German Sythesist Thomas
Lehn
Workshop on lectro-acoustic Improvised Music at UMBC
University of Maryland Baltimore County
Music and Fine Arts Building, Room 508
Since the early 1980s Thomas Lehn has been working as a performer,
interpreter, composer and improviser of contemporary music.
His individual style of musical expression is rooted in the
experience of a broad spectrum of musical fields. As an interpreting
pianist he has played concerts since 1982 - performing both
contemporary new music including numerous first performances
and traditional composed music of the classical and romantically
period. In 1989 he initiated the chamber ensemble Trio Dario
and four years later the Mengano Quartett. Focussed on performing
compositions of the contemporary avant-garde, he is pianist
of the Nova Ensemble Wuppertal. These days, he is best known
as a master of the synthesizer, an instrument of which many
consider him to be one of the formost living exponent. As part
of the workshop, he will play solo.
