Education and career

Widmann was born on 19 June 1973 in Munich and first took clarinet lessons in 1980.[1] Four years later he became a composition student of Kay Westermann.[1] He later studied composition with Hans Werner Henze, Wilfried Hiller, Heiner Goebbels and Wolfgang Rihm.[2] As a clarinetist, he studied at the Hochschule für Musik und Theater München with Gerhard Starke (1986–1997, Meisterklassendiplom 1997)[3] and at the Juilliard School in New York City with Charles Neidich (1994–1995, Advanced Certificate 1995).[1][4] After graduating with a Master's from Hochschule für Musik Munich in 1997, he furthered his studies at the Hochschule für Musik Karlsruhe (1997–1999).[2][1] From 2001 to 2015 he taught clarinet as a professor at the University of Music Freiburg.[1] From 2009 to 2016 Widmann was a part time Professor of Composition, succeeding Mathias Spahlinger, at the Institute for New Music at the University of Music Freiburg.[1][5][6] In 2017, Widmann became Principal Conductor and Artistic Partner (2011–2017: Principal Guest Conductor) of the Irish Chamber Orchestra.[7][8] Since 2017, Widmann holds the Edward-Said-Chair as Professor of Composition at the Barenboim–Said Akademie Berlin.[9]

He lives in Berlin and Munich.[10]

Musical works and performances

Clarinet career

Widmann has achieved success both as a clarinetist and as a composer. As a soloist, he has performed with major orchestras in Germany and abroad, including the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra and Munich Philharmonic Orchestra, under conductors such as Valery Gergiev, Christoph von Dohnányi, Sylvain Cambreling and Kent Nagano. Widmann has premiered several clarinet concerti dedicated to him: in 1999 through "musica viva", he played Music for Clarinet and Orchestra by Wolfgang Rihm;[1] in 2006 with the WDR Symphony Orchestra, Cantus by Aribert Reimann;[1] and in 2015 "über" by Mark Andre at the Donaueschingen Festival.[11] Widmann's core repertoire as clarinetist includes Boulez Dialogue de l'ombre double, which he performed on Pierre Boulez's 85th birthday in Paris.[12][13][14]

Career as composer

Widmann's compositions draw on different musical genres. For example, he has written a Trilogy for orchestra examining the projection of vocal forms of instrumental ensembles. The Trilogy consists of Lied (premiered in 2003 and recorded on CD by the Bamberg Symphony with Jonathan Nott), Chor (premiered in 2004 by the Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin with Kent Nagano) and Messe (premiered in June 2005 by the Munich Philharmonic under Christian Thielemann).[15] In 2007, Pierre Boulez and the Vienna Philharmonic premiered his orchestral work Armonica.[16]

His early string quartets are of particular note among his chamber music: the First Quartet was written in 1997, followed by the Chorale Quartet and the Hunting Quartet, the latter premiered in 2003 by the Arditti Quartet. 2005 saw the first performances of the Fourth Quartet and Experiment on a Fugue (Fifth Quartet, with soprano), with Juliane Banse and the Artemis Quartet. These five one-movement quartets form a cycle.[17][18][19]

Widmann was Composer in Residence at the Salzburg Festival in 2004.[20] Am Anfang by Anselm Kiefer and Widmann was premiered in July 2009 as part of the 20th anniversary of the Opéra Bastille, in which Widmann acted as composer, clarinettist and made his debut as conductor.[14] He was Composer in Residence at the Lucerne Festival in 2009,[21] where on 13 August 2009, Heinz Holliger performed Widmann's oboe concerto, commissioned by the festival.[22] On 5 September Widmann premiered Holliger's Rechant for solo clarinet.[23] Widmann's Free Pieces for Ensemble: Number X is used in Sophie Fiennes's documentary Over Your Cities Grass Will Grow (2010), about the postwar German artist Anselm Kiefer.[24] His sister[1] Carolin Widmann premiered his études IV-VI for violin (2004–2010) at the Wittener Tage für neue Kammermusik on 23 April 2010.[25] From 2009 to 2011 he was the Daniel R. Lewis Young Composer Fellow at the Cleveland Orchestra.[26][27] He performed his Fantasie for clarinet (1993) to celebrate Walter Fink's 80th birthday at the Rheingau Musik Festival on 16 August 2010 and in 2014 was the festival's Composer & Artist in Residence.[28][29] Widmann was the Tonhalle Orchester Zürich's Creative Chair in the 2015–16 season.[30][31]

On 9 September 2015, the Boston Symphony Orchestra and the Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra announced they were commissioning a work from Widmann as part of a planned collaboration by the two organizations beginning in the fall of 2017.[32] The Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra announced Widmann's appointment as its first-ever Gewandhauskomponist (Gewandhaus composer) for the 2017–18 season.[33]

Widmann's oratorio ARCHE had its world premiere on 13 January 2017 on the occasion of the opening festivities of the Elbphilharmonie in Hamburg. It was performed by the Hamburg Philharmonic State Orchestra conducted by Kent Nagano.[34][35][36] The Pierre Boulez Saal was opened on 4 March 2017 with a concert by Widmann, Daniel Barenboim, and Anna Prohaska.[37]

On 27 January 2018 Widmann and the Hagen Quartet performed his Clarinet Quintet, as part of a European tour, at Amsterdam's Muziekgebouw aan het IJ.[38] Partita, five reminiscences for large orchestra, commissioned by the Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra and the Boston Symphony Orchestra, was premiered in Leipzig on 8 March 2018 with Andris Nelsons conducting.[39]

After the world premiere in 2012 at the Bavarian State Opera, in 2019 a new Berlin version of his opera Babylon was performed at the Berlin State Opera Unter den Linden under the musical direction of Christopher Ward.[40]

Anne-Sophie Mutter is the dedicatee of String Quartet No. 6 (Study on Beethoven, 2019).[41][27] With this piece, Widmann began a new series of works in the genre.

Widmann held the 2019–20 Richard and Barbara Debs Composer's Chair at Carnegie Hall.[42][43][27] During the COVID-19 pandemic of 2020, he contributed to the online Festival of New Music with his composition empty space.[44][45][46] Barenboim and Emanuel Pahud curated the festival in the empty Pierre Boulez Saal.[44][47]

Musical style

In most of his compositions, Widmann is in musical "dialogue" with Classical-Romantic composers such as Schumann, Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert and Brahms.[31][48][49] He wrote musical tributes to these composers.[49][31] Widmann has written pieces without pitches and also purely tonal pieces.[50] The scores show extremely precise, well-considered structures and instructions.[51] He uses extended techniques in many compositions such as Con brio.[52][27] He finds inspiration in literature, poems, paintings and sculptures[53] and uses frequently literary sources for his compositions, such as Matthias Claudius, Klabund, Heinrich Heine, Peter Sloterdijk, Clemens Brentano and Friedrich Schiller.[54][55]

According to Bachtrack, in 2018 Widmann was the third most performed contemporary composer, behind Arvo Pärt and John Williams.[56]
