Helmut Lachenmann

Helmut Lachenmann is a German Compositeur born with Stuttgart the November 27th 1935. It studies there the piano, the theory and the counterpoint before going to study the composition with Luigi Nono with Venice.

He will teach thereafter with Stuttgart, Ludwigsburg, Hanover, and will intervene in master-classes in the most prestigious training centres with the composition: Darmstadt, Toronto, Basle, Akiyoshidai, Vienna, Chicago, Viitasaari, Oslo and with CNSMD of Paris.

Its works are regularly programmed in all the great festivals of Modern music: Holland Festival, Ars Musica Brussels, Festival of Fall (Paris), Steiericher Herbst (Graz), Huddersfield, Tage für Neue Musik (Stuttgart), Tage für Neue Kammermusik (Witten), Musik der Zeit (Cologne), Chicago, Zurich, Ultima (Oslo), Viitasaari, Saarbrucken, Reggio Emilia…

Price of composition of the town of Stuttgart (1968), Bach Price in Hamburg (1972), Price Ernst von Siemens (1997). He is member of the Academies of Arts of Berlin, Hamburg, Leipzig, Mannheim, Munich, and of Belgium.

Its music integrates a great number of nontraditional modes of play, and often requires a Amplification to make audible of extreme subtleties. But it never makes display of catalogs of effects without object. All its musical material works in the direction of the structural thought, put to the test of reality. Thus weaves a coherent strong bond and between microphone and macrostructure, constantly called in question by a refusal " rigoureux" to yield with any form of a pre-codified nature.

He is regarded as the leader of what one calls " Klang Komposition" , that one can seek to translate by " composition of the son" (or of sound).
