"Sometimes exciting concert dramaturgy can be so simple: in this concert program, the two main orchestral groups play two masterpieces of the Russian repertoire separately in the first part and then come together in Franz Schubert's rarely performed sixth symphony." (Andreas Spering)
After initial studies in trumpet at the University of Music in Sofia, Svetoslav Borisov began studying conducting in addition to trumpet at the University of Music and Performing Arts Graz, which he graduated with honors in 2010. His first engagements led the Bulgarian conductor to the Stadttheater Klagenfurt, and initially as Kapellmeister to the Varna Opera, and successfully as a guest conductor to the National Opera Sofia. Since the 2016/2017 season, he has been serving as First Kapellmeister and Deputy GMD at the Theater Magdeburg. Furthermore, he is the Artistic Director of the Austrian chamber orchestra CON FUOCO, which he founded in 2007. From 2013 to 2015, he was the assistant to GMD Steven Sloane and conductor of the Bochumer Symphoniker, as well as the Chief Conductor of the Varna Opera until 2016. He continues to be associated with both houses as a guest conductor. Svetoslav Borisov has gained valuable experience working with many internationally renowned orchestras such as the Beethoven Orchestra Bonn, the Bochumer and Düsseldorf Symphoniker, the Göttinger Symphony Orchestra, the New Philharmonic Westphalia, and the Brandenburg Symphony Orchestra. He has performed in Belgium, China, Germany, Greece, Lithuania, Israel, Ukraine, and Turkey, among others.
