Born in São Paulo, Brazil, in 2005, Guido Sant’Anna gained international recognition in 2022 when he won first prize at the prestigious International Fritz Kreisler Violin Competition in Vienna. Since then, he has performed at leading concert halls and festivals, appearing with orchestras such as the hr-Sinfonieorchester and Die Deutsche Kammer­philharmonie Bremen at the Rheingau Musik Festival, and taking the stage at Hamburg’s Elbphilharmonie and the Konzerthaus Berlin

This season, Guido Sant’Anna will make his debut with Jukka-Pekka Saraste and the Helsinki Philharmonic, Tomáš Hanus and the Iceland Symphony Orchestra in Reykjavík, among others. In Germany, highlights include his first appearance atMunich’s Isarphilharmonie with the Münchner Symphoniker in Brahms’ Double Concerto alongside cellist Jaemin Han and Chief Conductor Joseph Bastian, and his debut at the Bregenz Festival with Eva Ollikainen and the Wiener Symphoniker.

In addition, Sant’Anna is a sought-after recitalist and chamber musician and appears at several leading German festivals, including the Kissinger Sommer and the Schleswig-Holstein Music Festival. Further performances are scheduled at Wigmore Hall alongside András Schiff and at the Brucknerhaus Linz with Giorgi Gigashvili. From 2025 to 2028, he is a featured artist of the Debut in Nikolaisaal programme in Potsdam.. In recognition of his numerous achievements, Sant’Anna has been included in Forbes Brazil’s ‘30 Under 30’ list.  Sant’Anna performs on a 1737 violin by Giuseppe Guarneri del Gesù.

With his compelling interpretations of Mozart, Jérémie Rhorer took the international music scene by storm almost twenty years ago. Since then, this French conductor and composer has successfully moved between opera and symphonic music. Rhorer was already performing at a high level as a child and went on to study conducting with Emil Tchakarov, Karajan’s renowned assistant, before finally finding his artistic calling whilst studying composition with Thierry Escaich.

Through Le Cercle de l’Harmonie, which he founded in 2005 and continues to lead to this day, Rhorer is regarded as one of the pioneers of historically informed performance practice for the Classical and Romantic repertoire, exploring a path stretching from Haydn and Mozart through Beethoven, Schumann and Brahms to Bruckner, and from Gluck and Berlioz to Verdi and Wagner –  always with the aim of reviving the timbres and theatricality, in keeping with the spirit of the work.

Guest engagements regularly take him to renowned orchestras worldwide as well as to Europe’s leading opera houses and festivals in Vienna, Amsterdam, Zurich, Brussels, Salzburg, Berlin, Madrid, Rome, Venice and Florence, with a repertoire expanding from Mozart to Schoenberg.

In 2025, Jérémie Rhorer received the Honor of Officer of the Order of Arts and Letters by the French Ministry of Culture.

This sought-after conductor has been working closely with the Deutsche Kammer­philharmonie Bremen for many years. Their current collaboration focuses on works by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky.
