The catalog of works of the German composer Stefan Heucke (*1959) comprises more than 120 works of all genres, operas, oratorios, symphonies, concertos, sacred music, chamber music and songs. His works are performed throughout the world by prominent orchestras and soloists, and his works are available as CDs and radio productions. Heucke’s opera, “The Women’s Orchestra of Auschwitz” (2006) cased quite a sensation. In 2016, the new Bochum concert hall opened its doors with Heucke's cantata "Baruch ata Adonaij - Blessed be you Lord."

Other significant recent activity includes a feature-length "German Mass" for soloists, chorus and orchestra premiered in 2017 at the Luther anniversary in Berlin by the Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester and the Berliner Rundfunkchor. In 2021 Heucke had three commissions for two new operas, and he has been asked for a Markus after St. Mark for soloists, chorus and orchestra for the Bach-Fest Münster in 2024.

Heucke has been composer-in-residence at several orchestras and international festivals and from 2016, he works biennially as composer-in-residence at the Staunton Music Festival in the USA.  

Heucke works are published by Schott Music International since 1996. He lives as a freelance composer alternately in Germany and in Italy.
