Successful start into the new season for our conductors

The start to the new season could not have been more different for our conductors:

Svetoslav Borisov conducted performances of The Flying Dutchman and La Traviata at the Varna Summer Theatre and on the opera stage in Bansko in August and early September.  Florian Csizmadia started the new season of the Vorpommern Philharmonic Orchestra with a world première by Sebastian Hilli and Anton Bruckner’s Symphony No. 7. Paul Goodwin was once again a guest of the Baroque Vocal Academy Mainz in August to work with young singers and the Neumeyer Consort on Handel’s opera Alcina. Shao-Chia Lü travelled to South Korea, where he conducted works by Shostakovich with the KBS Symphony Orchestra and Leonidas Kavakos. Ewa Strusińska was also drawn to faraway places: at the end of August, she conducted two concerts with the Johannesburg Philharmonic Orchestra and the KwaZulu-Natal Philharmonic Orchestra with works by Barber and Schumann.

An auspicious start to the 2024/2025 season!
