An explosive start to the season
With an explosive start, Andrés Orozco-Estrada opened his sixth and final season in Vienna as principal conductor of the Tonkünstler Orchestra. Since assuming this role he has opened each concert season of the Tonkünstler with the world premiere of an Austrian composer in the Vienna Musikverein -- this year was the turn of the Triple Concerto for Trumpet, Trombone and Tuba by Bernd Richard Deutsch, Hindemith prize-winner in 2014. The programme also featured Maurice Ravel's Second Daphnis et Chloé Suite and Dvorák's 9th Symphony (From the New World).
Andrés Orozco-Estrada's musicianship "combines accessibility with analytical perspicacity", as attested by Der Standard's music critic. "We have already sensed this for some time -- but now we can say with certainty: This man has all the makings of a world class musician."
