ABOUT

Søren Nils Eichberg is one of Europe’s leading contemporary composers. Born in Germany and raised in Denmark, he lives in Berlin and is internationally recognised for his operas, symphonies, and large-scale vocal works. His music combines German expressive depth with Scandinavian clarity, resulting in a highly individual artistic voice that has resonated with audiences and critics alike and is been performed by major orchestras, opera houses and festivals across Europe, Asia, and North America.

At the core of Eichberg’s work lie questions of identity, freedom and humanity’s search for meaning and orientation in an increasingly complex world. As the first Composer-in-Residence of the Danish National Symphony Orchestra and a long-standing collaborator of artists such as Hilary Hahn, he has created a body of work distinguished by both intellectual depth and emotional immediacy.
