Wolfgang Rihm

Wolfgang Rihm (13 March 1952 – 27 July 2024) was a German composer of contemporary classical music and a teacher. One of the most influential post-war European composers, Rihm was among the leading German composers of his time. A prolific composer, his total output numbers more than 500 works, although he is particularly known for his operas. Associated with the New Simplicity style earlier in his career, his style later extended to what The Guardian described as a "bewildering variety of styles and sounds". He was the musical director of the Institute of New Music and Media at the University of Music Karlsruhe and was a composer in residence at the Lucerne Festival and the Salzburg Festival. He was honoured as Officier of the Ordre des Arts et des Lettres in 2001. His students included the composers Rebecca Saunders, David Philip Hefti, Márton Illés, and Jörg Widmann.
