Fabia Mantwill
Jazz / Orchestral / Contemporary
Berlin composer, conductor and saxophonist (German Jazz Prize 2021) whose Orchestra expands the big-band sound with strings and harp.
Fabia Mantwill is a Berlin-based composer, conductor and saxophonist and a recipient of the 2021 German Jazz Prize in the category Arrangement of the Year (for "Ophelia"). She holds a Master of Music & Composition from HfMT Hamburg and a Bachelor in Jazz from the Jazz-Institut Berlin, and was a guest student at the Sibelius Academy in Helsinki in 2015. With her Fabia Mantwill Orchestra — a signature jazz chamber orchestra — she challenges the traditional big-band sound by treating strings and harp as an integral component of her large-scale orchestral conception. She has worked with artists such as Vince Mendoza, Kurt Elling, Becca Stevens and the Metropole Orkest, and since 2022 has served as artistic director of the Berlin Youth Jazz Orchestra.
