Mutter‘s Virtuosi Tour 2023

In its 51st year, Istanbul Music Festival celebrates the 60th birthday of Anne-Sophie Mutter, one of the greatest violin virtuosos of our time. The famous German diva will perform an unforgettable concert with the Mutter's Virtuosi string orchestra, which consists of young musicians supported by her eponymous foundation, in the evening to be held in the opera hall of Atatürk Cultural Center, which has risen again in all its glory in Taksim, the heart of Istanbul.

Mutter, who started working with the great conductor in 1976, attracting the attention of Herbert von Karajan with his talent at the age of 13, has become one of the most sought-after musicians in the world in the 47 years that have passed. Proving his mastery every time with the countless albums, concerts and awards he has put into his life, the star has successfully balanced his commitment to the works of traditional composers and his future-oriented face. She has performed the world premieres of more than 30 works to date. Many composers have composed works for Mutter, including Unsuk Chin, Sebastian Currier, Henri Dutilleux, Sofia Gubaidulina, Witold Lutoslawski, Norbert Moret, Krzysztof Penderecki, André Previn, Wolfgang Rihm, Jörg Widmann and John Williams. The artist's humanitarian work and extraordinary artistry have garnered recognition with many awards. Winner of the Grammy Award for "Best Instrumental Solo Performance (with orchestra)" three times, Mutter was awarded the Ernst von Siemens Music Award in 2008 and the "Légion d'honneur" honor in 2009 for his contribution to contemporary French music. Other awards include the Order of Merit of the Federal Republic of Germany, the Mendelssohn and Brahms awards, the Herbert Karajan Music Prize and the Bavarian Order of Merit. The artist, who was awarded the Romanian Order of Culture and the French Order of Arts and Letters in 2017, was awarded an Honorary Membership of the Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia in 2018.

İstanbul Müzik Festivali, 51. yılında çağımızın en büyük keman virtüözlerinden Anne-Sophie Mutter’in 60. yaşını kutluyor. İstanbul’un kalbi Taksim’de tüm ihtişamıyla yeniden yükselen Atatürk Kültür Merkezi’nin opera salonunda gerçekleştirilecek akşamda ünlü Alman diva, kendi adını taşıyan vakfının desteklediği genç müzisyenlerden oluşan Mutter’s Virtuosi yaylı orkestrasıyla birlikte akıllardan kolay kolay çıkmayacak bir konsere imza atacak.

1976’da, daha 13 yaşındayken yeteneğiyle Herbert von Karajan’ın ilgisini çekerek büyük şefle birlikte çalışmaya başlayan Mutter, aradan geçen 47 yıl içerisinde dünyanın en çok aranan müzisyenlerinden biri oldu. Yaşamına sığdırdığı sayısız albüm, konser ve ödülle ustalığını her defasında kanıtlayan yıldız, geleneksel bestecilerin eserlerine olan bağlılığı ve geleceğe dönük yüzü arasında başarılı bir denge kurdu. Günümüze kadar 30’dan fazla eserin dünya prömiyerini gerçekleştirdi. Unsuk Chin, Sebastian Currier, Henri Dutilleux, Sofia Gubaidulina, Witold Lutoslawski, Norbert Moret, Krzysztof Penderecki, André Previn, Wolfgang Rihm, Jörg Widmann ve John Williams gibi birçok besteci Mutter’e özel eserler besteledi. Sanatçının insani çalışmaları ve olağanüstü sanatı, pek çok ödülle takdir topladı. Üç kez “En İyi Enstrümantal Solo Performans (orkestra ile)” dalında Grammy Ödülü kazanan Mutter, 2008’de Ernst von Siemens Müzik Ödülü’ne ve 2009’da çağdaş Fransız müziğine yaptığı katkılardan dolayı “Légion d’honneur” onur nişanına layık görüldü. Diğer ödülleri arasında Almanya Federal Cumhuriyeti Liyakat Nişanı, Mendelssohn ve Brahms ödülleri, Herbert Karajan Müzik Ödülü ve Bavyera Liyakat Nişanı yer alıyor. 2017’de Romanya Kültür Nişanı ve Fransa Sanat ve Edebiyat Nişanı’na layık görülen sanatçıya, 2018’de Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia’nın Onursal Üyeliği verildi. Polonya Kültür Nişanı Gloria Artis’le onurlandırıldı. 2019’da İsveç’in Polar Müzik Ödülü’nün kazananlarından biri olurken aynı yıl Japonya’nın Praemium Imperiale for Music Ödülü’nü kazandı.

Anne-Sophie Mutter, vakfının genç nesil bursiyerlerini profesyonel müzik hayatıyla tanıştırarak, onları daha geniş bir izleyici kitlesiyle buluşturmak için 2011’den beri onları sahnede yalnız bırakmıyor. Anne-Sophie Mutter Vakfı’nın mevcut ve eski bursiyerlerinin yanı sıra seçilmiş diğer genç yıldızlardan oluşan Mutter's Virtuosi, kemancının sanatsal liderliğinde büyüyerek sahnede parlıyor. Avrupa, Kuzey Amerika ve Asya’daki turnelerinde Mutter’s Virtuosi, izleyicileri düzenli olarak yeni eserlerle tanıştırıyor, yardım konserleri veriyor.

Mutter ve ekibi, 51. İstanbul Müzik Festivali’nde müzikseverlerin huzuruna Johann Sebastian Bach’tan André Previn’e uzanan bir repertuvarla çıkacak.
