Article: HANS WERNER HENZE 'MUSIC IS A LANGUAGE OF WHICH WE DON'T KNOW ENOUGH YET'

LENOX - Hans Werner Henze, the eminent German composer, is in residence this summer at Tanglewood. Performances of his music will be an important feature of the annual Festival of Contemporary Music there Thursday through Aug. 10. On Saturday, Seiji Ozawa will conduct the Boston Symphony Orchestra in Henze's Seventh Symphony. On Sunday, Aug. 7, students of the Tanglewood Music Center will perform Henze's opera "Elegy for Young Lovers," which, like Stravinsky's "The Rake's Progress," boasts a libretto by W. H. Auden and Chester Kallman. Then on Wednesday, Aug. 10, Henze himself will conduct the American premiere of his new cello concerto, "Sieben Liebeslieder," with Yo-Yo Ma as soloist.
