Daniel Lozakovich was born in Stockholm in 2001 and began playing the violin at the age of seven. Two years later, he made his solo debut with Vladimir Spivakov. Today, this young musician captivates international critics and audiences alike and is one of the most sought-after violinists across the globe. In addition to his high-profile engagements and performances with leading orchestras and renowned conductors, Daniel Lozakovich has also achieved considerable success as a recording artist. At the age of only 15, he was signed by Deutsche Grammophon.

The 2025/26 season will be marked by a series of important debuts and high-profile engagements for Daniel Lozakovich. Among other events, he will tour with conductor Klaus Mäkelä and the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra and perform in Korea, followed by concerts with several orchestras including the Rotterdam Philharmonic, the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic and the Helsinki Philharmonic. This violinist will also tour Europe with the Deutsche Kammer­philharmonie Bremen and his close artistic partner Tarmo Peltokoski. Another highlight of the season will be in March, when Lozakovich will perform as the dedicatee of Pascal Dusapin’s second violin concerto at its world premiere at the Fondation Vuitton with Teodor Currentzis and the Ensemble Utopia. Daniel Lozakovich plays the 1713 ›ex-Sancy‹ Stradivarius, on generous loan by LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton.

»…talent of the century«, so described the Tagesspiegel Tarmo Peltokoski. This Finnish conductor was appointed ›Principal Guest Conductor‹ by the Deutsche Kammer­philharmonie Bremen in January 2022 – the first conductor to hold this position.

In recent seasons, Peltokoski has debuted at many major festivals, including the Rheingau Music Festival and the Schleswig-Holstein Music Festival, as well as in the great concert halls such as the Köln Philharmonie and the Elbphilharmonie Hamburg. In addition, he has given debuts with the hr-Sinfonieorchester and the Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France. At just 22, Peltokoski conducted his first complete Ring Cycle as well as another significant Wagner work – Tristan und Isolde – at the Eurajoki Bel Canto Festival. In the same year, he was also appointed Principal Guest Conductor of the Rotterdam Philharmonisch Orkest, Musical and Artistic Director of the Latvian National Symphony Orchestra and Music Director Designate of the Orchestre National du Capitole de Toulouse.

Tarmo Peltokoski conducted the Hong Kong Philharmonic, the Konzerthausorchester Berlin and the Los Angeles Philharmonic in the Hollywood Bowl. In 2023 Tarmo Peltokoski was awarded the OPUS Klassik for his recording with the Deutsche Kammer­philharmonie Bremen. In addition to piano and conducting, Peltokoski also studied composition and arranging and has a particular penchant for musical comedy and improvisation.
