BIOGRAPHY

               Manos Tsangaris was born in Düsseldorf in 1956 and studied composition and New Music
               Theatre with Mauricio Kagel and percussion with Christoph Caskel at the Musikhochschule
               (Academy of Music) in Cologne.

               Since the 1970s, Manos Tsangaris has consistently made the conditions of a performance the
               central focus for compositions in various artistic formats.

               In 1991, Tsangaris was Composer in Residence in Moscow at the invitation of the Soviet Union
               of Composers. In the same year, he initiated the ‘Praemoderne’ congress in Cologne. In 1991 he
               received the Bernd Alois Zimmermann Grant from the City of Cologne, and in 1993/94 a grant
               from the ‘Akademie Schloss Solitude’, Stuttgart. In 1997 he was presented with the Art Award of
               the Berlin Academy of Arts. In 1998 he stayed at the Villa Serpentara, Olevano, and in 2009 he
               was guest of honour at the Villa Massimo in Rome.

               In 1991 he lectured at the summer academy Civitella d’Agliano (Italy), in 2002 he taught
               transdisciplinary composition at NY Musikk in Oslo and Stavanger (Norway) and in 2003 at the
               KlangKunstBühne summer academy of the Berlin University of the Arts. In 2007/08 he was in
               charge of the academy project of the European Center of the Arts in Dresden at the Hellerau
               Festival Centre with 20 recipients of grants.

               Manos Tsangaris’s compositions are regularly performed at internationally renowned festivals
               such as the Donaueschingen Festival, Witten Festival for New Chamber Music, the Belgrade
               International Theatre Festival, the Ultima Festival in Oslo, the ‘TonLagen’ festival in Dresden, the
               Warsaw Autumn Festival and in theatres and opera houses in Cologne, New York, Mannheim,
               Dresden and Berlin. Manos Tsangaris has also often been commissioned by German radio
               broadcasters to write compositions. Among other things, he composed a large-scale orchestral
               work for the 10th anniversary of the Cologne Philharmonie concert hall. For his multi-site theatre
               piece Batsheba. Eat the History!, first performed in 2009 at the Donaueschingen Festival, Manos
               Tsangaris received the composition prize awarded by the SWR Symphony Orchestra.

               Since 1990, his installations and other art works have been regularly exhibited by important
               galleries and museums in Germany and abroad. The Cologne Diözesanmuseum and the Odense
               Art Gallery (Denmark), among other venues, have devoted solo exhibitions to his work. Concert
               tours have taken him to many countries in Europe, to North America and to Asia.

BIOGRAPHY

            From 2002 to 2007, Manos Tsangaris was artistic advisor to the director of the Cologne
            Schauspielhaus. Since 2004, he has taught at the International Holiday Courses for New Music
            in Darmstadt, and since 2008 he has been the guest curator for sound in Kolumba, the art gallery
            of the archdiocese of Cologne. In 2009, he was appointed as professor of composition at the
            Hochschule für Musik (University of Music) in Dresden. In the same year, he was elected as a full
            member of the Berlin Academy of Arts, where he has headed the music department since 2012.
            In 2010 Manos Tsangaris was elected as a full member of the Sächsische Akademie der Künste
            (Saxon Academy of Arts), and in 2011 as the deputy secretary in the music category there. In
            2011, he founded the ‘International Institute for Artistic Investigation’ and undertook research in
            the area of scenic anthropology. In the study year 2012/13 Tsangaris was Artist in Residence at
            the Zurich University of the Arts (Master’s course Transdisciplinarity). In the study year 2017/18
            he will be Visiting Professor at the Norwegian Academy of Music.

            Since 2016 he is co-artistic director with Daniel Ott of the Munich Biennale - Festival of New
            Music Theater. In 2017 Tsangaris was elected full member of the The Bavarian Academy of Fine
            Arts.

            “Manos Tsangaris’s compositional work focuses on the question of how the various media-
            related areas of human perception can be meaningfully combined. In the process, the activity
            of composing does not just refer to placing things together (com-posing), but at the same time
            to the preceding experimental exploration of the interfaces where media connections are made
            possible in the first place. This expansion of the traditional concept of composition is matched
            by the variety of the possible results. In the past 25 years, in addition to musical compositions,
            Tsangaris has created poems, prose, installations and other art works. Although his works in
            the field of language and pictures can very much be seen as independent in their own right,
            their combination and synthesis in a form of universally understood music theatre is the central
            element of his artistic activity.” (Raoul Mörchen)
