Life and work

Manz was born in Hanover,[2] the son of the pianists Wolfgang Manz and Julia Goldstein, daughter of the Soviet violinist Boris Goldstein. At the age of six, Manz was member of a boys' choir in Hanover.[3] He received his first clarinet lessons at the age of seven with Wilfried Berk at the Hanover Music School. From 1994 to 2002, Manz won numerous prizes at Jugend musiziert.[4] In 1997, at the age of eleven, he was accepted as a junior student at the Musikhochschule Lübeck.[5] From 2003 to 2010 he was a regular student there. He studied under Sabine Meyer and Reiner Wehle.[6][7]

In 1999, Manz made his first tour as a soloist to Poland with the orchestra of the Hanover Music School.[8] He also performed at the EXPO 2000 as a soloist.[9]

In 2006, Manz was invited to the Schubertiade festival in Japan, where he performed both chamber music and as a soloist.[10]

In 2008, Manz won the first prize in clarinet at the ARD International Music Competition, which had not been awarded for 40 years.[11] This was immediately followed by performances with the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra, the SWR Symphonieorchester, the Deutsche Radio Philharmonie Saarbrücken Kaiserslautern and the Collegium Musicum in Basel.[3]

Since 2010, he has been solo clarinetist in the Stuttgart Radio Symphony Orchestra, since 2016 in the SWR Symphonieorchester.[12][7]

In his debut at the Tonhalle Zürich on 4 May 2010 he played Mozart's Clarinet Concerto with the Nordwestdeutsche Philharmonie conducted by their designated chief conductor Eugene Tzigane.[13] From the 2012–13 to the 2014–15 season he was an artist in the "Junge Wilde" series at the Konzerthaus Dortmund.[14]

Manz participates on the "Rhapsody in School" project founded by Lars Vogt, in which classical musicians go to schools to introduce students to their music.[15][16][17]

In the 2017–2018 season, he debuted with the NHK Symphony Orchestra in Tokyo and the Royal Seville Symphony Orchestra.[18]

Manz was invited to the Schwetzingen Festival, Rheingau Musik Festival and Heidelberger Frühling.[3] In the 2021–22 season, he was on an Asia tour with the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center with concerts in Taiwan, Japan and China.[19] His chamber music partners have been Felix Klieser, Tanja Tetzlaff and Wen Xiao Zheng,[19] performing Beethoven's Septet.[20] Manz played concerts with the Yomiuri Nippon Symphony Orchestra in Japan.[21] In the 2022–23 season, he was a guest at the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center in New York City.[2]

He is also active in the jazz field, predominantly with his own arrangements, which he realises mainly with the jazz musician Sebastian Studnitzky.[22]
