The Camerata is the leading chamber orchestra in Israel — no minor achievement in a country which boasts many acclaimed orchestras, ensembles and soloists. Like Australia’s, the musical life of Israel had been immeasurably enriched by the diverse people from around the world which have made it home, applying their talents and experiences to the creation of a vibrant culture. The Israel Camerata Jerusalem Orchestra joins the roster of great international ensembles the Centre has presented since 2012 — the Mahler Chamber Orchestra, Hespèrion XXI, Les Arts Florissants and, most recently, Concerto Italiano. None of these would have been possible without the generous support of our donors and the enthusiastic response of you, our community. I pay tribute to the generosity of our supporters for the Israel Camerata Jerusalem Orchestra’s Melbourne performances: Yvonne von Hartel am and Robert Peck am. The Israel Camerata Jerusalem Orchestra’s Australian tour is supported by The Besen Family Foundation, The Pratt Foundation, Australia Israel Cultural Exchange, the Australia-Israel Chamber of Commerce (Vic) with special thanks to Ambassador (Ret.) Gershon Zohar. I look forward to sharing these performances with you.

  • W E I G O L D & Ö H David Garrett M
    W E I G O L D & B Ö H David Garrett M Violine International Artists & Tours „David ist sehr ehrlich im Hinblick auf die Intention des Komponisten. Er macht keine eigenmächtigen Abweichungen in seiner Interpretation. Er ist sehr klassisch orientiert, denn das ist die Art und Weise, wie er aufgewachsen ist. Ich bin wirklich sehr beeindruckt von der Wahrhaftigkeit seines Spiels. Mit anderen Worten: Er benützt seine Technik und seinen wundervollen Geigenton, um der Musik, die er spielt, zu dienen. Und das ist sehr wichtig.“ (Zubin Mehta, Dezember 2013) Seit seiner Rückkehr als Absolvent der Juilliard School bei Itzhak Perlman verfolgt David Garrett konsequent seinen künstlerischen Weg, Crossover-Repertoire und Werke der klassischen Geigenliteratur in verschiedenen Konzertprogrammen einem breiten Publikum zu präsentieren. Dabei nutzt er die Popularität seiner Crossover-Konzerte, um gerade ein neues Publikum für die großartige klassische Violinliteratur zu begeistern und eine Wahrnehmung für die klassische Musik zu schaffen. Die Idee zum Crossover entwickelt sich während seiner Wunderkind-Karriere und seines Studiums an der Juilliard School. "Als Sechzehnjähriger dachte ich immer, warum sind meine Freunde und Gleichaltrige nicht hier im Konzert? Sie hören nicht die wunderbare Musik von Bach, Mozart, Beethoven oder Bruch…“ Im Studium an der Juilliard School kommt David Garrett mit anderen Sparten wie Schauspiel und Tanz in Berührung. Er erkennt, dass diese Studenten selten Konzerte mit klassischer Musik besuchen, aber begeistert sind, wenn er klassische Melodien auf der Violine anspielt. Bei Jam-Sessions wird David Garrett von seinen Freunden gefragt, ob er auch Pop-Songs anspielen kann. Dies macht er natürlich und lässt immer wieder klassische Stücke einfließen, die während ihrer Entstehungszeit ebenfalls zur damaligen populären Musik zählten.

  • Le Star Della Classica Arrivano Alla Reggia Di Caserta Ezio Bosso
    Le star della Classica arrivano alla Reggia di Caserta Ezio Bosso, David Garrett, Stefano Bollani, Zubin Mehta Dal 28 agosto al 29 settembre 6 imperdibili appuntamenti www.unestatedare.it Quarta edizione di “Un’estate da Re. La Grande Musica alla Reggia di Caserta”, la rassegna di musica classica, lirica e sinfonica, voluta e finanziata dalla Regione Campania, con la direzione artistica affidata al Maestro Antonio Marzullo. Realizzata in collaborazione con il MIBAC e con il Comune di Caserta, la rassegna è organizzata e promossa dalla Scabec, la società inhouse della Regione, e si avvale della collaborazione del Teatro di San Carlo di Napoli e del Teatro Municipale “Giuseppe Verdi” di Salerno. Nata dall’idea del Presidente della Regione Campania Vincenzo De Luca nel 2016 di creare un evento che promuovesse allo stesso tempo sia la Reggia come monumento da valorizzare sia le eccellenze musicali presenti in Campania, “Un’Estate da Re. La grande musica alla Reggia di Caserta” oggi è diventato un appuntamento fisso nella stagione estiva, di grande richiamo anche turistico, grazie ad una programmazione di altissimo profilo e alla location di grande fascino: il meraviglioso emiciclo sotto le stelle dell’Aperia, situato nella parte alta del parco reale, incastonato nel Giardino Inglese e restaurato anno dopo anno proprio grazie al festival. La rassegna quest’anno si terrà da mercoledì 28 agosto a domenica 29 settembre, con gli spettacoli alle ore 19,30. La direzione artistica, insieme al Teatro di San Carlo, con la sua Orchestra e il Balletto, e al Teatro Verdi con la Filarmonica salernitana, ha saputo mettere a punto un cartellone che chiude in bellezza la stagione estiva dei festival musicali in Campania.

