Information: Composer Stefan HAKENBERG was born in 1960 in Wuppertal, Germany. His work includes a wide variety of musical media. The integration of players of non-western classical background has particularly shaped HAKENBERG's creative thought. Reviewers have praised his music as "highly original," "dramatic and memorable," "creating strong musical expressions in a densely contrapuntal style." Full of innovations his work is an ongoing reflection on the musical styles of today that he culls along an international career that has taken him from Cologne's experimental 80s New Music scene to Boston's 90s multicultural academic world, to the particularly Asian combination of influences in Seoul, Korea at the turn of the millennium. HAKENBERG has served as the director of the Public Music School Division of the Darmstadt Academy for Musical Arts. He is also a founder of the Alaskan contemporary music organization "CrossSound," (http://www.stefanhakenberg.com/BPht/bio.html)
