Jörg Widmann

The Utopian, a platform for experimental music as well as journalism, photography and video art, will portray one significant contemporary classical composer in each issue. It is a great privilege for us to inaugurate our series with these fantastic pieces by Jörg Widmann.

Jörg Widmann, born in 1973, is Germany's most promising young composer. His works have been performed by all leading European orchestras - including pieces commissioned for the Salzburger Festspiele, the Münchner Staatsoper, and many others. Later this month, Yefim Bronfman will debut 11 pieces by Widmann at the Carnegie Hall in New York.
