We are thrilled to welcome Elmar Lampson—renowned composer, conductor, and artistic innovator—to TYB Arts.

With an extensive repertoire spanning orchestral, choral, chamber, and operatic works, Lampson’s music has been recorded by Sony Classical and col legno. He co-founded the Hörwelten festival and led the Orchester-Akademie Hamburg for 15 years.

Throughout his career, Lampson has collaborated with legendary composers, including György Ligeti, Sofia Gubaidulina, Arvo Pärt, and Alfred Schnittke. His music explores profound contrasts—blending tonality and atonality, pentatonic and twelve-tone structures, and richly textured clusters—resulting in a deeply expressive and unique musical language.

We look forward to this exciting new chapter with Elmar Lampson at TYB Arts!

Boris Giltburg Advocates for Youth Orchestras through Powerful Performance Triumphant musical evening met with “endless applause” for Giltburg in Berlin

Boris Giltburg Advocates for Youth Orchestras through Powerful Performance Triumphant musical evening met with “endless applause” for Giltburg in Berlin

by | Aug 21, 2024 | News

Pianist Boris Giltburg has recently demonstrated his unwavering support for youth orchestras by participating in a short but impactful tour with the National Youth Orchestra of the Netherlands (NJO), which included performances in Apeldoorn, Amsterdam, and culminated in a remarkable concert in Berlin. Giltburg’s dedication to fostering young musical talent was evident during his interpretation of Rachmaninov’s Piano Concerto No. 4, a piece that demands both technical brilliance and emotional depth. Indeed, the Berliner Morgenpost lauded Giltburg’s “warm, chocolaty tone”, reminiscent of the great Arthur Rubinstein (Mario-Felix Vogt).

The Berlin concert, part of the prestigious Young Euro Classic Festival, which celebrated its 25th anniversary, was met with what one critic described as “endless applause”. The effusive review particularly emphasised the value of intergenerational mentoring programmes: “If there was ever proof needed that collaboration between young orchestral talent and experienced conductors and star soloists makes sense, the performance… with pianist Boris Giltburg, could serve as the finest example… I am convinced that Giltburg inspired many of the young musicians with his nuanced, effortlessly light playing… to reflect on questions of expression and the interaction between piano and instruments” (Ingobert Waltenberger, Online Merker).

Watch the Berlin Concert online bellow and experience a unique opportunity to witness a masterful performance by Boris Giltburg and the next generation of classical musicians.

Live at Wigmore Hall, the acclaimed Pavel Haas Quartet joins forces with renowned pianist Boris Giltburg to deliver a mesmerizing performance of two seminal works from the Romantic chamber music repertoire. The concert features Brahms’s Piano Quartet No. 1 in G minor (Op. 25) and Piano Quartet No. 2 in A major (Op. 26).

The performance is introduced by Ian Skelly, who provides context for the pieces and includes Boris’ own appreciation of the rich, somewhat neglected Quartet No. 2, which the pianist defines as “One of the sunniest and least perturbed Brahms pieces”.

Giltburg’s program featured a selection of Chopin’s most evocative nocturnes, including the Nocturne in B Major, Op. 62, No. 1; Nocturne in C-sharp Minor, Op. 27, No. 1; Nocturne in F-sharp Minor, Op. 48, No. 2; Nocturne in F Major, Op. 15 No. 1; Nocturne in G Minor, Op. 37, No. 1; Nocturne in E-flat Major, Op. 55, No. 2; Nocturne in C Minor, Op. 48, No. 1; and Nocturne in E Major, Op. 62, No. 2. Each piece was performed with an exquisite sensitivity that highlighted the emotional depth and technical brilliance of Chopin’s compositions.

In a compelling contrast, Giltburg also presented pieces from the Russian musical canon, including Medtner’s Piano Sonata No. 3 in G Minor, Tchaikovsky’s “Dumka”, and Stravinsky’s “Three Movements from Petrushka”. These selections showcased the rich and diverse textures of Russian classical music, offering a fascinating dialogue between the delicate introspection of Chopin and the robust expressiveness of his Russian counterparts.
