Born July 16th 1973 in Crailsheim/Germany, living in Leipzig, working as a freelance composer and as a teacher of music theory at the University of Music and Theater "Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy" in Leipzig/Germany. Most of the recordings of my music here are digital sound files from Sibelius/Note Performer. Unfortunately, it's only seldom that I get the chance to have my music performed and recorded live. Some pieces have never been performed (e.g. "Stabat Mater" or "Mädchen, zieht den Vorhang zu"), others by non professionals with a lot of mistakes, so that you can't really enjoy the recordings (e.g. "Feste Burg - weiter Raum"), others (like "Vier geistliche Abendlieder" or "Prélude à la memoire de A.C.D.") have been performed quite fine, but no recording at all or no technically satisfying recording has been taken of it. I hope that I will be able to add some new nice live recordings from time to time to my tracklist. Meanwhile some of the digital sound files and of course the few recordings with real musicians (e.g. "Ausgegrenzt", "Melancolia", "Ave Maris Stella") hopefully will serve to provide listeners with at least an idea of what my musical fantasy sounds like.

German composer Jan Esra Kuhl (b. 1988) studied composition with Jörg Widmann and Brice Pauset in Freiburg and with Johannes Schöllhorn in Cologne. A recipient of several prizes and scholarships such as the Art Mentor Foundation Lucerne Award for young composers in 2015 and a residency at Akademie Schloss Solitude in Stuttgart, Kuhl was commissioned and has had his music performed by leading ensembles such as ensemble recherche, Armida Quartett, Lucerne Symphony Orchestra and Tokyo Metropolitan Orchestra at venues such as KKL Lucerne, Theaterhaus Stuttgart, Gamle Logen Oslo, Konzerthaus Berlin and Suntory Hall Tokyo.
