Soloists

We are passionate about working with international soloists.

We have longstanding friendships with some soloists, while other connections will grow or even be forged this season.

The violinist Vilde Frang is just one of many top-class soloists who will be our guests in the season 2023/24. Janine Jansen and Pekka Kuusisto, among others, will also travel with the violin. Hélène Grimaud, Olli Mustonen, Víkingur Ólafsson, Alice Sara Ott, Francesco Piemontesi and many more will sit behind the piano. They are joined by cellist Sol Gabetta, oboist Cristina Gomez Godoy, singer Barbara Hannigan and many more.
