Felix Woyrsch (8 October 1860 – 20 March 1944) was a German composer and choir director. Largely self-taught in music, he became director of the Altonaer Liedertafel in 1887 and director of the Altona Church Choir in 1893. Already a music professor since 1901, he was elected into the Prussian Academy of Arts in Berlin in 1917. Woyrsch worked as a conductor, and as Altona's city music director, until 1931. Woyrsch's compositions include seven symphonies, five further works for orchestra, three operas, 100 songs, and a violin concerto. His main influences included his friend Brahms, as well as Bach and Palestrina.
