Benedetti strings along with the Deutsches Symphonie
Print Edition
The Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin is joining hands with Scottish violinist Nicola Benedetti to stage a concert at Shanghai Oriental Art Center on October 19.
Conducted by Robin Ticciati, who is also the orchestra鈥檚 musical director, the concert will present Richard Strauss鈥 鈥淒on Juan,鈥 Bruch鈥檚 鈥淰iolin Concerto No. 1 in G Minor, Op. 26鈥 and Mahler鈥檚 鈥淪ymphony No. 1 in D Major.鈥
Since its founding in 1946, the Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin has been recognized throughout the world under the lead of some of the finest musical directors, such as: Ferenc Fricsay, Lorin Maazel, Riccardo Chailly and Vladimir Ashkenazy.
Ticciati took the baton in 2017 at the age of 31 and demonstrated the enormous breadth of his proficiency and the bond between him and the orchestra.
鈥淐ontrol and trust鈥 is how he describes his relation with the orchestra.
鈥淵ou don鈥檛 need decorations when it鈥檚 unnecessary,鈥 Ticciati said about his conducting skills.
鈥淵ou need to know when to leave space for music and let it take the lead. Don鈥檛 drown in cantus, but try to find its meaning and the right pace.鈥
The young Briton with Italian roots has previously conducted renowned orchestras including the Wiener Philharmoniker and the Vienna Symphony. Tours with Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin have led Ticciati through Europe to Asia. The 36-year-old was awarded an OBE for services to music in the Queen鈥檚 Birthday Honors in June.
Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin has been referred to as 鈥渙rchestral think tank鈥 by German media, alluding to the rich dramaturgy of its concert programs, as well as the orchestra鈥檚 commitment to contemporary music and its courage in exploring unusual music conveying formats.
In Shanghai, the orchestra will be partnering Benedetti, one of the most sought-after violinists of her generation.
The 32-year-old鈥檚 ability to captivate audiences with her innate musicianship and dynamic presence, coupled with her wide appeal as a high-profile advocate of classical music, has made her one of the most influential artists of the day.
Benedetti enjoys working with world-class orchestras, including collaborations with the London Symphony Orchestra, London Philharmonic Orchestra and New York Philharmonic. She was awarded the Queen鈥檚 Medal for Music in 2017, and became the youngest ever recipient.
