Utopia Orchestrafeaturing Daniel Lozakovich on violin, conducted by Teodor Currentzis
When the charismatic conductor and his Utopia Orchestra grace the stage at the Isarphilharmonie this coming November, it promises to be a performance of exceptional intensity. Beside Stravinsky, the programme features Shostakovich’s Violin Concerto No 1 – a work of great depth that fits perfectly into this space of tension.

“He feels most at home in extreme situations,” wrote Concerti magazine about Teodor Currentzis and his recording of Le sacre du printemps a few years ago. When it comes to Currentzis and Le sacre (The Rite of Spring) – that legendary ballet by Igor Stravinsky that ranges from explosive energy to mysterious fragility and sparked one of the greatest theatre scandals at its world premiere in 1913 – one could almost speak of a kindred spirit.
The solo part is performed by the young Swedish violinist Daniel Lozakovich, who, in his mid-20s, already has a remarkable international career to his name. His approach to music is as sincere as it is poetic. “It is true music that holds a secret within it and connects us with our souls,” wrote the tonkuenstler.at platform.
