Hans Werner Henze live in Tutzing

Experience Hans Werner Henze live on April 18th

On April 18, 2027, a concert dedicated to the works of Hans Werner Henze will take place at Schloß Tutzing Evangelische Akademie in Tutzing, Germany. Henze (1926-2012) was a prominent German composer known for a highly individual style that evolved throughout his career. Initially influenced by serialism, his music later embraced a more lyrical and dramatic approach, often incorporating elements of Italian opera and exploring politically and socially conscious themes. He frequently employed extended vocal techniques and complex orchestration, resulting in a diverse output including operas, symphonies, chamber music, and vocal works.

Schloß Tutzing Evangelische Akademie is a conference and educational center located within Tutzing Castle on Lake Starnberg in Bavaria. The castle itself has a rich history; originally a Benedictine monastery founded in the 8th century, it became a princely monastery under Bavarian rule. Following secularization in the 19th century, it served as a royal summer residence before being converted into an Evangelical Academy in 1948.
