Samuel Hasselhorn will perform at the Staatstheater Nürnberg on October 29, 2026. Hasselhorn is a German composer and musician known for his work blending elements of contemporary classical music with influences from jazz, improvisation, and electronic soundscapes. His compositions often feature extended techniques and explore textural and harmonic complexity, frequently incorporating live electronics alongside traditional instrumental forces. He’s gained recognition for projects involving site-specific sound installations and collaborations across artistic disciplines.

The Staatstheater Nürnberg holds a significant place in German cultural history. Originally founded in 1909, it encompasses opera, ballet, drama, and concert performances within a single institution. The building itself replaced an earlier theatre destroyed by fire and was designed by architects Carl Kraas and Oskar Wörner in a neo-baroque style. Following extensive damage during World War II, the theatre underwent reconstruction, reopening in 1963. It remains a major cultural venue in Nuremberg and Bavaria, known for its diverse programming and commitment to both established repertoire and contemporary works. The main hall boasts excellent acoustics and a capacity of approximately 800 seats.
