Franz Cibulka

Cibulka achieved an international reputation following the performance in 1997 of several of his works at the World Association for Symphonic Bands and Ensembles (WASBE) held in Schladming, Austria.

He was later invited to Australia, America, Russia, and many European countries as a composer, conductor, performer, juror, and lecturer.

[1] His list of works includes more than 300 compositions of the most diverse instrumentation and styles resulting from his artistic collaboration with various performers.

This can be thoroughly felt in pieces such as Aquarius, in which he transformed his despair about humans' misuse of nature into an exceptional musical work.

Cibulka's compositions were championed in Australia and were performed by the Heidelberg Wind Ensemble of Melbourne.
