Thomas Schmidt-Kowalski (21 June 1949 – 5 January 2013) was a German composer. Schmidt-Kowalski was born at Oldenburg in 1949. He studied composition at the Academy of Music and Dramatic Arts in Berlin under Frank Michael Beyer (1971) and at the Musikhochschule Hannover under Alfred Koerppen (1972–77). In the view of critic Jill Barlow, Schmidt-Kowalski “manages to bypass 20th-century modernism by doing a ‘Sturm und Drang’ of his own in 21st-century terms, making himself a ‘must’ for today’s German concert, disc, and radio audiences.” References
