Konrad Ruhland

Konrad Ruhland was born 1932 in Landau am Inn (Germany/Bavaria). He studied history, medieval Latin, theology, and liturgical history which helped him to gain extensive background knowledge for his musicological research. Under the leadership of Ruhland, a group of enthusiastic students in Munich formed the "Capella Antiqua" in 1956, one of the first groups to tackle the problems of reviving Early Baroque and Renaissance music using a scholarly approach.
