"The thing that attracts me to conducting is that we get the chance to paint with an enormous brush. I play the violin as well, that is a much smaller paint brush. It’s still music, it’s still me, but the kind of colors that you can paint with an orchestra is incredible."

"The thing that captivates me about conducting is that we have the chance to paint with a huge brush. I also play the violin, which is a much smaller brush. It's music too, it's still me, but the kind of colors you can paint with an orchestra are incredible."

"The music we are performing can be personal, but you have to share it whether it is a symphony, or a concerto, or chamber music, or even if it's solo music. If it's alone, you have to listen to yourself, and to the silence which accompanies you. You have to share it with the silence around you."

Marc Bouchkov, violonist.com, May 2013

"Through music I crossed and left behind national boundaries. I’m not making a big political statement. But the reality is that if you give a child a ‘bigger stage’ (music), it’s a transformational experience."

Saleem Ashkar, Yorkshire Magazine, 2015

"The hardest part is the travelling and being far away from the ones you love (children, husband, parents, friends). The best part is being able to touch people with my music and seeing their happy faces after a wonderful concert. I really still believe that music makes people better!"

Sharon Kam, tokafi, March 2008

"A pianist's right hand never has to argue with her left, whereas in a quartet, the integrity of each voice places a unique burden on the others. From the horizontal perspective we are four distinct and highly opinionated voices, from the vertical we are a whole, four interlocking and interdependent voices working in concert."

Cuarteto Casals, 2018

"When playing in a quartet, one of the most important things is to respect all the individual personalities of each member; they are part of the identity of the group."

Loïc Rio / Quatuor Modigliani, Februar 2019

"The hard part is not to prepare something; it’s to let the preparation go."

Erik Schumann / Schumann Quartett, Concerti, May 2017

"Framed by music, language emerges more clearly, framed by language, music shines deeper. Heart and mind are addressed and revitalized in a beautiful, alternating balance, in short: one gives the other a stage."

Welcome BEJUN MEHTA!

With great joy, we welcome Bejun Mehta to our list. “Perhaps the most sophisticated and musically satisfying of today ́s countertenors” (Opera News, 2018) inspires all over the world singing the major roles of his repertoire as well as presenting his award-winning CD and concert programs ranging from baroque to contemporary music in all big concert halls.

In recent years, Bejun Mehta has also successfully made a name for himself as a conductor. In addition to his focus on working on the repertoire of the baroque and early classical periods with modern orchestras, his particular emphasis is on the combination between orchestra and voice.

With immediate effect, we will take over Bejun Mehta’s general management as singer and conductor – we are very much looking forward to an exciting joint path!
