Rudi Seifert was born on May 27, 1931 in Silberbach in Egerland. Even as a child he had intensive contact with music because his father ran a music school where a wide variety of instruments were taught. After the Second World War he had to leave his homeland, but was able to build a new life for himself as a professional musician and music teacher in the West. In 1972 he founded the music publishing company "Studio-Verlag Seifert" and became known to a broad wind band music audience through numerous compositions and arrangements.
