“Artist-in-Residence” 2019 in Ingolstadt: Sergei Nakariakov

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  • Border crossings between tradition and modernity, the familiar and the rare have always characterized the Georgian Chamber Orchestra Ingolstadt. This orientation of the orchestra developed even more and deeper when Ruben Gazarian became chief conductor and continued to sharpen the profile of the GCO further.
  •  
  • In the 2019 season, this approach will be in focus once again. An emphasis on the symphonies of Joseph Haydn (210 years after his death) will continue also in the coming season, as well as the focus on Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. A special anniversary will mark the 100th birthday of Mieczysław Weinberg (1919-1996) in December 2019. The important Russian composer of Polish-Jewish origin and close friend of Dmitri Shostakovich remains largely undiscovered in the Western music world. The works of Catalan composer Miquel Ortega are also less well known.
  •  
  • For the special profile of the new season, Sergei Nakariakov is an excellent ambassador as “Artist-in-Residence” 2019. The Russian trumpeter, who just introduced himself at the GCO in a joint performance with Sebastian Knauer (the 2018 Artist-in-Residence”), is himself a border crosser. In his broad repertoire, he intensively cultivates contemporary music. Jörg Widmann created his “ad absurdum” especially for him, a highly demanding work tailor-made for Nakariakov’s outstanding musical and technical abilities. In the opening concert of the season on January 16, 2019, the artist can also be experienced with precisely this composition at the GCO under the direction of Ruben Gazarian.
  •  
  • The third subscription concert on March 21, 2019 is solely in the hands of principal conductor Ruben Gazarian, who, in addition to Eric Satie, Maurice Ravel and Pēteris Vasks, will also focus on the jubilarian Mieczysław Weinberg, whose music will be heard again few months later, in the program with Russian pianist Elizaveta Blumina (on June 06, 2019).
  •  
  • Music by Johann Sebastian Bach, Ludwig van Beethoven, Franz Schubert, Arthur Honegger, Johann Simon Mayr, Niels Gade, Gustav Holst, P. I. Tchaikovsky and many others testifies to the richness of the musical “kaleidoscope” that will provide unforgettable musical experiences for the audience of the 2019 Ingolstadt subscription series. Several performances will be recorded for Broadcast and CD productions, including for Deutschlandfunk Kultur.
  •  
  • Through numerous guest appearances, the Georgian Chamber Orchestra Ingolstadt presents its distinctive profile within Germany, including a return invitation to the renowned Rheingau Music Festival, in Munich, Frankfurt, Dortmund, Witten, Blaibach, Kempten and Donauwörth, as well as at Schaffhausen Klassik in Switzerland with Khatia and Gvantsa Buniatishvili. Another Swiss guest performance will take place in Brugg, with a recording for the radio station SRF Kultur. In addition, the GCO and its principal conductor are guests at two other major European festivals: Emilia Romagna Festival in Italy and Festival Ljubljana in Slovenia.
  •  
  • Of course, the upcoming GCO season has much more in store in terms of fascinating projects, musical insights and discoveries, all of which is waiting to be explored on the orchestra’s website: www.georgisches-kammerorchester.de
