Info zu Symphonies in 3 Movements

Die Dirigentin Bar Avni, Gewinnerin des La Maestra-Wettbewerbs 2024 in Paris und Trägerin von vier weiteren Preisen, verfolgt eine äußerst vielversprechende Karriere. Die in Israel geborene Musikerin studierte zunächst Schlagzeug, bevor sie sich dem Dirigieren zuwandte. Zu ihren Mentoren zählen Yoav Talmi, Barbara Hannigan und Ayelet Geva; außerdem hat sie Dirigenten wie Gustavo Dudamel, Klaus Mäkelä und Myung-Whun Chung assistiert. Avni ist bekannt dafür, dass sie gezielt Programme abseits ausgetretener Pfade sucht. Das zeigt sich auch auf ihrer ersten Aufnahme mit dem Orchestre National Bordeaux Aquitaine, die Musik von Charlotte Sohy, Darius Milhaud, Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach und Igor Stravinsky vereint. Das Programm eröffnet Sohys Sinfonie „Grande Guerre“, die 1914 entstand, aber erst 2019 uraufgeführt wurde. Milhaud komponierte 1917 seine erste der sechs Petites Symphonies, während er Sekretär des französischen Botschafters in Brasilien, Paul Claudel, war. Die sprühende Sinfonie von C. P. E. Bach aus dem Jahr 1775 leitet über zum abschließenden Werk von Stravinsky – seiner ersten großen Komposition nach der Übersiedlung in die USA um 1940, der Sinfonie in drei Sätzen… Drei Sätze, das ist der rote Faden, der sich durch die Werke dieser sinfonischen Reise zieht.

Bar Avni, Dirigentin

Orchestre National Bordeaux Aquitaine
Heir to the Orchestre de la Société Sainte-Cécile founded in 1850, the Orchestre National Bordeaux Aquitaine boasts some 100 musicians and is one of France’s most prestigious orchestras. A full member of the Opéra National de Bordeaux, the ONBA offers a vast symphonic season in Bordeaux, summer concerts and chamber music through its “soloist formations”. It also accompanies lyrical and choreographic performances, while multiplying its social activities and those aimed at young audiences. The ONBA fulfills its regional and national mission, playing regularly outside its walls, in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region as well as in numerous concert halls and festivals (Chorégies d’Orange, Philharmonie de Paris, Théâtre des Champs-Élysées, Salzburg Festival, Festival de la Chaise-Dieu, Festival de Montpellier…). His latest recordings have received critical acclaim: Pelléas et Mélisande (conducted by Pierre Dumoussaud), “Figaro? Sí! – Rossini” with baritone Florian Sempey (conducted by Marc Minkowski), tenor Pene Pati’s first CD (conducted by Emmanuel Villaume, Diapason d’or), Robert Le Diable (conducted by Marc Minkowski) and Mythologies (music by Thomas Bangalter, conducted by Romain Dumas).

The Orchestre National Bordeaux Aquitaine is financed by the Bordeaux City Council, with the support of the Ministry of Culture and the Aquitaine Regional Council.

Bar Avni
won first prize at the 2024 La Maestra competition in Paris, awarded by an illustrious jury chaired by Natalie Stutzmann. An undisputed laureate, Bar Avni swept all the competition’s awards, also winning the Orchestra Prize, the Arte Prize, the Echo Prize, and the Prize of French Concert Halls and Orchestras. For the next two years, she is a fellow of the La Maestra Academy. Subsequently, her work garnered significant interest, and invitations were immediately extended by several major international orchestras. Avni’s astute and creative programming, combined with her clear yet elegant conducting style, makes a strong impression on all who encounter her.

Bar Avni is currently the Principal Conductor of the Bayer Philharmoniker, a position she has held since 2021. She is the first woman to hold this position in the orchestra’s 120-year history. She is deeply committed to promoting new young talent and has worked closely with the Bayer team to design a number of exciting projects in music education, a subject particularly close to her heart.

A classical percussionist by training, the Israeli conductor first performed with leading orchestras in her home country. Her desire to conduct then led her to Tel Aviv, where she studied with Yoav Talmi, later becoming Assistant Conductor of the Israel Chamber Orchestra under Talmi’s direction. She continued her studies with Martin Sieghart in Graz and Ulrich Windfuhr in Hamburg. In 2017/18, Avni served as Assistant to the General Music Director, Peter Kuhn, at the Bergischer Symphoniker, and in 2021, she became the youngest laureate and fellow of the International Kurt Masur Institute.
