Georges Lentz

Georges Lentz is a contemporary composer and sound artist renowned for his ethereal and deeply evocative musical landscapes. Born in Luxembourg in 1965, Lentz has made Australia his home since 1990, becoming one of the country's most celebrated composers despite his reclusive nature. His music is profoundly inspired by the vast, starry night skies of the Australian Outback and the rich cultural heritage of Aboriginal art. Lentz's compositions, such as his monumental 43-hour fixed media collage and the 60-minute solo guitar work "Ingwe," offer a unique and immersive experience, blending classical techniques with the natural and spiritual elements that surround him. His works, including "String Quartet(s)" and "Caeli Enarrant," are celebrated for their ability to transport the listener to otherworldly realms, making Georges Lentz a pivotal figure in both Luxembourgish and Australian contemporary music.
