Titus Engel

Titus Engel is a dynamic conductor known for his sharp interpretations of contemporary and avant-garde classical music. With a knack for bringing complex modern compositions to life, he’s become a go-to collaborator for living composers like Bernhard Gander and Chaya Czernowin, whose boundary-pushing works (including recent releases like *Monsters and Angels* and *Shifting Gravity*) thrive under his precise yet expressive direction. Engel frequently works with ensembles like Klangforum Wien and champions both established innovators and rising voices in new music, making him a bridge between experimental creators and curious audiences.

Based in Europe, Engel studied conducting in Zurich and Vienna, cutting his teeth on challenging 20th/21st-century repertoire. His passion for sonic exploration extends beyond the concert hall—he’s a regular at festivals like Donaueschingen and Salzburg, where fresh compositions meet adventurous listeners. Whether he’s dissecting dense orchestral textures or spotlighting solo works (like Joanna Wozny’s *As in a Mirror, Darkly*), Engel’s energy and clarity keep contemporary classical music fiercely alive.
