Dr Lichtenberg uses music as a powerful vehicle to inspire hope and raise funds for life-saving cardiac care. His debut album, Die Tale van my Hart, received a South African Music Award (SAMA) nomination for Best Classical Album, while his recordings have brought him together with internationally acclaimed artists including Queen guitarist Sir Brian May, West End star Kerry Ellis, Grammy Award-winning Soweto Gospel Choir and renowned singer-songwriter Stef Bos.

His father is responsible for fostering a young Wilhelm's deep love of music, and so the dream of being an opera singer started in his early years.
