Germany’s Opus Klassik has announced the 2024 winners, naming The Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen “Orchestra of the Year” for their recording of Haydn London Symphonies Nos 101 and 103 with Paavo Järvi.
The award ceremony takes place in Berlin in October exactly a year after DKAM was voted Gramophone Orchestra of the Year, coinciding with the 20th anniversary celebrations of Paavo Järvi’s Artistic Direction.
From 24 – 26 June Paavo Järvi will lead the seventh edition of the Ammodo Conducting Masterclass, sharing his knowledge and experience with four talented young conductors, who will each be given the opportunity to lead the Concertgebouw Orchestra. The selected candidates are Sebastián Almánzar (Colombia), Dayner Tafur-Diaz (Peru), Zofia Kiniorska (Poland), and Swann van Rechem (France). Each session will be streamed through concertgebouworkest.nl and the orchestra’s YouTube channel on the same day from 7 p.m.
