Conductor

Jérémie Rhorer

Jérémie Rhorer is one of the most versatile and intellectually ambitious conductors of his generation. As the founder and Artistic Director of the orchestra Le Cercle de l’Harmonie, the Frenchman continues in the tradition of artist-innovator, exploring the repertoire of the 18th and 19th centuries using period instruments. A winner of the Prix Pierre Cardin, Rhorer is also a well-respected composer. For over 10 years, Jérémie Rhorer has developed a close relationship with the Théâtre des Champs-Elysées in Paris, where he has conducted a broad spectrum of standard, rarely-performed and contemporary operas. Rhorer has also conducted some of the most distinguished international orchestras, including the Montreal Symphony Orchestra, the Gewandhausorchester, the Orchestre de Paris and the Czech Philharmonic.

In demand as an opera conductor, Rhorer has conducted performances at the Vienna State Opera, the Bavarian State Opera, the Teatro Real in Madrid and the Teatro dell’Opera di Roma and has also guest conducted at some of Europe’s most prestigious international festivals. Highlights of the current season include his debuts with the Orchestre Philharmonique de Bordeaux-Aquitaine and at the Opernhaus Zürich with a new production of Offenbach’s seldom-performed opera Barkouff. In recent years, Jérémie Rhorer and Le Cercle de l’Harmonie have initiated an innovative residency at Le Grand Théâtre de Provence in Aix-en-Provence, which includes an educational programme dedicated to new audiences. The exciting conductor enjoys a long-standing collaboration with The Deutsche Kammer­philharmonie Bremen.

Violin

Julian Rachlin

The violinist, viola player and composer Julian Rachlin counts as one of the most exciting and respected musicians of our time. Born in Lithuania, he moved to Vienna with his family in 1978, where he later studied at the Conservatory. After receiving the ›Young Musician of the Year‹ Award at the 1988 Eurovision Competition, Rachlin gave his debut as the youngest soloist with Riccardo Muti and the Vienna Philharmonic. Today, this violinist can look back on a number of appearances as soloist with some of the world’s leading conductors and orchestras including with Mariss Jansons and the St. Petersburg Philharmonic, with Riccardo Chailly and the Filarmonica della Scala and with Manfred Honeck and the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra.

Last season’s highlights include the collaboration between Krzysztof Urbański and the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra, performances with Zubin Mehta and the Los Angeles Philharmonic and also with Valery Gergiev and the Mariinsky Orchestra. As a chamber musician and recitalist Julian Rachlin has performed with renowned artists such as Martha Argerich and Misha Maisky.  More recently, Julian Rachlin has also established himself as a highly regarded conductor, known for his dynamic style and lively interpretations. Julian Rachlin plays the ›ex Liebig‹ violin, made by Stradivarius in 1704, on loan from the Angelika Prokopp Private Foundation.
