Paavo Järvi
Paavo Järvi studied conducting in his native Estonia, at the Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia and with Leonard Bernstein in Los Angeles. He is chief conductor of the Tonhalle Orchestra Zurich since the 2019–20 season. Järvi has held similar positions with the NHK Symphony Orchestra Tokyo, Orchestre de Paris, hr-Sinfonieorchester Frankfurt, the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra and the Malmö Symphony Orchestra (1994–97).
Since 2004, Järvi has served as artistic director of the Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen. He is also artistic adviser to the Estonian National Symphony Orchestra.
The conductor concludes each season with a week of performances and masterclasses at the Pärnu Music Festival in Estland, which he founded in 2011. Paavo Järvi received many prizes and awards, including the Order of the White Star (2013) en the Order of Merit (2021) from the Republic of Estonia. Both Diapason and Gramophone named Järvi Artist of the Year in 2017, and in September 2019 Opus Klassik named him Conductor of the Year. He won Grammy Awards for his recordings of works by Sibelius, Grieg and Tchaikovsky.
Järvi gives frequent performances as a guest conductor with the Berlin and Vienna Philharmonic Orchestras, Staatskapelle Dresden, the Leipzig Gewandhausorchester and the New York Philharmonic Orchestra. He has been a regular guest with the Concertgebouw Orchestra since his debut in 2004. In November 2019 he conducted the orchestra in works by Beethoven, Brahms and Shostakovich in Amsterdam and on tour in Taiwan and Japan. In 2023 he conducted Prokfievs Fifth Symphony and Beethoven's Violin Concerto featuring Lisa Batiashvili.
Paavo Järvi is an enthusiastic and experienced educator. He has been teaching talented conductors every summer at the Järvi Academy, a permanent part of the Pärnu Festival, which he founded in 2011. ‘As a musician and conductor’, Järvi says, ‘you gain a great deal of experience over the course of your career and build on what you have learned. It is important to me to pass on what I have learned. I was lucky to have great mentors – not only in my family. I therefore see it as my duty to pass this on to young people, to share my experience and to impart knowledge.’
