## Biography

Bohlman was born on 8 April 1838,[1] the son of [tobacco](/source/Tobacco) manufacturer Reinhard Georg Carl Bohlmann. Bohlmann studied with [Charles Kjerulf](/source/Charles_Kjerulf),[2] likely at the Mariboes School.

Bohlmann lived in [Bremen](/source/Bremen) from 1851–1859 and trained as a musician under conductor [Carl Heinemann](/source/Carl_Heinemann). He returned to [Copenhagen](/source/Copenhagen), where he worked as a music teacher and arranger and a music theater director.

In 1865, he received the Anckerske scholarship and considered using it to studied in Rome.[3]

From 1872 to 1876, Bohlmann was an organist in [Svendborg](/source/Svendborg).[1] He moved back to Copenhagen and resumed his previous activities, in particular as a teacher of music theory and instrumentation. He also worked as the music director at the [Odense Theater](/source/Odense_Teater),[citation needed] the [Hotel Marienlyst](/source/Hotel_Marienlyst),[1] and the Dagmar Theater (*Dagmar Teatret*).[1]

Bohlmann worked on musical arrangement for other artists and also composed a number of major and minor compositions, including two symphonies, several overtures, and concert pieces for violin and other instruments. In 1886, the piece *Brudefølget drar forbi (The Bridal Procession Passes By), Opus 19, No. 2*, which was arranged by Bohlmann for the orchestra, was first played in Copenhagen.[4][5] His own *Vikingefærd* (*Viking Expedition*) was also performed at the [Gewandhaus](/source/Gewandhaus) in [Leipzig](/source/Leipzig).

Beginning in 1887, Bohlmann received an annual grant from the state. He also received a grant from the Raben-Lewetzauske Fund for the publication of instrumentation illustrations. From 1892 until his death, he was an organist at the Vestre Kirkegaards Chapel in Copenhagen.[1]

Bohlmann died in 1920; he was 82.[1]

Retrieved 9 July 2025. At the production in Copenhagen in 1886 as many as six pieces [by Peer Gynt] were left out... Not only were pieces left out..., but pieces not originally composed for Peer Gynt were also used. The Bridal Procession, Op. 19, no. 2 orchestrated by Georg Bohlmann, and three of the Norwegian Dances, op. 35, orchestrated by Robert Henriques, were used in the first act.