  • Mutspecial Davos Festival 2017 001
    SPECIAL EDITION VADUZ CLASSIC AUGUST 2017 titel David Garrett: In zwei Welten zu Hause artists Yaron Traub Kevin Griffiths Ensemble Esperanza thema Musik als Ursprache Menschenrecht Musik 2 inserate editorial 3 Liebe Leserin, lieber Leser Es ist eine Binsenwahrheit, dass jeder mächtige Baum einmal als kleines, unscheinbares Pflänzchen aus dem Boden drängte und sich dem Licht entgegenreckte. Wo ein Sämling nicht auf eine fruchtbare Erde fällt, wo das wachsende Pflänzchen nicht behütet, gehegt und gepflegt wird – da kann nichts wachsen und da wird es auch keine Ernte geben. Genauso ist es in der Kunst. Da kann Vaduz Classic als gutes Beispiel dafür stehen, wie viele Facetten eines bereichernden Miteinanders es geben kann. Das neue Fes- tival verbindet höchsten musikalischen Professionalismus mit der nicht weniger bewundernswerten Leidenschaft von Amateuren. Stars musizieren neben jungen Talenten, Musikschüler neben ambitionierten Laien. Wenn zum Schlussbouquet des viertägigen Konzertreigens unter dem Motto «Liechtenstein spielt» ein gros- ses, aus rund hundert Musikerinnen und Musikern zusammenge- stelltes Orchester auftritt, wird genau diesem Gedanken nachge- lebt. Und es spiegelt sich darin etwas, was mir seit Jahren auffällt: Liechtenstein kann auf ein ungemein lebendiges und reiches Musikleben bauen. Da gibt es die Spitze der Pyramide mit einer international anerkannten Musikakademie genauso wie ein beein- druckendes Musikschulwesen auf allen Stufen. Man ist stolz auf ein eigenes Sinfonieorchester und freut sich gleichzeitig an vielen Chören und Blasmusiken. Und so weiter. Einige der Institutionen, die wesentlich dazu beitragen, gestalten auch das neue Festival «Vaduz Classic» mit. Ich freue mich, mit dieser Sonderausgabe von «Musik&Theater» etwas von der Vielfalt und von der im Fürstentum verbreiteten Musizierfreude zu vermitteln und wünsche dem Festi- val einen fulminanten Auftakt.

  • Masterclass Programme 2020
    1 Class of 2019 ABOUT Hellensmusic is a music festival that takes place every May in and around Hellens Manor, Herefordshire. Its aims are threefold: to create opportunities for world-class musicians to collaborate outside the concert circuit and explore new ideas; to provide a platform for talented music students from all over the UK and beyond to learn from leading experts; and to bring great music to this corner of England, inspiring local audiences. Hellensmusic Masterclass Programme consists of six days of intense learning, with individual masterclasses, chamber music classes and music improvisation sessions taught by the Festival’s resident artists. The course culminates in two final concerts where students will have the opportunity to perform some of the pieces they worked on during the week and play alongside their tutors in chamber music ensembles. Our aim is to create a rich and inspiring musical week that can fast-track meaningful learning. We create a welcoming environment where everyone is warmly encouraged to explore, be curious and enjoy music to the fullest. Beyond the masterclasses, students have the chance to engage with their tutors at meals and breaks and can see them in action at rehearsals and performances. This provides a unique opportunity for informal learning, which sets Hellensmusic apart from other short courses. “An invaluable experience. I feel I gained so much knowledge from the tutors and learnt so much in such a short time. It has been a wonderful, encouraging environment in which to learn” THE TEAM We are proud to have a team of resident artists who are not only acclaimed performers but also committed and passionate teachers.
