  • Kammerorchester Des Symphonieorchesters Des BR
    Kammerorchester des Symphonieorchesters des BR The Chamber Orchestra of the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra was founded by Radoslaw Szulc and Karl Wagner in 2000 to mark the 50th anniversary of the symphony orchestra. Thus emerged a flexible collective of virtuosic players dedicated to cultivating the chamber music ideal. As primus inter pares Radoslaw Szulc oversees the ensemble’s artistic direction. The ensemble has been hailed by the Sueddeutsche Zeitung ”…from the start a first-rate orchestra with its own character. Their sophisticated playing has differentiated structures of communication as well as musical verve…they give special attention to a full sound and achieve the aspired ideal with utmost instrumental precision.” TV and CD productions quickly followed, starting with Tchaikovsky´s works for string orchestra. The chamber orchestra became known early on for its homogenous and lush string sound. They appear frequently in the major musical centers of Europe as well as at international festivals. The chamber orchestra developed a close friendship with Hélène Grimaud and Frank Peter Zimmermann. In 2011 Mozart´s piano concertos in F Major KV 459 and in A Major KV 488 featuring Hélène Grimaud were released by Deutsche Grammophon and became number one on the US Classic Charts. In 2014 the chamber orchestra began recording all of the Mozart violin concertos with Frank Peter Zimmermann; even before completion of the project in 2015 the first part of the recordings appeared in the Classic Charts. The orchestra has also recorded several Bach violin concertos featuring Lisa Batiashvili for Deutsche Grammophon. The chamber orchestra frequently collaborates with other famous soloists such as Lang Lang, Julia Fischer, Mischa Maisky, Sabine Meyer, Pinchas Zukerman, Diana Damrau, Igor Levit, Vadim Repin, Janine Jansen und Maxim Vengerov.

University of Puget Sound, Honors Program Tacoma, Washington April 18, 2016 Fuhrman !2 Introduction and Presentation of My Argument My story of how I became inclined to write a thesis on Franck’s Violin Sonata in A Major is both unique and essential to describe before I begin the bulk of my writing. After seeing the famously virtuosic violinist Augustin Hadelich and pianist Joyce Yang give an extremely emotional and perfected performance of Franck’s Violin Sonata in A Major at the Aspen Music Festival and School this past summer, I became addicted to the piece and listened to it every day for the rest of my time in Aspen. I always chose to listen to the same recording of Franck’s Violin Sonata by violinist Joshua Bell and pianist Jeremy Denk, in my opinion the highlight of their album entitled French Impressions, released in 2012. After about a month of listening to the same recording, I eventually became accustomed to every detail of their playing, and because I had just started learning the Sonata myself, attempted to emulate what I could remember from the recording.

The Wharton-Sinkler Estate, erected in the early 1920s, is a fine example of the work of one of Philadelphia’s greatest architects, Robert McGoodwin. This massive Tudor fantasy in the Samuel B. Rotan mansion, “Lane's End,” in Wyndmoor, Pennsylvania, now known as the Wharton-Sinkler Estate, was modeled after Sutton Place in Guildford, Surrey. McGoodwin assembled architectural fragments and whole rooms from numerous English buildings: the massive oak front doors were salvaged from Muchelny Abbey and date to 739; the stone-slab floors in the hall were salvaged from Warwick Priory and date to 1124. Mrs. Wharton Sinkler bequeathed the estate to the University of Pennsylvania in 1971, which operated it as a conference center and wedding venue until 1999. Presented by the Volunteer Committees for The Philadelphia Orchestra David Kim, Concertmaster of The Philadelphia Orchestra cordially invites you to a private benefit performance featuring world-renown Violinist Sarah Chang Sunday, April 6, 2014 from 3:00 to 6:00 p.m. at the magnificent Wharton-Sinkler Estate 631 East Gravers Lane, Wyndmoor, Pennsylvania Hors d’oeuvres and white wine will be served following the performance.

  • Wolfgang Sawallisch Wolfgang Sawallisch
    WOLFGANG SAWALLISCH Conductor Laureate Wolfgang Sawallisch became conductor laureate of The Philadelphia Orchestra in September 2003, following the culmination of his celebrated, decade-long tenure as the Orchestra’s sixth music director. Acclaimed as one of the greatest living exponents of the Germanic musical tradition, Mr. Sawallisch enriched and expanded upon the Orchestra’s century-old tradition of excellence, leaving an enduring legacy of artistic achievements with the ensemble. As music director, Mr. Sawallisch encouraged the exploration of new ways to present music to American audiences. In April 1997 he led the Philadelphians in the first live internet concert “cybercast” made by a major American orchestra, attracting listeners from more than 40 countries around the world. He presented season-long focuses on the works of Schumann, Haydn, Beethoven, and Brahms, and an ongoing overview of the works of Richard Strauss (including a concert presentation of the opera Ariadne auf Naxos ). Through a series of commissions, Mr. Sawallisch re-affirmed the Orchestra’s commitment to new music; and his vision for the Orchestra’s 100th Anniversary Season in 1999-2000, made up exclusively of music written since the ensemble’s creation in 1900, resulted in record ticket sales and critical praise. During his tenure, Mr. Sawallisch led The Philadelphia Orchestra each year in concerts outside Philadelphia, helping to build upon the ensemble’s long tradition of touring. He appeared annually with the Orchestra in a series of concerts at Carnegie Hall and conducted the Orchestra in major concert halls throughout the world on eight international tours (three to Europe, four to Asia, and one to Central and South America).
