Debuts

A number of conductors and soloists will be guests for the first time in the 2024/25 season.

Very different paths lead to the podium of the Tonhalle Zurich. French singer Nathalie Stutzmann, for example, performed on many major stages before embarking on a second career as a conductor. The Czech Petr Popelka switched from double bass to baton, while the Finn Santtu-Matias Rouvali started out as a percussionist. The Finn Eva Ollikainen and the Russian Tugan Sokhiev, on the other hand, discovered conducting as teenagers. And then there is André de Ridder, a specialist in contemporary music who transcends all stylistic boundaries. They all have just one thing in common: they will be conducting the Tonhalle Orchestra Zurich for the first time in the 2024/25 season. In programmes that are just as different as they are.

Numerous soloists will also be performing with the Tonhalle Orchestra Zurich for the first time in the coming season. South African soprano Golda Schultz makes her debut as a focus artist. Diana Damrau is another soprano who will be familiar to many from her performances at Zurich Opera House. The 25-year-old Japanese pianist Mao Fujita even makes a double debut - in the Série jeunes and in an orchestral concert. Like him, other soloists were also born in the 1990s: the American-Russian violinist Maria Ioudenitch, for example, and the South Korean pianist Seon-Jin Cho. Pianist Anna Vinnitskaya, who will perform Schumann's Piano Concerto, and organist James McVinnie, who will give the Swiss premiere of a contemporary work by American composer Nico Muhly, have been in the business for some time. Cellist Anastasia Kobekina and violinist Augustin Hadelich have already toured with the orchestra - now they are presenting themselves to Zurich audiences for the first time. And then there is a recital to mention: The equally successful and eccentric organist Cameron Carpenter will also be one of our guests in the 2024/25 season.
