Strebi Stiftung Luzern – Partner «Debut» concert series
Born in London in 1997, the hornist Ben Goldscheider has long been known to more than new music specialists. Trained by Radek Baborák at the Barenboim-Said Academy, he was one of the “Rising Stars” of the European Concert Hall Organisation in 2021-22, when he was introduced in the great concert venues across the continent. He has performed Ethel Smyth’s Concerto for violin and horn at the BBC Proms and has appeared as a soloist with the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra, the Mozarteum Orchestra Salzburg, the Royal Philharmonic, the London Mozart Players, and the Tapiola Sinfonietta. Not to mention that he is also a member of the Boulez Ensemble and principal horn of the West-Eastern Divan Orchestra and plays chamber music with Daniel Barenboim, Martha Argerich, Sergei Babayan, and Julian Prégardien. What sets Goldscheider apart from many others is his hunger for the unknown. He is passionate about new music and has already commissioned quite a few works, including Mark Simpson’s Nachtstück, with which he gives a contemporary response to Robert Schumann at his debut recital in Lucerne. “We have to open up to contemporary music,” remarks Goldscheider. “Otherwise, this art form will die."
