We are thrilled to announce that Anastasia Kobekina has signed with Sony Classical.

Congratulations, Anastasia!
Pianist Yulianna Avdeeva makes her Pentatone debut with Resilience, presenting music by Szpilman, Shostakovich, Weinberg and Prokofiev, composers who – each in their own way – maintained themselves in times of great instability. The focal point of this album is Władysław Szpilman, a Polish Jew who survived World War II thanks to the power of his music, and is widely known as the title hero of Roman Polanski’s award-winning film The Pianist. Incited by the unique opportunity to play on Szpilman’s house piano, this recording project helped Avdeeva to cope with the challenges of our current times, and it may offer fortitude and consolation to listeners as well.
Bomsori will be the soloist at legendary “Concerts in the Parks” of the New York Philharmonic in June 2022, performing Bruch’s Violin Concerto No.1 under the baton of the music director Jaap van Zweden.

Bomsori presents her solo debut album on Deutsche Grammophon. Set for international release on 18 June 2021, Violin on Stage includes works written for or inspired by opera or ballet. Recorded at the state-of-the-art National Forum of Music in Wrocław last December with the NFM Wrocław Philharmonic and its Music Director Giancarlo Guerrero, the album also captures the close bond Bomsori feels with Poland, its music and its musicians.
The violinist’s chosen repertoire reflects her desire to communicate with her audiences through her instrument’s expressive voice. “I’m not a loud person – I usually don’t talk much in everyday life,” she says. “But that’s why I love playing the violin, because I can speak and communicate through music. I’ve loved singing and ballet since I was a small child and am always moved by hearing voices and watching dancers. I wanted to bring that special spirit of poetry and drama to listeners through my instrument, which can sing freely in these wonderful pieces. Read more...
For Korean violinist Bomsori, the past year has been one of her busiest yet, with numerous live and streamed performances and her first solo recording for Deutsche Grammophon. As she takes her next steps on the road to international renown, she shares her guiding principles with Andrew Mellor
Bomsori Kim was given her distinctive name by her grandfather. Unusual in her native Korea, Bomsori translates literally as ‘sound of spring’. ‘I was actually born in winter, not spring,’ the violinist explains, ‘but as winter is cold and difficult, he wanted me to bring some nice spring news into the world.’ As I talk to Kim after the longest of winters, on a sunny 1 April, it’s easy to relate to her grandfather’s thinking.

