Jörg Widmann live in Berlin

Experience Jörg Widmann live on December 16th

Jörg Widmann, a contemporary German composer and clarinetist, will present a concert at Theater im Delphi in Berlin on December 16, 2026. Widmann’s musical style is characterized by a complex interplay between tradition and modernity. He frequently draws upon Romantic and early 20th-century musical languages – particularly those of Mahler, Webern, and Schumann – while incorporating extended techniques and a distinctive harmonic vocabulary. His works often explore extremes of expression, ranging from delicate lyricism to intense dramatic gestures, and demonstrate a virtuosic command of orchestration. He is known for composing across various genres including orchestral pieces, chamber music, solo works, and operas.

Theater im Delphi, located in Berlin's Schöneberg district, has a history rooted in diverse performance forms. Originally opened in 1928 as a cinema, it transitioned into a variety theatre after World War II. In the 1970s it became known as a venue for cabaret and political theatre during the era of West Berlin. Following renovations in the late 20th century, it re-established itself as a prominent space for independent theatre productions, dance performances and increasingly, classical music concerts.
