The illustrated book ‘A casa di Hans’, which was published in June 2021, is now also available in German. The translation was done by Julia Elisabeth Hartmann, and the introduction was written by Michael Kerstan, chairman of the Hans Werner Henze Foundation.

The much-awaited first recording of the manuscript version of Henze's Royal Winter Music has been released on CD and in print.

The composer's efforts to create a stage version of the television opera La Cubana date back to the early 90s of the 20th century. Now the magnificent result can be seen at the Staatsoper Berlin on the stage of Linden21.

For his 85th birthday, Hans Werner Henze dreamed up a small festival for himself.

As part of Ruhr.2010 European Capital of Culture and the “Henze Project - New Music for a Metropolis” contained therein, musicologists Elisabeth Schmierer and Norbert Abels held a symposium at the Folkwang University of the Arts in Essen from November 5 to 6, 2010.

In February 2005, the Spanish National Orchestra and National Choir (OCNE) dedicated their annual festival "Carta Blanca" to Hans Werner Henze.
