Wolfgang Rihm (born 13 March 1952) is a German composer of contemporary classical music and teacher. One of the most influential post-war European composers, alongside Helmut Lachenmann, Rihm is among the leading German composers of his time.[1][2] A prolific composer, his total output numbers more than 500 works,[3] although he is particularly known for his operas.[2] Associated with the New Simplicity style earlier in his career, his style has since extended to what The Guardian described as a "bewildering variety of styles and sounds".[4]
He is musical director of the Institute of New Music and Media at the University of Music Karlsruhe and has been a composer in residence at the Lucerne Festival and the Salzburg Festival. He was honoured as Officier of the Ordre des Arts et des Lettres in 2001.[5] His students include the composers Rebecca Saunders and Jörg Widmann.
