Clemens Wenger, MA – performer (piano, keyboards) & composer
Clemens Wenger, born 1982, lives and works in Vienna as musician and composer of contemporary jazz, pop and electronic music.
„Clemens Wenger has long become a key figure of the young scene in Vienna (...)“, Klaus Nüchtern writes in his portrait in FALTER magazine. Wenger initiated the JazzWerkstatt Wien, has directed this collective of musicians for 20 years now and heads the popular Viennese soul band 5/8erl in Ehr’n.
Recently he published Physics of Beauty, a selection of 32 compositions, as an interactive digital piece of art. www.physicsofbeauyt.art was noted internationally in music and design media, won the main Content Vienna award and got on the longlist 1/2021 for the Preis der deutschen Schallplattenkritik (German Record Critic’s Award) in the Electronics/Experimental category.
In 2022 Clemens Wenger and Mira Lu Kovacs jointly brought out Sad Songs To Cry To, a selection of songs from nearly 100 years of musical history. To euphoric reception by media and audiences, the pair played a series of sold-out concerts, from Wiener Konzerthaus to ARGE Salzburg, Treibhaus Innsbruck and back to Porgy & Bess in Vienna. At the Münchner Volkstheater Wenger wrote the soundtrack for the popular production of Brave New World. This stage music received special acclaim from press and audiences alike, and the play ran for four seasons. He also created music for other projects there. With his band 5/8erl in Ehr’n Wenger won the Amadeus Austrian Music Award six times, most recently in 2021.
