Georg Ludwig Jochum
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Georg Ludwig Jochum (sometimes hyphenated as Georg-Ludwig Jochum) was a German conductor and younger brother of better-known conductor Eugen Jochum. He was born 10 December 1909 in Babenhausen near Augsburg, Germany and died 1 November 1970 in Mülheim, Germany. After studies in Munich, in 1932 he was appointed General Music Director of the city of Münster. This made him the youngest orchestral chief in Germany.[1] Like his brother, he is especially associated with the music of Anton Bruckner.
