He studied church music at the Musikhochschule Freiburg and pipe organ with Walter Kraft. He passed the A-examination at the Musikhochschule Lübeck.
From 1957 to 1966 he was cantor at the St. Andreas Church in Hamburg. He founded the Cappella Vocale Hamburg[1] and was choir conducting teacher at the Hamburg University of Music until 1966. In 1966 he followed the call to teach choir conducting at the Spandauer Kirchenmusikschule (KMS), whose director he was from 1976 to 1998.[1] He directed the Spandauer Kantorei for 29 years.[2]
Behrmann was also involved with foreign church music associations such as the Sambalikhaan Foundation in the Philippines. There, together with other renowned church music teachers, he participated in corresponding workshops.[3] The theological faculty of the Humboldt University in Berlin awarded him the title of professor.[4] Until 2010, he taught at the Korean National University of Arts in Seoul, Korea.[4]
Behrmann died in Löningen in Oldenburger Münsterland at age 83.[5]
