Sinfoniekonzert des Ebinger Kammerorchesters - Ebinger Kammerorchester meets Spitzenklänge
In this year, the program will be dedicated to Ludwig van Beethoven. Simon Zhu, violin, was born in 2001 and received his first violin lessons at the age of six. His teacher, Renate Musat, who taught for many years at the Albstadt Music and Art School, recognized his extraordinary talent early on and supported him intensely. Initially, he was supported by the association "Spitzenklänge." Later, he received early lessons at various music colleges. He studied at the Mozarteum in Salzburg, at the University of the Arts Berlin, and is currently a student of Prof. Ana Chumachenco at the University of Theatre and Music Munich. After being awarded several times at "Jugend musiziert," he won various competitions as a soloist and as a chamber music partner with his duo partner Adam Tomaszewski, piano.
His success in 2021 at the Menuhin Competition in Richmond, the Mozart Prize, and the EMCY Award was followed in 2023 by the first prize at the international Paganini Competition in Genoa, as well as a special prize for the best Paganini concert. As a result of this award, he has the opportunity to play the violin "il cannone" by Giuseppe Guarneri del Gesù at a series of concert engagements throughout Europe. Otherwise, since 2023, he plays a violin by Bergonzi, Cremona, built around 1760, which is loaned to him by the Stretton Society.
He performs with famous orchestras such as the Berlin Philharmonic, the Salzburg Chamber Soloists, and the Academy of St. Martin in the Fields. He is a scholarship holder at the International Music Academy in Liechtenstein, the German Music Foundation, and was an Academy student at the Hope Music Academy and the Walter Stauffer Academy.
With the Ebinger Kammerorchester, he will perform the famous Violin Concerto by Ludwig van Beethoven, opus 61 in D major. In addition, the Ebinger Kammerorchester will perform Symphony No. 3 in E-flat major, op. 55.
It bears the nickname "Eroica." The 4-movement work is one of the most frequently performed symphonies by Beethoven, and it draws musical inspiration from Beethoven's ballet "The Creatures of Prometheus" in almost all movements.
The Ebinger Kammerorchester is traditionally reinforced by the wind players of the Württemberg Philharmonie Reutlingen.
The musical direction is in the hands of Martin Künstner.
