This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.222.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 10:53, 20 August 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Benjamin-Gunnar Cohrs''' (21 September 1965 – 21 November 2023) was a German conductor, music scholar (specialising in [[Anton Bruckner|Bruckner]]), and publicist on music.

== Early career ==
Benjamin-Gunnar Cohrs made his early conducting debut in 1984 with the orchestra of the Youth Music School in [[Hamelin|Hameln]], where he received his early musical education in 1972 (Flute, Theory, Aural Training, Piano). In the same year, he founded the ''Youth String Orchestra of Hameln'', which performed with him numerous works of the string- and chamber orchestra repertoire until 1992. From 1986 to 1989 he studied conducting privately with the noted Italian composer and conductor [[Nicola Samale]] ([[Rome]]), and from 1989 to 1994 concert conducting (Hans-Joachim Kauffmann), voice (Hidenori Komatsu) and flute (Susanne Meier) at the Conservatory of Arts, Bremen. He also attended to rehearsals and projects of numerous well-known conductors and performed himself with several choirs and orchestras. His concert examination in 1994 included compositions by [[Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy]], [[Jean Sibelius]] and [[Frank Martin (composer)|Frank Martin]] as well as the first Bremen performance of [[Ralph Vaughan Williams]]’ [[Symphony No. 5 (Vaughan Williams)|Symphony No. 5]], recorded and broadcast by Radio Bremen. In 1996 he finished a Postgraduate Diploma in Musicology at the [[University of Adelaide]] for which he was granted a full scholarship of the DAAD ([[Deutscher Akademischer Austauschdienst]]). Since then, he had developed a career as a freelance concert conductor, editor, scholar and publicist on music. Cohrs finished his PhD in Musicology (University of Hamburg) in 2009.

== Conductor ==
Ben Cohrs made his international conducting debut in November 2000 in the [[Moscow]] [[Bolshoi Hall]], when he introduced historically informed performing practice to the [[Russian National Orchestra]]. In March 2001 he participated in the farewell concert of the famous [[Philharmonia Hungarica]], which was closed by the German Government and the Orchestral Union for political reasons. He appeared with orchestras such as the [[Royal Flanders Philharmonic]] (September 2001, [[Sumida Triphony Hall]], [[Tokyo]]), [[Sarajevo Symphony Orchestra]], and the [[Janacek Philharmonic]]; with the latter he gave the Austrian premiere of [[Anton Bruckner|Bruckner]]’s completed [[Symphony No. 9 (Bruckner)|Ninth Symphony]] in Gmunden.<ref>[https://www.abruckner.com/downloads/downloadofthemonth/december-2023-in-memoriam-benjamin-gunnar-cohrs-sy/ Symphony No. 9 with the SPCM the Finale with the Janacek Philharmonic Ostrava – live, Toscana Congress in Gmunden, 8 October 2002]</ref> In September 2013 he conducted the first performance of his new completion of [[Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart]]´s [[Requiem (Mozart)|Requiem in D minor]] in Germany ([[Bremen]] and [[Dortmund]]).

== Scholar and publicist on music ==
From 1996, Cohrs had contributed to international music magazines, presented pre-concert-talks as well as his own radio programmes (Radio Bremen, SWR, WDR, ORF), wrote programme notes, booklet notes, reports on musicological conferences and was a successful editor of music. From 1995 to 2012 he was a co-editor of the ''[[Bruckner Gesamtausgabe|Bruckner-Gesamtausgabe]]'' (Bruckner complete edition, Vienna).<ref>[https://www.mwv.at/content/seite/AntonBrucknerGesamtausgabebis2014/ Anton Bruckner Gesamtausgabe (bis 2014)]</ref> He was a well-known [[Anton Bruckner|Bruckner]]-scholar, in particular due to his studies and editions of Bruckner's Ninth Symphony. He was also a member of the editorial team of [[Nicola Samale]] which prepared the Completed Performing Version of the unfinished Finale of Bruckner's Ninth (1986–2012). He resigned from the team in 2021 after [[John A. Phillips]] had published his own revision without Cohrs' participation.  For the Magazine [[Musik-Konzepte]] he compiled Vol. 120/121/122 on request of the earlier editors, [[Heinz-Klaus Metzger]] and [[Rainer Riehn]] (''Bruckners Neunte im Fegefeuer der Rezeption'', Munich 2003). He also edited new completed performing versions of [[Franz Schubert|Schubert]]’s [[Unfinished Symphony]] in b-minor, the [[Great Mass in C minor]] and the [[Requiem (Mozart)|Requiem]] by [[Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart|Mozart]], both based on original sources. Since 2012 he was Editor in Chief of the [[Anton Bruckner Edition Wien]] ([[Alexander Hermann]] publishing group, Vienna; distributed by [[Schott Music]]), in which all collected works by Anton Bruckner will appear in new, modern Urtext editions.<ref>[[:de:Anton Bruckner Urtext Gesamtausgabe|Anton Bruckner Urtext Gesamtausgabe]]</ref> As the first volume of the Anton Bruckner Urtext Gesamtausgabe (Patron: [[Nikolaus Harnoncourt]] - until to his death -; from 2019: [[Simon Rattle]]), the [[Symphony No. 7 (Bruckner)|Symphony No. 7 in E major]] appeared in Summer 2015 (First Performance: 2 May 2015, Milano/La Scala; 3 May 2015, Vienna/Musikverein; [[Berliner Philharmoniker]], Simon Rattle). In 2016 the [[Symphony No. 6 (Bruckner)|Symphony No. 6 in A major]] followed (First Performance: April 2016 in Paris, London, Brussels, [[Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment]], Simon Rattle), 2017 the [[Missa Solemnis (Bruckner)|Missa Solemnis in B flat]] (First Performance: 25 June 2017, Berlin/Konzerthaus, [[RIAS-Kammerchor]], [[Akademie für Alte Musik Berlin]], [[Lukasz Borowicz]]), 2018 the [[Symphony No. 5 (Bruckner)|Symphony No. 5 in B-flat major]] (First Performance: [[Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra]], [[Daniel Harding]], Stockholm/Berwaldhallen, 4 September 2018), 2018 the [[Requiem (Bruckner)|Requiem d minor]] (First Performance: 22 November 2018, Berlin/Philharmonie, RIAS-Kammerchor, Akademie für Alte Musik Berlin, Lukasz Borowicz), and 2021 the [[Symphony No. 4 (Bruckner)|Symphony No. 4 in E-flat major]] (Version 1878–81, including - as appendices - the earlier Scherzo and Finale discarded in 1878; First Performance: 19 to 27 September 2021 in London, Luxembourg, Frankfurt, Dortmund and Cologne, [[London Symphony Orchestra]], Simon Rattle).
