Gedenkkonzert Hans Werner Henze

Portrait, Duisburg, Gebläsehalle, Dezember 2008

When the Ruhr region was chosen as the European Capital of Culture, its artistic director Steven Sloane immediately saw Hans Werner Henze as a musical focus, a world star with roots in the region and an oeuvre that encompasses all musical genres as well as a wide range of opportunities for children, young people and amateurs, and who could thus connect the entire region.

After the premiere of "Nocturnes and Arias (Nachtstücke und Arien)", Donaueschingen 1957

The premiere of Nachtstücke und Arien (Nocturnes and Arias) at the Donaueschingen Music Festival in 1957 led to a veritable scandal, after which Hans Werner Henze's music has not been performed there ever since.
