Michael Wendeberg, conductor, naturally affiliates the handling of classical repertoire from Bach to Schoenberg and the intense engagement with contemporary and the most contemporary music. He is especially interested in finding out to what extend this confrontation and the perception of continuous traditions, respectively, alters the listening and playing of the old as well as the contemporary music.

Michael Wendeberg worked with the Staatskapelle Berlin, the Musikfabrik Köln, the Neue Vokalsolisten Stuttgart, with the Kammerensemble Neue Musik Berlin, the Ensemble Contrechamps, the Chamber Choir of the State Opera Berlin Apollini et Musis, the Philharmony Ljubljana, the Symphonic Orchestra Wuppertal as well as with the Collegium Novum Zurich, of which he is the first guest conductor. One could experience his work on the big stages and at major festivals, amongst others at the Biennale Munich, at the Bregenz Festival, at musicadhoy Madrid, at Wien Modern, at the Eclat Festival Stuttgart, at Klangspuren Schwaz, at the Biennale Venice and at the Lucerne Festival.

Since the season 2011/2012 Wendeberg is conductor at the Luzerner Theater and the new musical director of Ensemble Contrechamps in Geneva.
