Mathias Hinke

Mathias Hinke is a Berlin-based composer, artist, and educator whose interdisciplinary work operates at the intersection of experimental music, pedagogy, and theater. His background includes composition studies complemented by art history, fine art, and physics. Since 1997, his artistic practice has been intrinsically linked to pedagogical work, as reflected in his work within the educational project QuerKlang, a guest professorship at the Universität der Künste Berlin, and his current fellowship researching somatic knowledge in music theater at the Freie Universität Berlin. His award-winning music theater works, often created with director Carlos Manuel, explore sociopolitical themes from synthetic biology to sci-fi. Hinke also publishes on experimental pedagogy, and his compositions are performed internationally. He currently serves as a juror for the Haupstadtkulturfonds Berlin and as co-artistic director of the Young Euro Classic festival.
