Jendrik Springer, born in Göttingen, studied piano and conducting. He began to build up a large repertoire as a lied accompanist during his studies. As a pianist, he has won prizes at numerous competitions and is regularly invited by renowned conductors to assist them in opera rehearsals, such as Christian Thielemann (most recently "Frau ohne Schatten" at the Vienna State Opera, "Ariadne auf Naxos" at the Semperoper Dresden, "Lohengrin" and "Tristan und Isolde" at the Bayreuth Festival), Philippe Jordan ("Meistersinger von Nürnberg" at the Bayreuth Festival, "Don Carlos" at the Opéra National de Paris), Sir Simon Rattle ("Parsifal at the Festspielhaus Baden-Baden, "Ring des Nibelungen" at the Vienna State Opera), Kirill Petrenko, Franz Welser-Möst and Yannick Nézet-Séguin.
Since September 2020, he has held the position of musical assistant to the music director at the Vienna State Opera. Jendrik Springer is also in demand internationally as a chamber music pianist (with violinist Janine Jansen, among others), but above all as a Lied accompanist and performs with singers such as Marlis Petersen, Krassimira Stoyanova Janina Baechle, Ricarda Merbeth and Adrian Eröd at the Vienna Konzerthaus, Salzburg Festival, Wigmore Hall London, Tonhalle Zurich, New York's Carnegie Hall, the Munich Opera Festival and in Tokyo, among others.
He gave a taste of his versatility in summer 2019 at a festive concert in Bayreuth's Margravial Opera House, where he performed as a pianist with Wagner/Liszt transcriptions as well as accompanying Camilla Nylund and conducting Mahler's "Lieder eines fahrenden Gesellen" with Daniel Schmutzhard and members of the Bayreuth Festival Orchestra. He was last seen on television in a live broadcast from the Großer Sendesaal in Vienna's RadioKulturhaus on ORFIII, in which he accompanied Anna Netrebko and Valentina Nafornita with Rachmaninov songs, among others.
