Debut at the Salzburg Festival. Sebastian Manz is a chamber-music partner of Christiane Karg, Renaud Capuçon, Katja Lämmermann, Antoine Tamestit, Clemens Hagen, Alois Posch, Albrecht Mayer, Magali Mosnier, Herbert Schuch, Gereon Kleiner, Leo Schmidinger and Martin Grubinger. Austrian radio station ORF 2 and the 3sat TV channel broadcast the opening concert at 11 am.
It has just been announced that Sebastian Manz will receive the 2011 ECHO Klassik award in the category “Newcomer of the Year”.
There has been released the first recording of the Duo Riul at the label GENUIN Classics. Sebastian Manz plays together with his duo partner, pianist Martin Klett, works by Brahms, Berg, Debussy, Lutoslawsky and Yun.
Sebastian Manz makes his first appearance with ARD prizewinners Ramón Ortega Quero (oboe), Marc Trenel (bassoon) and David Alonso (horn) at concerts in Polling and Munich. The piano part in the Mozart and Beethoven quintets is being played by Herbert Schuch.
On September 25, Sebastian Manz plays for the first time in his new position as solo clarinettist with the Stuttgart Radio Symphony Orchestra of the SWR broadcasting station.
Another important debut, this time at the Konzerthaus in Vienna. Sebastian Manz is playing Nielsen's Clarinet Concerto with the Vienna Chamber Orchestra, the concerto that won him the 57th ARD International Music Competition.
Sebastian Manz debuts with Mozart's Clarinet Concerto in the Zurich Tonhalle and takes his audience by storm. The North West German Philharmonic thrills under its new Principal Conductor Eugene Tzigane.
“… He lets the mood topple into grotesque squeaking, gives helter-skelter cascades of notes sense and meaning and in his solo cadenzas enters into a furious dialogue with himself. That generates a power of suggestion that nobody in the Europasaal of the Osnabrückhalle arts centre can resist.”
