Søren Nils Eichberg

about

The last few years has definitely established Søren Nils Eichberg's name as an important composer. When Eichberg’s chamber opera Glare (2014) opened at Royal Opera Covent Garden in London in November 2014, Richard Morrison in The Times wrote „I can’t remember a more gripping 75 minutes of avant-garde music-theatre“ and gave it five out of five stars. Only a few months later Hilary Hahn’s Deutsche Grammophone album 27 Encores featuring Eichberg’s Levitation was awarded a GRAMMY award. Eichberg was born in 1973 in Stuttgart, Germany, grew up in Denmark and today lives and works in Berlin. He studied piano and orchestra conducting in Copenhagen and Cologne, but his break-through came as a composer when winning the Queen Elisabeth Competition of Belgium in 2001. Since then, he has risen to become one of the most distinctive composers of his generation, in 2010-2015 becoming the first composer-in-residence in the history of the Danish National Radio Symphony Orchestra, one of the leading orchestras in Scandinavia. Eichberg’s works have been performed in most European countries as well as in Japan, China, Korea, Australia and the US and have been radio broadcast in the US and europewide. He has been commissioned works by Ensemble Modern, Hilary Hahn, Royal Opera London, Mahler Chamber Orchestra, The Brodsky Quartet and worked with conductors like Kristjan Järvi, Rafael Frühbeck de Burgos, Vassily Petrenko, Christoph Poppen, Robert Spano and Franck Ollu. His output since 2001 incl
