Portrait of Hans Werner Henze

Henze, Hans Werner

Hans Werner Henze was born in 1926 in Gütersloh and died in 2012 in Dresden. Hans Werner Henze was a German composer. His work shaped classical music and is frequently performed, recorded, and studied by musicians all over the world. His extensive oeuvre is stylistically extremely diverse and was influenced by serialism, atonality, neoclassicism, Italian music, Arabic music, and jazz, as well as traditional German schools of composition. Henze was also known for his political convictions. Henze spent a year teaching in Cuba from 1969 to 1970. His independent, expressive, imaginative, influential, enduring, and multifaceted musical legacy remains alive worldwide and continues to be received with great attention.
