GIOVANNI GUZZO, Violin
GIOVANNI GUZZO, violin “Guzzo’s technique was immaculate, and his Szymanowski was also stylish and driven. He ripped through the cadenza with terrific verve and left me wanting to hear much more from him”. Andrew Morris, Classicalsource 30 year old violinist Giovanni Guzzo is rapidly rising as one of the most versatile performers of his generation. Born in Venezuela to parents of Italian and Venezuelan heritage, he has captivated audiences around the world with his unique and passionate approach to his performances. Following his sensational solo debut with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra in London, critics described him as a “wonderfully magnetic” and “commanding” performer. Giovanni started his musical studies with the piano at the age of five and violin at the age of six. At the age of 12 he became the youngest violinist to win the National Violin Competition “Juan Bautista Plaza” in Venezuela. A protégé of the renowned French virtuoso violinist Maurice Hasson, Giovanni was granted a scholarship to study at the Royal Academy of Music in London, from where he graduated with the highest honours. He previously studied with Zakhar Bron at the “Escuela Superior de Musica Reina Sofia” in Madrid. A keen recitalist and chamber musician, Giovanni has worked closely with some of today’s leading musicians, including Martha Argerich, Joshua Bell, Martin Fröst, Daniel Hope, Stephen Hough, Kristóf Baráti, Mats Lidstrom, Gábor Takács-Nagy, István Várdai, the Takacs Quartet and Maxim Vengerov, to name but a few. His talent has been recognised with numerous awards including Her Majesty the Queen’s commendation for Excellence, Gold medal at Marlow Music Festival, PROMIS award given by the London Symphony Orchestra, and the Manoug Parikian and Myra Hess award. -

Amihai Grosz Viola
„His tone is confident and passionate, he is an eloquent narrator without words, sovereignly covering the melancholic-dreamy width of the score.“ Frederik Hanssen, Der Tagesspiegel AMIHAI GROSZ VIOLA Amihai Grosz looks back on a very unusual career path: At first a quartet player (founding member of the Jerusalem Quartet), then and until today Principal Violist with the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra, and also a renowned soloist. Initially, Amihai Grosz learned to play the violin, before switching to the viola at age 11. In Jerusalem, he was taught by David Chen, later by Tabea Zimmermann in Frankfurt and Berlin as well as in Tel Aviv by Haim Taub, who had a formative influence on him. At a very early age, he received various grants and prizes and was a member of the “Young Musicians Group” of the Jerusalem Music Center, a program for outstanding young musical talents. As a soloist Grosz has collaborated with renowned conductors such as Zubin Mehta, Tugan Sokhiev, Ariel Zukermann, Daniel Barenboim, Sir Simon Rattle, Alexander Vedernikov and Gerard Korsten and performs internationally with orchestras such as the Finnish Radio Symphony Orchestra, the Warsaw Philharmonic Orchestra, the Danish National Symphony Orchestra, the Orchestre d'Auvergne and the Zurich Chamber Orchestra. In the world of chamber music, Amihai Grosz performs with artists such as Yefim Bronfman, Mitsuko Uchida, Daniel Hope & Friends, Eric le Sage, Janine Jansen & Friends, Julian Steckel, Daishin Kashimoto and David Geringas. Internationally, he can be heard regularly at the most prestigious concert halls such as the Concertgebouw Amsterdam, Tonhalle Zurich, Wigmore Hall in London and the Philharmonie Luxembourg, as well as at leading festivals including the Jerusalem Chamber Music Festival, the Schleswig-Holstein Musik Festival, the Evian, Verbier and Delft Festivals, the BBC Proms and the Utrecht International Chamber Music Festival. -

Son ya 17 las ediciones que cumple una iniciativa que ha convertido la excelencia en su sello Ede garantía al servicio de la formación y la difusión musical. Del 1 al 27 de julio, las aulas del Conservatorio Jesús de Monasterio volverán a acoger a los grandes maestros del panorama internacional para ofrecer un intercambio único a los jóvenes talentos de las doce escuelas europeas más prestigiosas. Un encuentro entre la experiencia de grandísimos artistas consagrados y el entusiasmo y el potencial de las nuevas figuras llamadas a triunfar en los escenarios del futuro. Y junto a la academia, la difusión musical más allá de las aulas para acercar a los cántabros momentos inolvidables en medio centenar de conciertos que llegarán al Palacio de Festivales de Cantabria, al Palacio de La Magdalena y la iglesia de Santa Lucía, en Santander, pero también a otra veintena de localidades cántabras, como Torrelavega, Comillas, Santillana del Mar o Laredo. Tenemos por delante un mes para disfrutar de la Música con mayúsculas, desde el concierto inaugural a cargo de la Orquesta Sinfónica Freixenet, dirigida por el maestro Csaba, a los homenajes al pianista Bashkirov y al maestro Rostropovich, pasando por el concierto extraordinario para familias, que acercará la música de Stravinsky al público de todas las edades. Sobran razones y argumentos para sumarse un año más al Encuentro y estoy seguro de que los cántabros y los muchos visitantes que se encuentran entre nosotros en estas fechas estivales sabrán disfrutarlo y valorarlo como merece.
