Musiksalon // Extra: Portrait concert Sidney Corbett by Various, sø. 03 april 2022, Fra (2022/2022), Dirigent Elias Corrinth, Nationaltheater, Mannheim, Germany

The Mannheim composer Sidney Corbett began his musical career as a guitarist in Los Angeles. After studying at Yale, he moved to Germany, where he became a student of György Ligeti. Corbett's characteristic musical language testifies to his sensitivity to influences from all genres of art from literature to painting and is reflected in a wide oeuvre from chamber music to opera. Since 2006 he has been a composition professor at the Mannheim Music Academy and it is impossible to imagine the local music scene without him. On the occasion of his 60th birthday, the NTM is presenting a veritable Sidney Corbett focus this season, which will open with the portrait concert in the music salon. Various chamber music works from a cappella singing to sextet can be heard. In the 2nd Academy Concert on November 29th and 30th, 2021, his new orchestral work »Violence and Longing« will be premiered in the Rosengarten and in spring the chamber opera »Keine Stille« can be experienced in the Studio Werkhaus.
