Ruben Gazarian, the conductor, was appointed artistic director of the Georgian Chamber Orchestra Ingolstadt in 2015, in addition to his role with the Württemberg Chamber Orchestra Heilbronn.
Composer's Artistic Vision
Martinu considered himself a "concerto grosso type," valuing the form's strict adherence to a plan, balanced dynamics, and rigorous thematic structure over the emotional demands of a symphony.
Composition History
For a long time, Martinu's Concerto and Concertino for Piano Trio and String Orchestra were mistakenly thought to be the same work due to their similar titles.
Performer Biography
The Storioni Trio is a leading expert in the triple concerto repertoire and has commissioned and premiered new triple concertos by contemporary composers.
Composer Biography
Bohuslav Martinu, a Czech composer, grew up in the tower apartment of St. Jacob's Church in Polička, which those close to him believed contributed to his solitary nature.
Compositional Technique
Martinu's Partita, also known as Suite No.1, incorporates themes from old folklore, processed with a Bartókian modernism, and arranges a "defile of (virtual) dances."
Historical Context
The Georgian Chamber Orchestra Ingolstadt was founded in 1964 in Tbilisi, Georgia, and moved to Ingolstadt, Germany, in 1990, where it continues to primarily feature musicians from Eastern Europe.
