During April 16 and 18 Sebastian Manz and his piano partner Martin Klett will do as “Duo Riul” their first CD recording together in Berlin.
Sebastian Manz will make his first appearance in Salzburg's Festspielhaus with the Nordwestdeutsche Philharmonie under the direction of Simon Gaudenz as the soloist in Mozart's Clarinet Concerto.
Sebastian Manz will be heard in Jean Francaix's Clarinet Concerto on BR-Klassik. From 10.05 am, Bavarian Radio's classical music programme will be broadcasting the live recording of the Munich concert of January 6.
Sebastian Manz is active in the “Rhapsody in School” project. Begun on the initiative of pianist Lars Vogt, the aim is for leading artists to visit schools and get children and teenagers interested and enthusiastic about music. Sebastian Manz's first school visit will be in Hof (Bavaria).
Jean Francaix's Clarinet Concerto of 1967 is one of the most challenging in the clarinet literature. Sebastian Manz is playing it with the Bavarian Youth Orchestra for the first time, in Neumarkt, Weiden, Munich, Rosenheim and Sulzbach-Rosenberg.
From December 3 to 12, Sebastian Manz is touring with the Nordwestdeutsche Philharmonie under the direction of Simon Gudenz in Minden, Herford, Bad Salzuflen, Detmold, Wilhelmshaven and Paderborn. The programme features Mozart's Clarinet Concerto
The virtuoso concerto by Julius Rietz (1812–1877), a close friend of Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy and conductor at the Leipzig Gewandhaus, is a true rediscovery for the clarinet repertoire. Sebastian Manz played it for the first time on November 10 and 11 in Solingen and Remscheid respectively with the Bergisch Symphony Orchestra conducted by Peter Kuhn.
“… 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.”
