At the 44th Cantiere Internazionale d'Arte in Montepulciano, a choreography of Henze's Sinfonia N. 8 will be shown, a danced Midsummer Night's Dream.

Hans Werner Henze is considered a leading composer after 1945, but seven years after his death his legacy is under threat.

Commissioned by the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra, Hans Abrahamsen orchestrated the last two movements of Hans Werner Henze's Sonatina 1947.

But the Cantiere Internazionale d'Arte in Montepulciano continues to cultivate the composer's legacy.

Transfer of the exhibition Canti di colore. I dipinti di Hans Werner Henze from the Goethe House in Rome to the Berlin Philharmonie.

In April 2018, the composer Saskia Bladt is spending a study and work residency at La Leprara. Until shortly before, she was a Villa Massimo scholarship holder and now she is realising a commission from the Munich Biennale - International Festival for New Music Theatre.

On 9 February at 17:00, the doors are opening to the exhibition Canti di Colore - i dipinti di Hans Werner Henze - Farbenlieder - die Gemälde Hans Werner Henze at the Goethe House on Rome's Corso.

In November 2017, Kadja Grönke and Michael Zywietz organised a three-day symposium on the "Status and perspectives of musicological homosexuality research". Four lectures focussed on the life and work of Hans Werner Henze.

Concert music of 1944: The manuscript of Hans Werner Henzes opus 1: Concert music for solo violine and small chamber orchestra was handed over by Sibylle Stier to the Hans Werner Henze-Foundation in September 2017. The convocation of the parties to the Labor service and military service in January 1944 had at that time prevented a world premiere.

On 26 July, Elena Minetti and Michael Kerstan will present the 2nd Italian edition of Henze's autobiography, Canti di Viaggio. Una vita, this time in Rimini as part of the Sagra Musicale Malatestiana, the large music festival of Emilia Romagna. Afterwards there will be a performance of El Cimarrón with Italian musicians and the American baritone Nicholas Isherwood.
