Wolfgang Rihm (1952-2024)

With great sorrow over the loss of the patron of our European Chamber Music Competition Karlsruhe, we remember Prof. Dr. h.c. Wolfgang Rihm.

Last Saturday, July 27, 2024, the Karlsruhe native, regarded as one of the greatest contemporary composers, passed away after a long, severe illness. Wolfgang Rihm will be remembered not only for his works but also for his understanding and humorous nature, which distinguished him as a person. His steadfast commitment to music, art, and culture will never be forgotten, especially in his hometown, and it will continue to inspire future generations of artists.
