50 YEARS
ON STAGE
Anne-Sophie Mutter:
50 years on stage – with curiosity, commitment and creative drive for the future of musick
The exceptional artist is celebrating her anniversary year with her own series of contemporary music recordings on Alpha Classics, a major retrospective on Deutsche Grammophon, commissioned works, benefit concerts and concerts at historic locations from her career.
Five decades on the world’s great stages – and no sign of slowing down: in 2026 and 2027, Anne-Sophie Mutter will celebrate her extraordinary stage anniversary with an artistic programme that focuses on the future. For almost half a century, the four-time GRAMMY® winner has been a driving force in international music life. As one of the most important German artists of our time, she has inspired numerous composers to write new works: Krzysztof Penderecki and Sofia Gubaidulina wrote works for her, as did John Williams and Max Richter. This has already resulted in 34 works and arrangements composed especially for her. An inspiration to entire generations of musicians and a tireless questioner of the classical repertoire, Anne-Sophie Mutter is an artist of new beginnings: curious, daring and open to what music can be today and tomorrow.
Anne-Sophie Mutter launches new recording series “ASM Forte Forward” on Alpha Classics.
The new series ASM Forte Forward is dedicated exclusively to contemporary compositions. Each album features works written specifically for Anne-Sophie Mutter. The first album, East Meets West, will be released on March 27, 2026.
In 2026 and 2027, Anne-Sophie Mutter celebrates a major milestone: 50 years on the world’s leading stages. She uses this momentous occasion to open new paths as a soloist, chamber musician, mentor, commissioner of new music, and record producer. Anne-Sophie Mutter says: “I choose to be more than a guardian of traditions. Music lives as we renew it and pass it on.”
An inspiration to entire generations of musicians and an indefatigable icon of classical music, Anne-Sophie Mutter remains an artist in motion: curious, bold, and open to what music can be today and tomorrow. For decades, she has been commissioning works from today’s most exciting composers and supporting young performers. With ASM Forte Forward, Mutter launches her own series of recordings on Alpha Classics. She works alongside musical friends, including both current and former scholarship recipients of the Anne-Sophie Mutter Foundation.
