Reinhard Febel is one of the most prolific contemporary composers and is best known for his operas and music theater works. These include, among others, \u201cEuridice\u201d at the Bavarian State Opera (1983), \u201cSekunden und Jahre das Kaspar Hauser\u201d at the Theater Dortmund (1992), \u201cBesuchszeit\u201d at the Theater Bonn (2001), and \u201cRaum 17\u201d at the Kiel Opera (2009), for some of which he also wrote the libretti.  <\/p><p>Reinhard Febel studied composition in Freiburg im Breisgau with Klaus Huber and took courses in electronic music at IRCAM in Paris. After six years working as a freelance composer in London, he assumed the professorship in composition and music theory at the University of Music and Drama in Hanover in 1989. Since 1997, he has been a professor of composition at the Mozarteum in Salzburg.  <\/p><p>In addition, Reinhard Febel spent a great deal of time abroad on study visits, teaching assignments, and composition commissions. These included guest lectures in New Zealand, Latvia, and South Korea; composition courses in South America; workshops in the U.S. and Japan; and a master class in composition at the Salzburg Summer Academy, to name just a few.<br\/>He has also authored several literary works, including two collections of short stories and two novels. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3ef72e4 elementor-blockquote--skin-quotation elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-blockquote\" data-id=\"3ef72e4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"blockquote.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<blockquote class=\"elementor-blockquote\">\n\t\t\t<p class=\"elementor-blockquote__content\">\n\t\t\t\tI'm not entirely sure whether simplicity has ever been the opposite of complexity.\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-q-footer\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<cite class=\"elementor-blockquote__author\">Reinhard Febel<\/cite>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/blockquote>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ddd6637 elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-html\" data-id=\"ddd6637\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"html.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<iframe data-testid=\"embed-iframe\" style=\"border-radius:12px\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/album\/5uXXlAtvn1zOOtrHNMX1w0?utm_source=generator&si=71dca47e80144cee\" width=\"100%\" height=\"352\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"\" allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/iframe>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Composer in Residence Reinhard Febel \u201cFebel plays with timbres with virtuosity [\u2026].
