His last solo album, ‘Neapel’, was shortlisted for the ‘Preis der deutschen Schallplattenkritik’ in the category Grenzgänge (borderlines). For the ‘Münchner Volkstheater’ he composed the sound track for the acclaimed production of ‘Brave New World’, now in its fourth season and praised by critics and audiences. With his band ‘5/8erl in Ehr´n’ Wenger is a five-times winner of the ‘Amadeus Austrian Music Awards’, most recently in 2020.
