Ruth Reinhardt
ConductorRuth
Reinhardt is the newly appointed music director of the Rhode Island
Philharmonic, commencing with the 25-26 season, the fifth in the orchestra’s 80-year
history, and serves as music director designate in the 24-25 season.
In
24-25 Ms. Reinhardt will conduct orchestras on four continents – Europe, North
America, and makes her debuts in Asia with both the Seoul Philharmonic and Hong
Philharmonic, as well as in South America with the São Paulo State Symphony Orchestra (OSESP). She begins
the season at the Lucerne Festival conducting a program dedicated to and
celebrating the centennial of Pierre Boulez with the Lucerne Festival
Contemporary Orchestra, and includes debuts with symphony orchestras in Bamberg,
Nuremberg, Beethovenhalle in Bonn, Netherlands Radio Philharmonic, and the
Residentie Orchester in the Hague, along with return visits to the RSB Berlin,
and Stockholm (Philharmonic) and Malmö Sweden. In the US, Ms. Reinhard will conduct
the Rhode Island Philharmonic, and make debut appearances with the St Louis
Symphony and Charlotte Symphony and return engagements with the Milwaukee and
San Diego symphony orchestras.
Programmatically, Reinhardt’s
interests have led her toward an in-depth exploration of contemporary repertoire,
leading the symphonic and orchestral world into the 21st century. Strongly
centered on European composers, with significant emphasis on women composers of
the second half of the 20th century and early 21st century, she brings new
names and fresh faces to many orchestras for the first time. Among those whose
works appear often in her progams are Grażyna Bacewicz, Kaija Saariaho, Lotta
Wennäkoski, Daniel Bjarnason, Dai Fujikura, and Thomas Adès. Parallel
programming can be complementary or contrasting, from the classic moderns such
as Lutosławski, Bartok, Stravinsky, and Hindemith, or core composers of the
symphonic canon – e.g. Brahms, Rachmaninoff, Dvorak.
In recent seasons, Ruth Reinhardt has
made an important series of symphonic debuts in North America with the New York
Philharmonic, Cleveland Orchestra, and symphony orchestras of San Francisco,
Detroit, Houston, Baltimore, Milwaukee, and Seattle. In Europe, her appearances
have been no less impressive – the Orchestre National de France, Frankfurt
Radio Symphony, Tonkünstler Orchestra, Royal Stockholm Philharmonic, and Berlin
Radio Symphony Orchestra (RSB), to name several.
Born
in Saarbrucken, Germany into a medical family – both parents and her sister are
physicians – Reinhardt knew early that music would be her calling, and studied
violin and composition, writing an opera
while still in high school. Her
studies took her first to the Zürcher Hochschule der Künste, violin
with Rudolf Koelman and conducting with Constantin Trinks and Johannes Schlaefli, and continued at The Juilliard School of Music in the conducting class of Alan
Gilbert and James Ross. Upon graduation she joined the Dallas Symphony for two
seasons as assistant conductor to Jaap van Zweden, and was simultaneously a Dudamel
Fellow of the Los Angeles Philharmonic, and in summer was assistant conductor
to the Luzern Festival Academy to artistic co-directors Wolfgang Rihm and
Matthias Pintscher. Previous fellowships include the Seattle Symphony
(2015-2016) and Tanglewood Music Center (2015), and Taki Concordia associate
conducting fellow (2015-2017). Ruth
Reinhardt currently resides in Switzerland.
