Life

Eichhorn studied mathematics and physics to become a teacher.[1] He also worked as a teacher for two years, but began studying at the Hochschule für Musik "Hanns Eisler" on the side. He eventually gave up his teaching job as a maths and physics teacher and devoted himself entirely to music, becoming a Meisterschüler of Günter Kochan at the Musikhochschule and a teacher of composition there. [1] He founded the concert series Kammerstudio at the Haus des Lehrers in Berlin.[2] In 1975, he was awarded the Hanns Eisler Prize.[3] In 1978, he received a first prize in the chamber music competition of the Dresden Music Festival.[4] His compositions were published by Edition Peters and were performed among others by the orchestra of the Komische Oper Berlin[5] and the MDR Leipzig Radio Symphony Orchestra. In January 1978, he was killed in a car accident at the age of 30.[1] His grave is in the Waldfriedhof Kleinmachnow. His estate is kept in the Saxon State and University Library Dresden.[6]
