Composer: Stefan Hakenberg
Stefan Hakenberg‘s work includes a wide variety of musical media. The integration of players of non western classical backgrounds has particularly shaped his creative output. Hakenberg served as the director of the Public Music School Division of the Darmstadt Academy for Musical Arts. He now resides in Graz, Austria and is the artistic director of Young Composers and Gustav Mahler at the Gustav Mahler Research Center in Toblach/Dobbiaco, Italy, where he creates, curates, and directs opportunities for young composers.
In 2007 Hakenberg was credited with having written the first “climate opera” with his chamber work “The Egg Musher,” libretto by Michael Kerstan, on the topic of global warming. His dance opera “Schau nicht zurück, Orfeo!” (libretto: Patricia Anne Simpson) was premiered in 2010 at the International Gluck Opera Festival in Nuremberg, Germany. His last opera “The Amputation of Charlie Sharp” (libretto: Philip Gourevitch) was premiered in 2014 at the festival “NOW!” in Essen, Germany.
