition, piano and the trumpet at the Vienna Conservatory.

At age 18 he already graduated, and at 21 he became director of the "Salzburger Musikschulwerk", the youngest director ever since the founding of this music school. During that time he composed the ballet Bergsegen, which was performed for the first time by the Royal Ballet of London. In 1979 he went to the United States to study music composition with Leonard Bernstein. The influence of this eminent teacher led to Baumgartner's decision to work henceforth as a freelance composer and conductor, with the outcome that over the years he came to conduct such renowned orchestras as, among others, the Czechoslovak Philharmonic Orchestra, the NDR Symphonic Orchestra, the Philadelphia Philharmonic Orchestra, the Vienna Festival Orchestra and the Bolshoi Symphonic Orchestra. 


This unusually multi-facetted approach as a composer and conductor awakened the interest of international personalities in the world of film and TV production. With an abundance of music titles for international films such as Deadly Games, Joseph's Daughter, Body and Soul, Jungle Warriors, Night of Four Moons, The Secret of The Black Dragon (Manson Inter.Group/Orion) and Ali Baba, Roland Baumgartner demonstrates his incredible versatility. More than 100 TV films and series were entrusted to him by patrons such as the BBC, SRG, RA2, ORF, ZDF, ARD, RTL, ARTE, DEUTSCHE WELLE, BR and many more. 

His largest symphonic opus so far, the Missa Pacis, premièred in Philadelphia at the 200-year-anniversary of the American constitution in June of 1987, in the presence of the United States Governors and representatives from 80 countries.

On occasion of the 100-year-anniversary of Hollywood, Roland Baumgartner produced a symphonic composition for large orchestra and choir, the Hollywood Symphony. It was published as a CD series in 1996. 

Roland Baumgartner is working with many international interpreters, such as Peter Hoffmann, Engelbert Humperdinck, Drafi Deutscher, Margot Werner und Jennifer Rush, Vienna Boys Choir, Philadelphia Boys Choir, Ramon Vargas, Peter Dvorsky 

Roland Baumgartner is a regular member of Lions Club Vienna MozART.
