BIOGRAPHY LEONIDAS KAVAKOS VIOLIN The Léonie Sonning Music Prize Winner of 2017 Leonidas Kavakos, was born and brought up in a musical family in Athens. The three important mentors in his life were Stelios Kafantaris, Josef Gingold and Ferenc Rados. By the age of 21, he had already won three of the major competitions, the Sibelius in 1985 and the Paganini and Naumburg in 1988. This success led to his recording of the original Sibelius Violin Concerto (1903/4), the first recording of this work in history, which won the Gramophone Concerto of the Year Award in 1991. Since then, Leonidas Kavakos has worked and developed close relationships with orchestras in Europe such as Vienna Philharmonic, Berlin Philharmonic, Royal Concertgebouw, London Symphony, Gewandhausorchester, Dresden Staatskapelle, Munich Philharmonic, Orchestre de Paris, Academia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia, Orchestra Filarmonica della Scala, and in the USA with Philadelphia Orchestra, New York Philharmonic, with whom he will be Artist in Residence for the 2016/17 season, Boston Symphony, Chicago Symphony and Los Angeles Philharmonic. On the 2015/16 season Kavakos toured with the London Philharmonic Orchestra to Spain, with the Bayerischer Rundfunk to the USA and played at the Festivals of Verbier, White Nights, Edinburgh International, Tanglewood, Annecy Classic and Dresdner Musikfestspiele. As a conductor, Leonidas Kavakos has built a strong profile, working with the London and Boston Symphony Orchestras, Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin, Maggio Musicale Fiorentino and Budapest Festival orchestras. In 2015/16 he returned to conduct the Wiener Symphoniker, the Chamber Orchestra of Europe and the Philharmonic Orchestra of Radio France, he will make his debut as conductor with the Bamberg Symphony, Danish National Symphony and Rotterdam Philharmonic. Leonidas Kavakos is an exclusive recording artist of DECCA Classics, his album of the complete Beethoven Violin Sonatas with pianist Enrico Pace from 2013 won the ECHO Klassik Award for “Instrumentalist of the Year”, his following recordings for DECCA have been the Brahms Violin Concerto with the Gewandhausorchester Leipzig and Ricardo Chailly, Brahms Violin Sonatas with pianist Yuja Wang, and in 2016 he released “Virtuoso”. In 2014 he was awarded “Artist of the Year” by Gramophone. Earlier discography with BIS, ECM and Sony Classical, include the Mendelssohn Violin Concerto, which won the ECHO Klassik “Best Concerto Recording”, and Mozart’s Violin Concertos, conducting and playing with Camerata Salzburg. During 15 years, Leonidas Kavakos has curated a chamber music cycle at the Megaron Athens Concert Hall and gives an annual violin and chamber-music masterclass in Athens. He plays the “Abergavenny” Stradivarius violin of 1724 and owns modern violins made by F. Leonhard, S.P. Greiner, E. Haahti and D. Bagué.

Leonidas Kavakos Enrico Pace
Martedì 24 gennaio 2017, ore 20.30 10 SALA VERDI DEL CONSERVATORIO Leonidas Kavakos violino Enrico Pace pianoforte Janácˇek - Sonata per violino e pianoforte Schubert - Fantasia in do maggiore D 934 Messiaen - Thème et variations Beethoven - Sonata n. 10 in sol maggiore op. 96 Di turno Direttore artistico Franca Cella Paolo Arcà Lodovico Barassi 5 minuti prima di ascoltare: Gaia Varon Con il contributo e il patrocinio di Leosˇ Janácˇek (Hukvaldy 1854 - Ostrava 1928) Sonata per violino e pianoforte (ca. 19’) I. Con moto II. Ballada III. Allegretto IV. Adagio l Anno di composizione: 1914/15 (rev. 1916/22) l Prima esecuzione: Brno, 24 aprile 1922 Tra gli appunti della Sonata per violino, si trova la data dell’1 agosto segnata in rilievo da Janácˇek. La data si riferisce alla dichiarazione di guerra della Ger- mania alla Russia, che segnava allo stesso tempo l’inizio delle ostilità tra Russia e Impero austro-ungarico. Janácˇek era convinto che la soluzione ai problemi della nazione ceca e morava passasse per la distruzione dell’odiato oppressore austro-tedesco, quindi sperava ardentemente in una rapida vittoria delle for- ze russe, corse in soccorso dei fratelli slavi attaccati. Non tutti però erano di questo avviso, nemmeno tra i nazionalisti cechi, che speravano piuttosto in una sorta di autonomia all’interno dell’Impero sull’esempio di quella ottenuta dagli ungheresi con la riforma costituzionale del 1867. In questo clima eccitato dalle notizie provenienti dal fronte, ma tutto sommato non molto diverso dagli anni precedenti la Guerra, Janácˇek lavorava alla sua terza Sonata per violino, l’u- nica in effetti a raggiungere lo stadio definitivo di lavoro ufficiale e pubblicato.

