Jan Müller-Wieland

Jan Müller-Wieland is widely regarded as one of the most versatile and prolific composers of our time. Born in Hamburg in 1966, he has created, alongside fifteen stage works, a substantial body of orchestral compositions, while also maintaining a deep affinity for chamber music. His works are performed internationally by some of the most renowned soloists and ensembles.

He has served as Composer in Residence at the Menuhin Festival Gstaad, with the Beaux Arts Trio, and with the Tchaikovsky Symphony Orchestra in Moscow. His creative achievements have been recognized with numerous awards, including the Composers’ Prize of the Ernst von Siemens Music Foundation, the Hindemith Prize of the Schleswig-Holstein Music Festival, the Hamburg Bach Prize Fellowship, and the Main Prize of the Possehl Foundation Lübeck.

Müller-Wieland has also been the recipient of several prestigious residencies and fellowships in France, Italy, and the United States — among them at the Cité des Arts Internationales in Paris, Villa Massimo in Rome, the Tanglewood Music Center, and through the Leonard Bernstein Foundation Fellowship Program.

Since 2007, he has held a professorship in composition at the University of Music and Performing Arts Munich.
