SELECTED GMJO MUSICIANS ON TOUR WITH THE STAATSKAPELLE DRESDEN: DRESDEN AND SEOUL

10 selected musicians of the GMJO were invited by the Staatskapelle Dresden to go on tour to Dresden and Seoul / South Corea, and to perform in 6 concerts, alongside their professional colleagues, with conductor MYUNG-WHUN CHUNG and with pianist YUNCHAN LIM:

Violin 1

Balthasar Thom

Rebecca Tillmanns

Violin 2

Eline de Vries

Héloïse Lecoustey

Viola

Lorenzo Matteo Giannotti

Davide Pizzo

Cello

Rafael Arreghini

Bernardo Ferreira

Double Bass

Lluc Osca Ribera

Alessandro Spada

They all received individual coaching from the section leaders of the Staatskapelle Dresden.

After the initial concert at the Dresdner Philharmonie – also this being part of the partnership – , they embarked to Seoul for 5 concerts at the Lotte Concert Hall, the Pyeong Taek Arts Center – for its opening concert – and the Seoul Arts Center.

For all participants, this was an unforgettable project, and the GMJO musicians made a lasting impression, some of them being immediately invited to participate in upcoming auditions of the Staatskapelle Dresden.

Our thanks for this wonderful project go to the board, the section leaders and to all musicians and staff of the Staatskapelle Dresden – and to the Dresdner Philharmonie for hosting the initial concert and for providing 2 double basses for the GMJO musicians.
