Timeline
Christoph Poppen (born 9 March 1956) is a German conductor, violinist and academic teacher.
Poppen was born in Münster.
As a violinist, he was awarded first prize in the Kocian Violin Competition age 14.
In 1978, Poppen founded the Cherubini Quartet, winning in 1981 at the international string quartet competition in Evian.
In 1988, Poppen was appointed professor of violin and chamber music at the Hochschule für Musik Detmold.
He was the conductor of the chamber orchestra Detmolder Kammerorchester from 1989 to 1995.
He then succeeded Hans Stadlmair as the conductor and artistic director of the Münchener Kammerorchester.
He taught at the Hochschule für Musik "Hanns Eisler" in Berlin from 1995 and was its director from 1996 to 2000.
As a violinist, he recorded in 2000 works of Johann Sebastian Bach with the Hilliard Ensemble.
The title Morimur (We shall die) stands for a juxtaposition of Bach's Partita for Violin No. 2, which is related to Easter according to scholar Helga Thoene, and interspersed chorales, some from his cantatas and Passions.
The Partita's final Ciaconna is performed twice, once with the chorale which Bach may have had in mind, along with the violin music.
The recording was described as "... one of those increasingly rare things – a moving and intelligently programmed disc that is effective from beginning to end.''"
Poppen was the artistic director of the ARD International Music Competition from 2000 to 2005.
He has been professor for violin and chamber music at the Hochschule für Musik und Theater München since 2003.

In 2007 he conducted in the Herkulessaal the premiere of Wilhelm Killmayer's Dithyramben for orchestra with the Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks.
In 2012–13, Poppen taught at the DO School in Hamburg as part of a Fellowship program for young social entrepreneurs.
He worked with the Fellows to produce a multicultural concert involving local youth groups; currently, he remains involved with the program in role of an advisor.
