It is with great sadness that the Karl Amadeus Hartmann Society / Hartmann Center bids farewell to its long-standing member and former Chairman of the GEMA Board of Directors, Prof. Dr Reinhold Kreile, who passed away on Friday, 30 August 2024, at the age of 94. Reinhold Kreile was not only a committed member of our society, but also deeply connected to the musical legacy of Karl Amadeus Hartmann and the Hartmann family. Music was always at the centre of his work, and with his death Munich’s cultural life has lost an important personality. The Karl Amadeus Hartmann Society / Hartmann Centre will always honour Reinhold Kreile’s memory.

It is with great sadness that the Karl Amadeus Hartmann Society / Hartmann Centre bids farewell to one of the most important contemporary composers. Wolfgang Rihm was a founding member of our society in 2004 and was closely associated with Karl Amadeus Hartmann’s musical legacy and with us personally. His works and his presence always enriched our concerts. The Karl Amadeus Hartmann Society / Hartmann Centre will always honour the memory of Wolfgang Rihm.   https://www.br-klassik.de/aktuell/news-kritik/wolfgang-rihm-komponist-gestorben-nachruf-100.htmlhttps://www.universaledition.com/News/Trauer-um-Wolfgang-Rihm/https://www.swr.de/swrkultur/musik-klassik/wolfgang-rihm-ist-tot-tonkuenstler-und-ermutiger-zum-eigensinn-100.html

On 20 July 2024, the Kollegienkirche offered an extraordinary concert programme with works by Sofia Gubaidulina, Arvo Pärt and Karl Amadeus Hartmann as part of the Salzburg Festival. Patricia Kopatchinskaja, dressed in bright red, performed Hartmann’s ‘Concerto funebre’ together with the Camerata Salzburg with impressive vibrancy and energy. A detailed review of this special evening is linked below.
In 2023, Kopatchinskaja was made an honorary member of the Hartmann Society for her services to Karl Amadeus Hartmann and his work.

It is with great sadness that the Karl Amadeus Hartmann Society / Hartmann Centre bids farewell to one of the most important composers of the post-war period. Aribert Reimann died in Berlin at the age of 88. He was a founding member of the Hartmann Society and he and his works were welcome guests at our concerts.

The Karl Amadeus Hartmann Society / Hartmann Centre will always honour Aribert Reimann’s memory.

We would like to draw your attention to an exciting concert by the ensemble risonanze erranti under the direction of Peter Tilling at the Schwere Reiter on 24 January 2024 at 8 pm. The occasion for the concert is the 100th birthday of the Italian composer Luigi Nono. The three composers of the evening – Luigi Nono, Hans Werner Henze and Karl Amadeus Hartmann – were linked by a close friendship and Hartmann is often cited as the mentor of the two much younger composers. The programme includes two works by Luigi Nono, his “Canti per 13” (1955) and the “Polifonica-Monodia-Ritmica per Ensemble” (1951) as well as Henze’s “Der Idiot” (1952) with paraphrases of Dostoyevsky on poems by Ingeborg Bachmann and Hartmann’s “Burleske Musik für Ensemble” (1931). In “Burleske Musik”, Hartmann takes up various musical trends of the time, including jazz elements, song style and allusions to Kurt Weill’s “Kleine Dreigroschenmusik”. The importance of “Burleske Musik” is also shown by the fact that it was not only his first work to appear in print, but was also dedicated to his future wife Elisabeth (born Reussmann).