Berlin, 22 February 2021.
Deutsche Grammophon announce the signing of an exclusive agreement with Bomsori Kim.
“I feel truly honoured to join Deutsche Grammophon and follow in the footsteps of so many legendary artists,” says Bomsori Kim. “The Yellow Label stands for excellence and the best of tradition. It is also committed to reaching new audiences and connecting as many people as possible via the powerful emotions of great music. I share that commitment and want to communicate to the world through music. I hope my new album for DG will touch and inspire listeners of all ages.”
“It’s my great pleasure to welcome Bomsori to the Yellow Label,” comments Dr Clemens Trautmann, President Deutsche Grammophon. “Her extraordinary virtuosity is matched by an ability to make the violin sing. We love the way she’s prepared to take risks in the moment of performance and the heartfelt poetry of her playing. Bomsori’s DG debut solo album is a tremendous showcase for her artistry and we look forward to creating many more recordings with her in future.”
“There’s something deeply personal about Bomsori’s playing,” notes Angelika Meissner, DG’s Director Classical, Artists & Repertoire. “Her interpretations hold audiences spellbound with their epic power and poetic beauty. Violin on Stage shows why she’s regarded by fellow musicians and leading critics as one of today’s star performers.”
As a focus artist, Bomsori Kim will be on stage with eight concerts at the Rheingau Music Festival 2021, presenting her entire artistic skills together with various musical partners. She will kick things off as part of our focus "Spot on: Mozart," in which she will bring all five of the classical composer's violin concertos to the cloisters of Eberbach Abbey with Camerata Salzburg (July 10, 5 p.m. and 8 p.m. & July 11, 4 p.m. and 7 p.m.). Bomsori Kim shows that she is also comfortable outside of classical music in a piano trio with cellist Maximilian Hornung (July 25), among others. The program here includes piano trios by Mendelssohn Bartholdy and Dvořák, as well as other chamber music. Together with the Tenebrae Choir, this year's focus ensemble, Bomsori Kim delves deep into the Baroque era. On this evening, Bach's Partita No. 2 in D minor for solo violin BWV 1004 merges with selected chorales by the composer, opening up a very special perspective on this monument of violin literature (Aug. 14, 6 p.m. and 9 p.m.). With Tchaikovsky's Violin Concerto in D major op. 35, which she brings to the stage of the Kurhaus Wiesbaden together with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and Vasily Petrenko (Sept. 2, 5 p.m.and 8 p.m.), Bomsori Kim concludes her summer full of music in the Rheingau 2021.
We are happy to announce the exclusive collaboration with
VAN CLIBURN INTERNATIONAL PIANO COMPETITION.
Together with THE CLIBURN, we provide our personalized career management services for the Gold Medalist of
the SIXTEEN VAN CLIBURN INTERNATIONAL PIANO COMPETITION.
NEW PROJECT:
Merregnon: Land of Silence is a brand new symphonic fairy tale from Merregnon Studios. Featuring original music by internationally renowned composer Yoko Shimomura and a story by popular German children’s author Frauke Angel, Merregnon: Land of Silence will take listeners on a magical journey of musical adventures when it premieres in Stockholm, March 9, 2021 at the Konserthuset Stockholm, with the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra.
Voice of Hope, Camille Thomas’s second album for Deutsche Grammophon, is set for international release on 5 June 2020.
The Franco-Belgian cellist’s programme pays tribute to people’s ability to triumph over adversity, create harmony in place of chaos, and overcome hatred with love. It presents the world premiere recording of Fazil Say’s concerto Never Give Up, a response to terrorist attacks in Paris and Istanbul written for and premiered by Thomas, and also includes an exquisite selection of songs, prayers and laments, Bruch’s Kol Nidrei, Purcell’s “When I am laid in earth” and Ravel’s Kaddisch among them.
The centrepiece of her album, Never Give Up, began life in 2014 with the first meeting between the young cellist and Turkish composer and pianist Fazil Say, known for his outspoken political convictions as well as his wide-ranging artistry. Never Give Up, like his earlier Gezi Park trilogy, is a political statement made through music – a plea to world leaders not to surrender to terrorism and violence. This dramatic work sends the cello’s voice in search of peace, soaring high above orchestral depictions of conflict. In the end, as she explains, Fazil Say “leads us away towards the light, to Nature, with its sounds of water and birdsong, and towards the idea that we must never give up hope on humanity and beauty”.
We are delighted to announce worldwide, exclusive representation of Game Concerts.
Since the premiere in 2003 the Game Concerts music has been performed by the world-renowned orchestras like the London Symphony Orchestra; the San Francisco Symphony; the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra; the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra; the Tokyo Philharmonic Orchestra; the Beethoven Orchestra Bonn; the Netherlands Philharmonic Orchestra; and the Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestra.
The Game Concerts brand has seen shows performed in some of the world’s finest concert halls: the Concertgebouw Amsterdam, Konserthuset Stockholm, Philharmonie de Paris, Gewandhaus zu Leipzig, Barbican Centre London, Vienna Concert Hall and Philharmonie Berlin.
Game Concerts’ Final Symphonyalbum hit the number 1 spot on the iTunes Classical Charts in more than ten countries at launch, and entered the Classical Album Top 5 of both the Billboard Charts and the Official UK Charts. It was recorded by the London Symphony Orchestra at Abbey Road Studios.
With a primarily young audience, mainly aged 16 to 35, these concerts are, for many, their first real contact with an orchestral music performance.

这位知名的艺术家透过他的生命启发了许多年轻的音乐家,并于2002年与四位门徒组成了「祖克曼室内乐团」(Zukerman Chamber Players)。祖克曼室内乐团经常受邀至全美各地著名的音乐节演出,也曾受邀到世界各地,如伦敦的BBC逍遥音乐节 (BBC Proms)、阿姆斯特丹的大会堂、义大利的科托纳音乐节 (Cortona
Festival),以及维也纳、巴黎、米兰、布达佩斯、那不勒斯、巴塞隆纳、哥本哈根、韦尔比亚、华沙、埃里温等地演出。
祖克曼曾于1997年4月访问中国,在北京举办音乐会。这一次他将携自己的「祖克曼室内乐团」再次来华演出,为“北京音乐厅2013国际古典系列演出季”的观众奉上一场无与伦比的音乐会!
