Albert Wieder first learned to play the tuba from his father, who was a trombonist. At the age of 14, he was admitted to the class of Josef Maierhofer at the University of Music and Performing Arts Graz, Oberschützen branch, where he was a non-regular student until 1999. Already at that time, he performed solo concerts under Yehudi Menuhin and with the Graz University Orchestra Oberschützen. Afterwards, he pursued a regular degree there until 2007 in instrumental and vocal pedagogy as well as concert tuba performance. From 2001 to 2003, he also studied tuba with Paul Halwax at the Music and Arts Private University of the City of Vienna. In 2000, at the age of 19, he became the tubist for the stage orchestra of the Vienna State Opera and also founded the brass ensemble da Blechhauf’n. Since 2006, Wieder has been a member of the Vienna Trombone Ensemble.
From 2015 to 2017, he also played tuba as a substitute for the group Mnozil Brass and participated in their album Yes! Yes! Yes! Together with two members of this ensemble—the trumpeter Thomas Gansch and the trombonist Leonhard Paul—he forms the trio “Wieder, Gansch & Paul,” which was nominated in the Jazz/World/Blues category at the 2020 Amadeus Awards. In 2017, he also collaborated with the German trumpeter Christoph Moschberger.
Since September 2012, Albert Wieder has been a professor of tuba at the Joseph Haydn Conservatory of the Burgenland State in Eisenstadt.
