Arnulf Herrmann, born in Heidelberg in 1968, is one of the most distinctive voices in contemporary German music. His works have been performed at festivals such as the Donaueschingen Festival, the Munich Biennale, Wien Modern, Ultraschall Berlin, Eclat Stuttgart and Musica Strasbourg, and interpreted by ensembles including Ensemble Modern, Ensemble intercontemporain, Klangforum Wien and MusikFabrik NRW.
Herrmann's compositional output ranges from chamber music to opera. His opera Wasser was premiered in 2012 as part of the Munich Biennale by Ensemble Modern, and his second opera, Der Mieter - based on motifs from the novel by Roland Topor - was premiered in November 2017 at Oper Frankfurt, conducted by Kazushi Ōno and directed by Johannes Erath, with a libretto by Händl Klaus.
Herrmann has received numerous awards for his work: the Hanns Eisler Composition Prize in 2001, the City of Stuttgart Composition Prize in 2003, the UNESCO International Rostrum of Composers prize for his piece Terzenseele in 2006, the Berlin Förderpreis Musik in 2008, and the Ernst von Siemens Förderpreis in 2010.
