The Tonhalle Orchestra is one of Europe’s most exquisite symphony groups. It was officially created in 1868 by conductor Frederich Hegar, who directed it for more than 40 years. Other conductors who have commanded the orchestra include Charles Dutoit, Christoph Eschenbach and David Zinman.
Its new musical director is the young French conductor Lionel Bringuier, who worked as a resident conductor at the Los Angeles Symphony Orchestra alongside Esa Pekka Salonen and Gustavo Dudamel.
Nelson Freire, the most famous Brazilian pianist and one of the greatest among the great piano players worldwide, has performed five times for Cultura Artística. He recently released a CD with Concert for Piano n. 2 by Chopin, with Gürzenich Orchester Köln, under the conduction of Lionel Bringuier.
