Sebastian Manz, international soloist, chamber musician, and Principal Clarinetist of the SWR Symphony Orchestra, had a breakthrough in 2008 when he won first prize in the clarinet category of the ARD International Music Competition in Munich. Manz subsequently received the Echo Klassik prize three times for outstanding CD recordings, as well as the sought-after Lincoln Center Emerging Artist Award. In addition to solo engagements throughout Europe, including with the Robert-Schumann-Philharmonie and the Sinfonierorchester Liechtenstein, he will be a guest of the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center during the 2024–25 season. Manz’s enthusiasm for arranging and composing is reflected in his concert programs and in his discography, which have won numerous awards.
