Eugen Jochum, son of a teacher, organist, choir director and director of the orchestra and theater association, grew up in a Catholic home together with his brothers Otto and Georg Ludwig. He received his first piano lessons at the age of four and his first organ lessons at the age of six; at nine, he helped out in the churches of his home town. This led to his original career aspirations of becoming a church musician. He initially studied at the Leopold Mozart Conservatory in Augsburg (organ, piano) and from 1922 to 1925 at the Munich Academy of Music under Siegmund von Hausegger and Hermann von Waltershausen, studying orchestral conducting and composition and organ under Emanuel Gatscher (1890-1946). He also worked as a répétiteur at the Munich Opera.

His successful debut as a conductor on March 16, 1926 with the Munich Philharmonic Orchestra with Bruckner’s 7th Symphony determined the course of his life. His first engagements as a conductor took him to Mönchengladbach, to the Kiel Opera House (1927-1929), to Lübeck, where he took over the direction of the symphony concerts of the “Verein der Musikfreunde”, and to the Mannheim National Theatre. From 1930 to 1932, he held the post of General Music Director at the Duisburg Theater and the Duisburg Symphony Orchestra, which he also held at the Berlin Municipal Opera from 1932 to 1934. Jochum was also musical director of the radio program “Funkstunde” and conducted the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra and the Berlin radio station. As Karl Böhm’s successor, he was General Music Director of the Hamburg State Opera and conductor of the Philharmonic Orchestra from 1934 to 1949.
