Philip Sindy, a native Berliner, moves artistically and personally between worlds. After earning his diploma in trumpet with a focus on jazz and popular music from the Hanns Eisler School of Music in Berlin and the Royal Academy of Music in London, he made a name for himself as both a soloist and sideman in a wide range of musical styles—from pop and jazz to global music.
His artistic résumé includes live performances and tours with acts such as Barbara Schöneberger, Helene Fischer, Marcus Wiebusch, Kettcar, Patrice, Megaloh, Culcha Candela, Alvaro Soler, the Harry Connick Jr. Big Band, Kelly Rowland, Shaggy, Sugar Hill Gang, Thomas D, Estelle, Roy Ayers, Aloe Blacc, and Nneka (to name just a few). He has also contributed to studio recordings with artists including Udo Lindenberg, Mousse T., Die Prinzen, Max Raabe, Max Herre, and Joy Denalane. In addition, Philip Sindy is regularly involved in TV and film productions, both live and in pre-production.
Beyond numerous national festivals, Sindy’s passion for Afrobeat and Ghanaian Highlife has taken him across the globe—over 50 countries on 6 continents. Highlights include Glastonbury (UK), Metamorphose (Tokyo), North Sea Jazz (Netherlands), Creole Jazz (Cape Verde), Montreal Jazz (Canada), Sakifo (Reunion Island), Couleur Café (Brussels), Rock en Seine (Paris), Roskilde (Denmark), and multiple WOMAD festivals (UK, Sicily, Fuerteventura, Adelaide-Australia, New Zealand), as well as performances in Brazil, the USA, Scandinavia, Tanzania, Israel, and Dubai, among many others.
Jae-Chang Sung received a bachelor’s degree in the trumpet from Seoul National University and also graduated from the Malmö Academy of Music in Sweden where he studied with Håkan Hardenberger and Bo Nilsson. Inspired by such achievements, he successfully pursued a Meisterklasse in the trumpet with the highest honours after studying with Prof. Hannes Laübin from the Hochschule für Musik und Theater München in Germany. Furthermore, through actively seeking to display his talent for the trumpet, he won a number of competitions, such as the 27th Japan Wind and Percussion Competition, the 5th Jeju International Brass competition, and the 42nd Dong-A Music competition. Presently, he is working in Seoul National University College of Music as a valued and talented professor. Prior to taking up this post, he was a Professor at Chungnam National University, and played sub-principal trumpet in the Finnish National Opera in Finland, also the Theater Regensburg in Germany.
Håkan Hardenberger is one of the world’s leading soloists, consistently recognised for his phenomenal performances and tireless innovation. Alongside his performances of the classical repertory, he is also renowned as a pioneer of significant and virtuosic new trumpet works.
Hardenberger performs with the world’s foremost orchestras including the Boston Symphony Orchestra, Gewandhausorchester Leipzig, Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, Wiener Philharmoniker, Berliner Philharmoniker and London Symphony Orchestra. Conductors he collaborates with include Daniel Harding, Ingo Metzmacher, Andris Nelsons, Sakari Oramo, Jukka-Pekka Saraste and John Storgårds.
The works written for and championed by Hardenberger stand as key highlights in the repertory and include those by Sir Harrison Birtwistle, Brett Dean, HK Gruber, Hans Werner Henze, Betsy Jolas, Arvo Pärt, Toru Takemitsu, Mark-Anthony Turnage and Rolf Wallin.
In summer 2019 Hardenberger returns to the Tanglewood Music Festival with Boston Symphony Orchestra and Andris Nelsons and to the BBC Proms with BBC National Orchestra of Wales and Markus Stenz for the UK premiere of Tobias Broström’s double concerto for two trumpets with Jeroen Berwaerts. This is followed by a concert at the Musikfest Berlin with Olga Neuwirth’s concerto “Miramondo Multiplo” with BBC Symphony Orchestra and Sakari Oramo. With the latter he can also be heard at the Barbican in November, championing Betsy Jolas’ trumpet concerto “Onze Lieder”. Continuing his residency with the Gewandhausorchester Leipzig, he performs Mieczysław Weinberg’s trumpet concerto and gives HK Gruber’s concerto “Aerial” its 89thperformance since its premiere. Further highlights include his performance of the Dutch premiere of Robin Holloway’s new concerto with Het Residentie Orkest and Nicholas Collon, his return to Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra with Andris Nelsons, Radio-Sinfonieorchester Berlin with Alain Altinoglu, Bamberger Symphoniker with John Storgårds as well as Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra and Orchestre Philharmonique de Luxembourg with Daniel Harding. Hardenberger embarks on his residency with the Seoul Philharmonic in 2020, and appears in a podium swap with HK Gruber with New Zealand Symphony Orchestra. He also returns to the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra in concert as well as curating their Metropolis Festival for contemporary music.
Conducting is an integral part of Hardenberger’s music making. In 2019/20 he conducts the Gewandhausorchester Leipzig, Seoul Philharmonic, Malmo Symphony Orchestra, Swedish Chamber Orchestra and Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra. Duo partnerships include pianist Roland Pöntinen and percussionist Colin Currie, with whom he released a duo recording featuring duo works by composers such as Brett Dean and André Jolivet.
To add to his prolific discography on the Philips, EMI, Deutsche Grammophon and BIS labels, Hardenberger anticipates the release of a concerto recording including Sally Beamish, Betsy Jolas and Olga Neuwirth music (BIS) as well as a recording of Peter Eötvös new version of his trumpet concerto “Jet Stream”.
From 2016 to 2018 Hardenberger was the Artistic Director of the Malmö Chamber Music Festival. Hardenberger was born in Malmö, Sweden. He began studying the trumpet at the age of eight with Bo Nilsson in Malmö and continued his studies at the Paris Conservatoire, with Pierre Thibaud, and in Los Angeles with Thomas Stevens. He is a professor at the Malmö Conservatoire.
Wynton Marsalis is an internationally acclaimed musician, composer and bandleader, an educator and a leading advocate of American culture. He has created and performed an expansive range of music from quartets to big bands, chamber music ensembles to symphony orchestras and tap dance to ballet, expanding the vocabulary for jazz and classical music with a vital body of work that places him among the world’s finest musicians and composers.
Always swinging, Marsalis blows his trumpet with a clear tone, a depth of emotion and a unique, virtuosic style derived from an encyclopedic range of trumpet techniques. When you hear Marsalis play, you’re hearing life being played out through music.
Marsalis’ core beliefs and foundation for living are based on the principals of jazz. He promotes individual creativity (improvisation), collective cooperation (swing), gratitude and good manners (sophistication), and faces adversity with persistent optimism (the blues). With his evolved humanity and through his selfless work, Marsalis has elevated the quality of human engagement for individuals, social networks and cultural institutions throughout the world.
