Artists Introduction
Conductor|Jun MÄRKL
Jun MÄRKL is a highly respected interpreter of the core German repertory, and has become known for his refined and idiomatic explorations of the French Impressionists. He currently serves as Music Director of the Taiwan Philharmonic (the National Symphony Orchestra), and Principal Guest Conductor of the Residentie Orkest of The Hague. He has also recently been appointed Artistic Advisor of the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra and Principal Guest Conductor of the Oregon Symphony in the United States. His long-standing relationships with the state operas of Vienna, Berlin, Munich, Semperoper Dresden and the Metropolitan Opera New York have been complemented by his music directorships of the Orchestre National de Lyon, the MDR Leipzig Radio Symphony Orchestra and the Basque National Orchestra. In recognition of his achievements in France, he was honored in 2012 with the Chevalier de l'Ordre des Arts et des Lettres.
Born in Munich, MÄRKL won the conducting competition of the Deutscher Musikrat in 1986 and studied at Tanglewood with Leonard BERNSTEIN and Seiji OZAWA. Soon afterwards, he appeared in opera houses throughout Europe, Japan and USA followed by his first music directorships at the Staatstheater Saarbrücken and the Nationaltheater Mannheim.
Violin|Carolin WIDMANN
Carolin WIDMANN's range of activities includes the standard classical repertory, new commissions written especially for her, and, increasingly, performances in which she plays and directs simultaneously. In 2017 WIDMANN was awarded the Bayerischer Staatspreis for music, honoring her individuality and exceptional musicianship. WIDMANN has appeared with many of the world's leading orchestras, including the Berlin Philharmonic, Philharmonia Orchestra, Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra, and Czech Philharmonic. WIDMANN's debut CD, Reflections, was named Critics' Choice of the Year by the German Record Critics' Award Association. She has a special interest in connecting with other art forms, including participation in choreographed concerts, a solo recital in a football stadium in Frankfurt at a project curated by architect Daniel LIBESKIND, and various museum concerts. Since 2006, she has been professor of violin at Leipzig's University of Music and Theater "Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy." Carolin is the sister of conductor-composer Jörg WIDMANN.
