Wolfgang Hentrich live in Radebeul

Experience Wolfgang Hentrich live on August 23rd

On August 23, 2026, a concert featuring Wolfgang Hentrich will take place at Villa Kolbe in Radebeul, Germany. Hentrich’s musical style is generally described as contemporary classical, often incorporating elements of minimalism and spectral music. His compositions frequently explore extended techniques for various instruments and are noted for their atmospheric qualities and focus on timbre. He has received commissions from numerous orchestras and ensembles internationally and is recognized for his innovative approach to orchestral writing.

Villa Kolbe holds historical significance as the former residence of painter Carl Blechen, a prominent figure in German Romanticism, from 1849 until his death in 1850. The villa itself dates back to the mid-19th century and exemplifies the architectural style prevalent amongst artists’ residences during that period. Following periods of varied use, including time as a rehabilitation center, it was extensively restored and now functions as a cultural venue dedicated to art exhibitions, concerts, and other events. The building's interior retains several features reflecting its original design and Blechen’s occupancy. The setting provides an intimate atmosphere conducive to chamber music performances and smaller-scale orchestral works.
