Georg Vogl
(Tremmersdorf, 23 May 1725 - Naples, 19 November 1761)

German violinist and composer. After early training in Freising at the Jesuit schools as a chorister, he was taken on by Count Clemens von Bayern as an ordinary musician. His early studies were with Placidus von Camerloher, but in 1758 he was sent to Italy to complete his training. There he became known for his violin playing and operas, written both for Italian theatres and for Jesuit seminaries in Germany. Also in Italy he was acclaimed as a 'violin virtuoso'. His Italian and German operas have not survived; his remaining music includes three symphonies, a violin concerto, a Requiem, and two litanies. His brothers, Pater Benedikt Vogl (1718-1790) and Pater Christoph Vogl (1722-1767) were also musicians but focused as a monastic composers in a Benedictine abbeys.
