Rupert's Tear – Teaser
NEW VIDEO OUT NOW: Gabiz talks about his new concept album «RUPERT'S TEAR» and about why he thinks this to be a fitting name for a program like this.
NEW RELEASE
SRF (Swiss Radio and Television) is co-producing Gabiz' next CD (ARS), consisting of a collage of works by Bach/Brahms, Schumann, Rachmaninov and a specially comissioned piece for this program by the German composer Robin Becker.
The CD was recorded in September 2023 and will now be cut and mastered. The release-date is not yet known.
Neeme Järvi Prize 2024
The Neeme Järvi Prize 2024 is given to young conductors and consists of invitation to Switzerland's major symphony orchestras. For Musikkollegium Winterthur, Gabiz got the chance to judge in the final concert and give his votes for potential invitees in Winterthur!
Concours Géza Anda
Gabiz got to work in the jury corps for the Musikkollegium Winterthur at the Concours Géza Anda 2024, to select the winner of the new prize "WILD CARD", a recital prize for someone that didn't make it through to the semi-finals. This new prize – co-created by Gabiz – is thought to shed some light on the arbitrary nature of competitions and the difficulty of objectivity in judging art.
