this other now of being
artist-in-residence comes in a way after
a beautiful long period of working
together with the orchestra the relation
with the orchestra goes back quite some
time the very first possibility to work
together was in the summer in the park
it has been always a wonderful
experience this is your Philharmonic
debut as that's right how does it feel
it's great yeah that's big it's so
inspiring to see all these people have
come here and just waiting to listen to
music and having a great time and it's
such more relaxing atmosphere a few
years ago I even went on tour to Europe
it's an orchestra full of incredibly
talented people working with a great
Orchestra something that is fantastic
because it's like big size Joe music
what Allah has established this idea of
people working closer with the orchestra
doing a season is a fantastic idea I
think what one achieves is that one
achieves a certain focus
what is an ultimate honor for me I will
have the pleasure to conduct the
orchestra if somebody told me like eight
or nine years ago that this is going to
be happening I would say yes that's a
very beautiful dream indeed we will also
do a recital with my very dear friend
and collaborator Yuja Wang it's an
ongoing relation that is I think it's
developing and blossoming beautifully
and therefore i'm very happy that this
can also be included to a residence like
this i'm extremely excited because we
are expecting the birth of a new piece
that should be written for this even for
this residency and that would be a
violin concerto by laura alba who is
somebody I know I've played with and
I've played other music from her we have
been deeply impressed
we're going to do the Brahms concerto
which is you know what can one say about
drums every time this concerto together
with five or six others it's like you
feel it makes you feel that you're never
good enough this residency I think it
could not be more completely I feel that
it's going to make this relation with
the orchestra grow much further we will
now have a chance to do so much in so
little time it's a pure pleasure enjoy
