Takács-Nagy becomes partner of the St. Paul Chamber Orchestra
Gábor Takács-Nagy, founder of the Geneva Camerata Bellerive and professor of string quartet at the Haute Ecole de Musique in Geneva, will be the artistic partner of the Minnesota-based St. Paul Chamber Orchestra.
The Hungarian conductor and violinist Takács-Nagy is considered one of the most authentic representatives of Hungarian music. He was the first to record works by the composer Sándor Veress, who teaches in Bern. In 2005, he founded the string ensemble Camerata Bellerive, which is also the resident orchestra of the Festival de Bellerive in Geneva. In 2006 he became musical director of the Weinberg Chamber Orchestra and a year later of the Verbier Festival Chamber Orchestra (VFKO).
The Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra (SPCO) is a professional chamber orchestra based in Saint Paul, Minnesota. In collaboration with five artistic partners, the orchestra's musicians present more than 130 concerts and educational programs each year at over 14 venues in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area. Past partners include Joshua Bell, Pierre-Laurent Aimard, Douglas Boyd, Edo de Waart and Roberto Abbado.
