Bernd Richard Deutsch

Bernd Richard Deutsch is an Austrian composer and organist known for his dynamic, genre-blurring works that bridge contemporary classical music with bold sonic experimentation. Born in 1977 in Graz, he studied at the University of Music and Performing Arts Graz and has become a standout voice in modern composition. His pieces—like the swirling organ textures of *Organ Concerto "Okeanos"* (premiered by the Cleveland Orchestra) or the sci-fi-inspired electronic layers of *Dr. Futurity*—merge orchestral tradition with futuristic flair. Deutsch’s music often explores mythic themes, as heard in the dramatic orchestral gestures of *Phantasma*. A frequent collaborator with top ensembles like the Vienna Philharmonic, he’s earned awards including the 2015 Music Prize of the City of Graz. Whether writing for concert halls or avant-garde projects, Deutsch keeps listeners on the edge of their seats with his electric, storytelling-driven soundscapes.
