began playing the piano at the age of 5 and shortly afterwards received lessons from teachers at the Detmold University of Music. After graduating from high school at the age of just 16, he began his artistic training there, with an additional minor in musicology. In 2005 he moved to the Musikhochschule Basel to complete his studies there in 2008 with Jean Jaques Dünki.
Already during his studies he began an active concert career at home and abroad, which he expanded to include performances with the harpsichord after additional harpsichord studies at the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis.
Moritz Ernst cultivates an extraordinarily broad repertoire, ranging from baroque virginal music to modern music, often switching between harpsichord and piano in the same concert.
In the field of modern music, he works with leading contemporary composers (Klaus Huber, Sandeep Bhagwati, Wolfgang Rihm,...), who often dedicate works to him.
In addition to his worldwide activities as a soloist and under conductors such as Gabriel Feltz and Mario Venzago, Moritz Ernst regularly gives master classes at venues such as the Stuttgart University of Music, the Malmö Royal Academy, the Shanghai Conservatory of Music and the Boston Conservatory.
