With members selected from among the world’s finest musicians under the age of 27, the Schleswig-Holstein Festival Orchestra has enjoyed a superb reputation worldwide. Imbued with the spirit of Leonard Bernstein’s founding precepts — mutual understanding, respect, tolerance, the universality of music, and a vital focus on their role as global citizens — these passionate and dedicated musicians work with experienced teachers and outstanding conductors from the Berlin Philharmonic, the Munich Philharmonic, and other notable ensembles. The charismatic 27-year-old pianist Lang Lang, heralded as the “biggest, most exciting keyboard talent encountered in many years” by The Chicago Tribune, appears as soloist alongside his longtime artistic collaborator Christoph Eschenbach, who conducts the inspiring program of Prokofiev and Brahms.
