Project utopia5/15/2023 ![]() ![]() This is a long-nurtured idea of a large number of musicians from all corners of the world: to unite people with a shared musical ideology in order to create without compromise what our musical imagination comes up with. Said Teodor Currentzis, Utopia’s Artistic Director : Therefore, Utopia is not so much an orchestra in the conventional sense of the word, but rather a special creative community, a team of like-minded people dedicated to finding the best sound and the true spirit of a musical composition. Utopia’s point of departure is the simple truth that the willingness of musicians to devote themselves to serious preparatory and research work is just as important as musical mastery in order to achieve visionary artistic goals. ![]() The first Utopia concerts are to be given in the first half of October in some of Europe’s most important venues supporting the project, namely Philharmonie Luxembourg, Laeiszhalle Hamburg, Wiener Konzerthaus, and also in the Berliner Philharmonie. The negotiations took a long while, and now the project is ready to be launched. An idea to bring together soloists and concertmasters from different orchestras into a single ensemble emerged several years ago. The collective’s artistic director and creator is the Greek conductor Teodor Currentzis. In its substance, it is an idealistic attempt to find an approach to music creation which makes it possible to reach the inner essence of a musical text. First tour in October will include Philharmonie Luxembourg, Laeiszhalle Hamburg, Wiener Konzerthaus, and Berliner Philharmonieįrom a formal point of view, Utopia is a new international orchestra that wants to bring together the best musicians from all around the world.
