Johannes Hofmann

Johannes Hofmann has been working since 2005 as a composer, theater musician and music producer as well as musical director. Already during his training as a media designer at Bayerischer Rundfunk he created his first compositions and sound collages for film and theater. He studied music - including composition (Prof. Daniel Ott and trumpet with Prof. Konradin Groth) at the University of Arts (UDK Berlin) and History at the Humboldt University in Berlin.
In his classical works, Johannes Hofmann often deals with current socio-critical topics, always in order to break up the often intellectual discourse through the music and thus enable an emotional access.
In his work "Humanity" Opus 53 for large choir, solo soprano and chamber orchestra, he addresses the theme of humanity in connection with refugees and the refugee crisis, his "Symphony No1" Op 56 for large orchestra, solo trumpet, solo cello and solo marimbaphone is dedicated to "100 years of German history" and the subject of the individual in different political systems. His last work for large choir, saxophone quartet and percussion quartet "Nihil Esse Respondendum" is dedicated to the subject of tolerance for ambiguity and diversity.
