Michael Wolf is professor for double bass at the Berlin University of the Arts and the Irish World Academy of Music and Dance at the University of Limerick. He was born in New Jersey, U.S.A., and began studying the double bass at the age of nine. When he was thirteen years old, he made his first television appearance as a soloist. He completed his first degree with honours in the biological sciences at the University of Southern California, where he worked and published in the field of cancer research.
Afterwards, he studied music with Nathaniel Gangursky and became a member of the San Diego Symphony Orchestra. He received a Fulbright/DAAD and a Rotary-International scholarship, which brought him to Germany. Before he assumed his position in Berlin, he held a professorship for double bass in the University of Mainz.
His publications include a double bass method. His radio and solo recordings as well as his concert appearances and masterclasses both domestically and abroad have consistently received the highest critical acclaim.
