Andrew Manze - Artist-in-Residence/Baroque

The first modern super star of the baroque violin

Andrew Manze has been working with the Swedish Chamber Orchestra as Artist in Residence since 1999. As one of today´s most passionate and articulate advocates of early music his knowledge and skills have played an important role in broadening the stylistic palette of the ensemble whilst maintaining their chamber music quality. 

From early on the Swedish Chamber Orchestra realised the benefits of establishing an on-going working relationship with specialists in various fields not only to help develop the ensemble´s musical style but also to keep the musicians abreast of the musical world at large. This has been particularly important to an orchestra which is not based in a major European city, where different musical ex per iences are readily on offer every day.  Yet Örebro offers a unique environment where programmes can be developed andper formed away from the international limelight which benefits both the ensemble and the visiting artist.

With the luxury of regular and intense time to work together Andrew Manze  and the musicians of the Swedish Chamber Orchestra have explored an array of re per toire which has recently combined church sonatas by Biber and Mozart, Bach and Mozart keyboard concertos (with Jonathan Biss as soloist), suites by Bach and Telemann, music by Beethoven and his contemporaries and dance music by Zelenka and Mozart.  As Andrew Manze broadens his horizons from early music specialist to conductor the programming acknowledges this through re per toire that extends from the baroque to classical and beyond.

In Spring 2008 Andrew Manze returns to Örebro to conduct  a programme focusing on a late symphony of Mozart coupled with Bach's third suite for orchestra and in Spring 2009 the highlight will be concertanteper formances of Beethoven´s Fidelio with Nina Stemme in the title role of Leonore.