JS Bach / Igor Stravinsky Leonidas Kavakos, Péter Nagy
ECM J.S. Bach / Igor Stravinsky Leonidas Kavakos, Péter Nagy Leonidas Kavakos: violin; Péter Nagy: piano ECM New Series 1855 CD 0289 472 7672 (2) Release: February 2005 As Hans-Klaus Jungheinrich writes in his liner notes to this disc, “Electrical sparks are flying fast and furiously between the past and the future” in this recital by Greek violinist Leonidas Kavakos and Hungarian pianist Péter Nagy, which brings together music of Igor Stravinsky and Johann Sebastian Bach: “a dramaturgical element unfolding…acting to suspend the works in a state of balance.” The music of Johann Sebastian Bach was a touchstone for Igor Stravinsky, throughout his life (Robert Craft reported that he was working on Bach transcriptions even on his deathbed). He revered Bach’s music not for its religious or spiritual underpinnings but for its clarity, vigour and motoric energy, above all its sheer craftsmanship. Liberal in his borrowings from classical models, Stravinsky said “I repeat in my own accent” and argued that in submitting to the demands of a given style a composer could find new freedoms of expression. The artist’s personality, he said, “is more detached and stands out better when it moves within the definite limits of a convention”. The impulse was a progressive one: “A composer can use the past and move forward”. Leonidas Kavakos addressed the same issue in a recent interview with Strings magazine: “I’m totally against this idea that what is composed today should be like nothing that has ever been composed before…While you are looking for something absolutely new, are you sure you have exhausted all the possibilities of what you have?” The Duo Concertant of 1932 and Suite Italienne of the following year derive from the inspired friendship between Stravinsky and American violinist Samuel Dushkin that led to the formation of their touring duo.

The Glimmerglass Festival
A 2017 Guide FEATURE ARTICLE Training Opera’s Next Generation A Tale of Two Festivals April 2017 Festivals Editor’s Note In our largest and most varied Guide to Summer Festivals yet, we focus on a common thread: training the next generation of performers and the artistic personnel who support them. At many festivals, young artists receive private lessons, coaching sessions, master classes, or all of the above during the day. By night they are either performing, observing the seasoned pros who train them by day, or a combination of the two. But honing or developing the skills of tomorrow’s generation of musicians is only part of the equation. It’s summertime, after all, and while the living may not exactly be “easy,” it’s certainly a lot more relaxed than during the season or school year. Consider the difference between waiting in the green-room line post-concert A 2017 Guide to shake the maestro’s hand vs. running into him in the festival cafeteria line, or at the local pub after the concert, or on a morning jog. Such is the kind of cross-fertilization for which festivals are known, and one of the reasons they are such ideal settings for rising artists. Sometimes the trainees are fully integrated into the schedule, such as at the Santa Fe Opera, where young artists are featured, often in leading roles. Sometimes they work independently of the main event, such as at Tanglewood, where the Tanglewood Music Center Orchestra, for instance, is comprised entirely of TMC Fellows and plays its own concerts, alongside the center-stage Boston Symphony Orchestra (whose members form much of the faculty).
