Thomas Fortmann is a Swiss composer with strong roots and many years of experience in the rock music arena. Since switching his attention the contemporary classical field he has found a distinctive voice which has earned him fame and notoriety around Europe – an eclectic mix of serialism, jazz, blues, theater, circus and cabaret music makes his work varied and entertaining while often carrying (as with his Requiem for an Unborn Child) a serious message. Prolitheus Suite was given its US premiere at the Carnegie Hall after its first performance in Italy brought amazing accolades.
