The Alban Berg Foundation is mourning Aribert Reimann, who died on 13 March 2024 aged 88. Besides his chamber and orchestral music, his creative work – which is closely linked to the human voice – developed above all in songs and operas, of which especially Lear and Medea are examples of his lasting legacy.

Aribert Reimann’s Trio for Violin, Viola and Violoncello (1986/87) was commissioned by the Foundation and is dedicated to the memory of Alban Berg.
