He has appeared on the concert stage with soloists including Antje Weithaas, Alena Baeva, Johannes Moser, and pianist and entertainer Hyung-ki Joo. Alongside his conducting activities, music outreach plays an important role in his work: through a wide range of concert and educational formats, he aims to make classical music vivid and accessible to a broad audience.
Opera also holds a special place in his artistic work. He gained important experience as assistant to the Belgian conductor David Reiland and has been involved in productions at Oper Leipzig, the Opéra de Saint-Étienne, and Opera Zuid. He also has a strong interest in historically informed performance practice, whose insights he integrates into modern concert programmes, while regularly collaborating with ensembles specialising in contemporary music.
Pit Brosius studied orchestral conducting and bassoon at the Conservatorium van Amsterdam and the Conservatorium Maastricht. Alongside his conducting career, he teaches conducting at the Conservatoire du Nord and has served as Assistant Professor of Conducting at the Conservatoire royal de Liège since 2026.
