New fellow of the Hans Werner Henze Foundation

Arne Gieshoff

The 27 year old German composer has been chosen unanimously by the artistic council of the Hans Werner Henze Foundation.

The Hans Werner Henze Foundation, by it‘s scholarship is helping a young composer who just has finished his studies and already has shown some evidence of his talent. Furthermore, he should not have exeeded the age of 35. The amount of the scholarship reflects the founder‘s wish to show that a composer can make a living on his pure art.
For the artistic council, it remains, ever following Maestro Henze‘s vision, important, that the awardee is expressing himself with a very own, original musical language indipendent to musical fads or schools.
