Vasily Petrenko, installed in Oslo as well as with his beloved Liverpool orchestra, is certainly on the ascent, and his way with Russian repertoire remains enormously compelling.’ 6 Congratulations…… To Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra violinist David Rimbault, who was awarded the prestigious Royal Philharmonic Society (RPS) Association of British Orchestras (ABO) Salomon Prize for orchestral musicians. At 37 years of age, he is one of the youngest recipients of the annual award, and was nominated by his colleagues in the Orchestra for his tireless commitment to the orchestra and its audiences. David is the first musician from the Orchestra to win this national prize. He was presented with the award on stage at the concert on 22 March, which was broadcast live on Radio 3. In their citation, the RPS and ABO said: ‘David Rimbault is the embodiment of what the Salomon Prize is all about – an adept and enthusiastic navigator of modern orchestral life, and a passionate advocate for the Orchestra to be as fair, inclusive, progressive and enjoyable a place to work as possible. ‘Friendly, sociable and popular, he is a great source of cohesion, morale and motivation across the organisation.’ To Emily Howard on winning a 2017 British Composer Award for Torus: Concerto for Orchestra.

He entered the Petrograd Conservatory at age 13 and studied piano with Leonid Nikolayev and composition with Maximilian Steinberg.

  • Culture and the Arts Bring Meaning to Our Lives
    Culture and the Arts bring meaning to our lives. Culture and the Arts make us the human beings we are and give structure and sense to the society we create; they provide us with real values and fulfil our mental and emotional existence. In the most difficult days of the history of humanity, alongside the most dramatic events, the most devastating wars and epidemics, the Arts, and perhaps especially music, enhanced the spirit. Music became a symbol of resilience, heroism and ultimately our belief in ourselves, from Josef Haydn’s ‘Mass in Time of War’ to Shostakovich’s Seventh Symphony. We are at war now and we musicians are desperate to join in in the battle to help society, help people to improve their mental health, fire their spirit and give comfort during this most isolated, most lonely time in our modern history. But we can’t. We are prevented from performing in live spaces, prevented from reaching the eyes and ears and hearts of our public, prevented from sharing with them our love, our passion, our belief. It is becoming more and more apparent that orchestras, opera companies and other musical institutions in the UK, a truly world-leading country in all forms of culture, are in grave danger of being lost forever, if urgent action is not taken. Many of us have had great support through the Job Retention Scheme, and we are really grateful to the Government for that. But we need also to look to the coming months, and even years, and discuss what the impact of this closure, and of contained social distancing remaining, means for the performing arts.
