Heide Müller is the second prize winner of the Eric Ericson Award 2024, is one of the most promising young choral conductors in Germany and increasingly in demand as a guest conductor across Europe.

She works regularly as a guest conductor and chorus master for leading ensembles, including Cappella Amsterdam, The Norwegian Soloists’ Choir, Bavarian Radio Choir, NDR Vokalensemble, Flemish Radio Choir, Netherlands Radio Choir and Chamber Choir Ireland. Her work is distinguished by a high level of musical expertise and a nuanced approach to a stylistically diverse repertoire.

In the 2026/27 season, she makes her debut with DR Vokalensemble Copenhagen and Coro de la Comunidad de Madrid, and prepares productions with SWR Vokalensemble Stuttgart, Rundfunkchor Berlin and Chœur de Radio France.

She is particularly committed to supporting young musicians and composers and is deeply engaged in contemporary music, developing innovative concert programmes and formats for diverse audiences.

In 2022, Heide Müller was awarded the Förderpreis für junge Künstlerinnen und Künstler of the State of North Rhine-Westphalia and was admitted to the Forum Dirigieren of the German Music Council in the same year. She has been a fellow of the Norwegian Conductors’ Forum of Talent Norge and of Tenso CONNECT.
