Drama
Georg Clementi was born in Bolzano on the day of the moon landing. He began his career as a singer-songwriter at a very young age and today also works as an actor and director in Salzburg. His songs have received multiple awards. In 2012, he won both the Audience Prize and the 1st Jury Prize at the “Troubadour” competition in Stuttgart, as well as Silver at the Potsdam Chanson Festival. Time and again, his songs appear on the German Liederbestenliste, and Mirjam Jessa declared his album “Zeitlieder” on Ö1 as the “Discovery of the Year.” At the Liederfest in Hoyerswerda, he immediately won the 1st Audience Prize and the 2nd Jury Prize – the “Hoyschrecke.” Gerd Heger, “Monsieur Chanson” of Saarländischer Rundfunk, says of Georg Clementi: “In German chanson, there is currently little that is better.”
As an actor, he has been closely connected with the Salzburg State Theatre since 1993. He also works as a director and has been the artistic director of the Salzburg Street Theatre since 2016.
Together with Harald Martenstein, the star columnist of ZEIT-Magazin, he tours with the program “Martenstein liest & Clementi singt” (“Martenstein Reads & Clementi Sings”). With guitarist Ossy Pardeller, he founded the singer-songwriter duo “Die Clempanei,” presenting songs with profound lyrics and virtuosic guitar artistry (available at www.clempanei.at
