Georg Friedrich Haas Tickets

Georg Friedrich Haas, born 16 August 1953 in Graz, Austria, is a pivotal voice in contemporary classical music, advancing spectral composition and micropolyphony. As a professor of composition at Columbia University since September 2013, Haas has shaped a generation of composers while continuing to compose and perform works that challenge perception and expand orchestral palette.

Known for pushing the boundaries of tuning and texture, Haas creates immersive soundscapes where microtonal detail and harmonic evolution unfold with patient clarity. His music is regularly performed by major orchestras and ensembles around the world, and he maintains active collaboration with publishers and institutions to bring his ideas to life.

Key works include in vain (2000) for 24 instruments, the opera Morgen und Abend (2015), and 11.000 Saiten (2020) for 50 microtuned pianos and orchestra, which had its world premiere in 2023. Haas has been honored with prestigious prizes such as the Grand Austrian State Prize for Music (2007) and the SWR Symphony Orchestra Composition Prize (2010) for limited approximations, along with multiple recognitions in 2012 and 2013 from Vienna, Salzburg, and Universal Edition.

The 2025 North American premiere of 11.000 Saiten is set for Park Avenue Armory in New York City, running from September 30 to October 7, 2025, marking a significant milestone in his ongoing international touring and collaboration with leading venues and performers.
