Nikolaj Znaider - Principal Guest Conductor

Perhaps not since the young Gidon Kremer burst upon the violin world in 1970 has a violinist caused quite the stir of Nikolaj Znaider.
Chicago Tribune
Nikolaj Znaider is not only celebrated as one of the foremost violinists of today, but is fast becoming one of the most versatile artists of his generation uniting his talents as soloist, conductor and chamber musician. 

The success of his conducting debut with the Orchestra of the Mariinsky Theater in St. Petersburg on the invitation of Valery Gergiev, has led to numerous conducting invitations with orchestras such as Dresden Staatskapelle, Russian National Orchestra, Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra, English Chamber Orchestra, Bergen Philharmonic, Swedish Chamber Orchestra, Royal Danish Philharmonic, New Zealand Symphony and the Chamber Players of the Munich Philharmonic  at the Mecklenburg festival.  He will also appear as conductor on tour in Europe with the St Paul´s Chamber Orchestra.

As a soloist, Znaider is regularly invited to work with  the world´s leading orchestras including, Vienna Philharmonic, Berlin Philharmonic, Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, London Symphony Orchestra, St. Petersburg Philharmonic, New York Philharmonic, Chicago Symphony, Philadelphia Orchestra, Cleveland Symphony, and enjoys artistic collaborations with acclaimed conductors including Barenboim, Chung, Sir Colin Davis, von Dohnanyi,  Dutoit, Gergiev, Jansons, Maazel, Masur, Mehta, Temirkanov and Thielemann.

Znaider is passionate about the education of musical talent and is Founder and Artistic Director of the NordicMusicAcademy, an annual summer school whose vision it is to create conscious and focused musical development based on quality and commitment. 

An exclusive RCA/SONY BMG MASTERWORKS recording artist, Nikolaj´s award winning recordings of the Bruch, Beethoven and Mendelssohn concerti have been greeted with great critical acclaim. The most recent addition to his discography is the complete works for violin and piano of Johannes Brahms with Yefim Bronfman.  His recording of the Brahms and Korngold Violin Concerti with the Vienna Philharmonic and Valery Gergiev is due for release later this year.
