Tanneberger was born in Berlin. His parents arranged for him to have earliest violin instruction at the age of three and a half. He gave his first public performance at the age of five. First as a six-year-old and then when he was eight, he achieved the highest score when taking part in the nationwide Jugend musiziert music competition sponsored by the President of the Federal Republic of Germany and supported by the Federal Ministry of Family Affairs, Senior Citizens, Women and Youth.
Since September 1997 Tanneberger has been studying with Professor Ana Chumachenco at the Hochschule für Musik in Munich, Bavaria, Germany, where he was admitted for advanced placement study in 1998. He was a scholarship recipient of the Karl-Böhm-Stiftung in Munich from 1997 to 2001, enabling him to perform in several concerts in Germany and abroad.
His awards until now include 1st Prize at the Third International Louis Spohr Competition for young violinists, Weimar, in October 2001, and 3rd prize at the International Yehudi Menuhin Competition, France, April 2002. In November 2003 Marcus Tanneberger was a prize-winner at the Fifth Leopold Mozart International Violin Competition in Augsburg. In January 2004 he received 1st prize with the highest score at the "Jugend musiziert" Competition as well as special prizes of the “Sparkasse Bayreuth” and the "Deutsche Stiftung Musikleben".
Tanneberger is the first violinist of the Appassionata String Quartet of Würzburg, Germany, which was founded in 2007 at Hochschule für Musik Würzburg.
In addition to his career as a violinist, since November 2007, he has been completing a pilot training program with Lufthansa in Bremen, Germany. He successfully completed this apprenticeship in 2009.[2][3][4]
