Our conductor for the tour will be world-renowned violinist Nikolaj Znaider. Perhaps you remember him from our September 18-28 concerts.
Here's a little information about him:
Celebrated as one of the foremost violinists of today, Nikolaj Znaider is regularly invited to work with the world’s leading orchestras including, Vienna, Berlin and London Philharmonics, Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, and London Symphony Orchestra, and enjoys artistic collaborations with acclaimed conductors including Daniel Barenboim, Sir Colin Davis, Christoph von Dohnanyi, Gustavo Dudamel, Valery Gergiev, Mariss Jansons, Vladimir Jurowski, Christian Thielemann and many others. A conductor as well as violinist, he was recently named principal guest conductor of the Swedish Chamber Orchestra.
Born in Denmark to Polish-Israeli parents, Znaider studied with the eminent Russian pedagogue Boris Kushnir and drawing on this eclectic background his playing has been heralded in the Strad Magazine as “extraordinarily intelligent, soulful and impassioned, yet without a hint of indulgence.”
A keen recitalist and chamber musician, Znaider has shared the stage with the foremost artists of today such as Daniel Barenboim, Leif Ove Andsnes, Yuri Bashmet, Yefim Bronfman, Lynn Harrell, Lang Lang and Pinchas Zukerman. His next recording on the Sony/BMG Masterworks label will be Korngold and Brahms Concertos with the Vienna Philharmonic led by Valery Gergiev.
Znaider plays the “Kreisler” Guarnerius “del Gesu” 1741 on extended loan by The Royal Danish Theater through the generosity of the VELUX FOUNDATIONS and the Knud Højgaard Foundation.
