Info:
Powerhouse violinist Patricia Kopatchinskaja, who served as last year's Artistic Director for the Ojai Festival, has a knack for clever programming as seen in her mostly French program with works by Poulenc, Ravel, Enenscu, and Bartok.
Molodovan born violinist and "one of the most distinctive voices in the violin world," Patricia Kopatchinskaja's unique approach shows itself in her diverse repertoire ranging from baroque and classical works played on gut strings, to new commissions and re-interpretations of modern masterpieces. "A player of rare expressive energy and disarming informality, of whimsy and theatrical ambition" (Zachary Woolfe, New York Times, June 2018).
Kopatchinskaja has held the position of Artistic Partner with the Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra since 2014 and was awarded a Grammy in 2018 for their recording, Death and the Maiden (Alpha). Other accolades include the prestigious Swiss Grand Award for Music in 2017, a recognition of exceptional talent and innovation awarded by the Federal Office of Culture for Switzerland.
Pianist Polina Leschenko was born in St Petersburg into a family of musicians and began playing the piano under her father's guidance at the age of six. Two years later she made her solo debut with the Leningrad Symphony Orchestra in St Petersburg. She studied with Sergei Leschenko, Vitali Margulis, Pavel Gililov, Alexandre Rabinovitch-Barakovsky and Christopher Elton.
Leschenko works with orchestras around the world including Camerata Salzburg, Halle, London Mozart Players, Scottish Chamber, Bournemouth Symphony, Britten Sinfonia, Bern Symphony, Russian National, I Pomeriggi Musicali in Milan, Orquesta de Euskadi and Australian Chamber Orchestra. Leschenko also performs frequently at many festivals, including Aldeburgh, Cheltenham, Risor, Stavanger, Istanbul, Progetto Martha Argerich in Lugano, the Salzburg Festival and Musiktage Mondsee
