Hans Vogt (composer)

Hans Vogt (14 May 1911 Danzig-19 May 1992 Metterich, Eifel) was a German composer, conductor and writer on music. He attended Georg Schumann’s composition masterclass at the Prussian Academy of Arts (1929–34), while simultaneously studying at the Akademie der Künste (diploma 1934) and Berlin University. He went on to serve as répétiteur at the theatre in Bielefeld (1934), head of opera in Detmold (1935–8) and city music director in Stralsund (1938–44). After military service during World War II, he devoted himself primarily to composition. In 1951 he was appointed to the Städtische Hochschule für Musik at Mannheim (later the Heidelberg-Mannheim Hochschule); he also taught at Heidelberg University. Co-founder of the Gesellschaft für Neue Musik, Mannheim (1963), he served as its director until 1984. His honours include the Düsseldorf Schumann prize (1955), the Prix Reine Elisabeth de Belgique (1961, 1969), the Stuttgart Stamitz prize (1967) and the Premio Città di Trieste (1968); he was also guest of honour at the Villa Massimo, Rome (1978–9).

A prolific composer, Vogt's compositions encompass numerous orchestral works, chamber works, vocal art songs, songs for solo instrument, sacred music, and two operas.
