Borsista della Fondazione Hans Werner Henze
Arne Gieshoff
La Fondazione Hans Werner Henze colla sua borsa aiuta un giovane compositore chi a appena concluso i studi universitari/conservatori e chi ha già dimostrato le prime testimonianze del suo talento. Però, il borsista preso in considerazione non dovrebbe essere già stabilito nel mondo della musica, e non deve aver superato l'età di 35 anni. La somma della borsa rifletta il desiderio del fondatore di mostrare che un compositore può vivere del suo mestiere proprio.
Inoltre, il consiglio artistico punta sul fatto (sempre seguendo la vision del Maestro Hans Werner Henze) che il borsista sa esprimersi in un proprio linguaggio musicale davvero originale indipendente di mode o scuole musicali.
Arne Gieshoff sta soddisfaccendo tutte le premesse squisitamente. Le prime lezioni di composizione ha avuto a 15 anni da Cord Meijering presso l”Akademie für Tonkunst Darmstadt”. Da 2009 a 2015 ha studiato a Londra presso il Royal College of Music con Kenneth Hesketh (Bachelor) e Jonathan Cole, Simon Holt e Dai Fujikura (Master con distinzione).

Allo stesso tempo salutiamo nostro borsista uscente, Riccardo Panfili chi usava suo tempo di borsista per tre nuovi brani (Panfili è l'unico compositore nei ultimi decenni di cui l'orchestra della Scala ha ordinato un secondo brano):
L'aurora, probabilmente per orchestra, prima assoluta 9. aprile 2014, Teatro alla Scala di Milano, Dir. Sir Antonio Pappano
Januskopf. Quartetto per archi, prima assoluta 12. settembre 2014, Internationales Kammermusikfestival Nürnberg
Oltre la linea per orchestra, prima assoluta 11. aprile 2016, Teatro alla Scala di Milano, Dir. Fabio Luisi
