Patricia Kopatchinskaja
ViolinPatricia
Kopatchinskaja’s focus is to get to the heart of the music, to its meaning for
us - now and here. With a combination of depth, brilliance and humour,
Kopatchinskaja brings an inimitable sense of theatrics to her music. Described
by The New York Times "a player of rare expressive energy and disarming
informality, of whimsy and theatrical ambition", Kopatchinskaja’s
distinctive approach always conveys the core of the work, whether it is with an
out-of-the-box performance of a traditional violin repertoire classic or with
an original staged project she presents as experimental performance dramaturge.
In the
season 2022/23, Kopatchinskaja once again goes beyond boundaries with a daring
musical experiment joining forces with Herbert Fritsch and visual artist Jannis
Varelas to create a Neo-Dada opera production Vergeigt at Theater
Basel. It is Kopatchinskaja’s Artist Spotlight season at the Barbican Centre
and she also takes up the position of Associated Artist of the SWR
Experimentalstudio, one of the most important international research centres in
the field of electronic music. 2022/23 also sees Kopatchinskaja permiere her
new project In search of a lost melody inspired by György
Ligeti’s oeuvre and a revival of Maria Mater Meretrix with Anna
Prohaska on European tour presenting the image of women throughout the
centuries in a musical mosaic, a project that is also released on CD this
season. Further ahead, Kopatchinskaja reunites with longstanding recital
partner in crime – Fazil Say – for an extensive European tour to kick off the
release of their new recording.
Highlights
of the previous season included tours of Europe with the Budapest Festival
Orchestra, Il Giardino Armonico and the Philharmonia Orchestra, a return to the
BBC Proms 2022 and her continued residency as Artistic Partner with Camerata
Bern. Kopatchinskaja brought her unlimited creative potential, versatility, and
diverse repertoire in innovative curated projects to residencies with the
Berliner Philharmoniker, Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France, and Elbphilharmonie
Hamburg enrichting every programme with eccentric re-interpretations.
Her
absolute priority is music of the 20th and 21st century and the collaboration
with living composers such as Luca Francesconi, Michael Hersch, György
Kurtág, Márton Illés, Esa-Pekka Salonen. Kopatchinskaja directs staged
concerts at venues on both sides of the Atlantic and collaborates with leading
orchestras, conductors, and festivals worldwide. Following the international
success of her previous collaboration with the Mahler Chamber Orchestra - Bye Bye
Beethoven -
Patricia Kopatchinskaja returned for the premiere performances of a new concert
staging with the ensemble - Les Adieux - a project confronting
the rapid deterioration of the environment and the loss of the natural world.
Kopatchinskaja’s other projects explore music staged through contemporary
contexts, such as Dies Irae, another musical
reflection on the the growing environmental crisis. She bought this production
to Glasgow during the global COP26 summit. Kopatchinskaja also performs as a
vocal artist in Ligeti’s Mystères du macabre or Schönberg’s
Pierrot
lunaire where
she takes on the role of the Pierrot himself, also in her project presenting
Kurt Schwitters’ poem Ursonate as a film in the style of
Dada. Following its recent showcase at the Berliner Philharmonie and the
Festspielhaus Baden-Baden, Ursonate will be shown at the
Sprengel Museum Hannover, home to the Kurt and Ernst Schwitters Foundation, to
coincide with the 75th anniversary of Kurt Schwitters‘ death.
Kopatchinskaja’s
discography includes over 30 recordings, among them GRAMMY award-winning Death and
the Maiden with Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra, a project which was also
re-created as a semi-staged filmed performance with Camerata Bern, premiered on
HarrisonParrott’s digital platform Virtual Circle. Recent CD releases season
included Les
Plaisirs Illuminés with Sol Gabetta and Camerata Bern, which was
saluted with a BBC Music Magazine award and Le monde selon George
Antheil with
Joonas Ahonen (both on Alpha Classics).
Kopatchinskaja
is a humanitarian ambassador for Terre des Hommes, the leading Swiss child
relief agency and was awarded the Swiss Grand Award for Music by the Federal
Office of Culture for Switzerland in 2017.
