WORLDPREMIERE SYMPHONIC POEM "WUHAN 2020"
On August 14th - after endless postponements - the premiere of my orchestral work "WUHAN 2020" took place, which was commissioned by the Beijing Symphony Orchestra in February 2020 and which I composed in only nine days... Li Biao conducted the concert, which was highly acclaimed in Beijing, and which was then played in an 8-city tour (with an orchestra of 90 musicians). Following the concert, Li Biao was appointed General Music Director and Artistic Director of this renowned orchestra....
Since then, I see concert life in Asia blossoming again... The Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra was since 8 November on a two-week tour of Japan with Valery Gergiev (Tchaikovsky's No. 6 was dedicated to the victims of the Vienna terror attacks). - On 29 November, the Chinese premiere of the new extended version (40 min.) of Enjott Schneider's "JI YING - Concerto for Sheng & Chinese Orchestra", took place in the Concert Hall Shanghai: Zheng FA was soloist, Yao Shenshen conducted the Shanghai Chinese Orchestra.... A great honour for me and a great hope that we in Europe will also emerge from the crippling Covid19 lockdown!

KOMPONIEREN ZU ÖKOLOGISCH-POLITISCHEN THEMEN
Musik darf nicht nur L'ART POUR L'ART sein, sondern sollte sich - wenigsten in meiner ethischen Ausrichtung - den Themen wie Ökologie, Naturerhalt und Wahrung der Schöpfung stellen. Dahinter steht ein im Grundsatz humanistisches Weltbild, das sich an Friede und Achtung aller Mitmenschen orientiert, und (mir) Grundausrichtung eines zutiefst kreativen Schaffens ist.
