Emanuel Reichert-Lübbert (born 1998) is a composer and violinist. His work is deeply rooted in the tradition of European art music, blending it with the awareness and expressive power of contemporary musical currents.

"The tension between theory and practice is the fascinating space where thoughts, feelings, and concepts become tangible reality.
Here, forms come alive, and it reveals how even the slightest changes in practical and theoretical parameters have a profound impact on the listening experience."
Currently, Reichert-Lübbert is pursuing a Master of Music (MMus) in violin at the Hochschule für Musik Mainz and advanced composition studies at the Akademie für Tonkunst Darmstadt. His compositions have received numerous awards, including the Composition Prize of the Wiesbadener Staatstheater and the Composition Advancement Award of the 'Prinzessin Margaret von Hessen' Competition.

Emanuel Reichert-Lübbert is a student at the Hochschule für Musik Mainz, where he is pursuing a Master's degree in Violin under Prof. Benjamin Bergmann and Prof. Anne Shih.
He also completed his Bachelor of Music there in 2023. Simultaneously, he is dedicating himself to composition in an advanced artistic studies program at the Akademie für Tonkunst under Prof. Il-Ryun Chung.

Further collaborations as a composer have included projects with the Asian Art Ensemble, Ensemble Phorminx, Olga Bechtold, Anna-Sophie Brüning, Patrick Lange, Gordon Gerrard, the Orchestra of the Hochschule für Musik Mainz, and the Mainzer Virtuosi.
