Roots
During the communist regime under Ceausescu in the 80s, my Romanian parents left everything behind to start a new life abroad. Having been born in Switzerland and raised in London, my only connection to Romania was through music: Dinu Lipatti, Radu Lupu, Maria Tănase, Taraful Haiducilor, and many others..

JOKER DÉCOUVERTE
(Crescendo magazine)
" [..] Dans cet enregistrement effectué au Victoria Hall de Genève en juin 2021, l’Orchestre de la Suisse romande
est dirigé par l’Américain John Fiore
qui est un chef d’opéra réputé (Metropolitan, Opéra de Bavière ou de Dresde, Opéra de Suède, Grand Théâtre de Genève…).
Installé à Genève depuis 2015 après plusieurs années passées au Deutsches Oper am Rhein puis à Düsseldorf, Fiore a choisi
une carrière de freelance. Il apporte à ces pages, dont la découverte est enrichissante, un probant équilibre esthétique
et en souligne avec soin toute l’originalité.
Une longue tradition unit Pierre Wissmer à la phalange romande : par le passé,
deux de ses directeurs musicaux éminents, Ernest Ansermet puis
Paul Klecki, créateur de L’Enfant et la rose à Dallas
en 1961, ont inscrit sa musique à leurs programmes.

READ ARTICLE
Right from the beginning of a musical adventure that for several years concentrated solely on live performances of the complete Bach Cantatas in Geneva, with three concerts per season, Gli Angeli Genève has been the setting for encounters between some of the most famous singers and instrumentalists of the international baroque scene and young graduates of the High Schools of Music of Basel, Lyon, Lausanne and Geneva.
Since making the decision to establish his own trio with bassist Werner Spies and drummer Hugo Radyn in 2006, Charl du Plessis has alerted audiences to the complexities and capabilities of combining jazz and classic music. The creative possibilities of this musical unit have offered him the means to produce a wide range of music not confined by any style or genre.
She is a multiple prize winner of national and international competitions and a scholarship holder of the Bachwoche Ansbach. She received important impulses from Henri Sigfridsson, Aleksandar Madžar, Brigitte Meyer, Konstantin Lifschitz and Hartmut Höll, among others.
Her performances have taken her to Paris, Bayreuth at the Steingräber & Söhne Piano Factory as part of the Young Master Pianists, to Gladbeck for the Forum of German Music Academies, to the Theater Basel, to Sils Maria and to the Menuhin Festival in Gstaad.
The multi-talented musician was appointed the youngest principal flutist at the Winterthur Symphony Orchestra and at the Lucerne Festival Orchestra with additional conducting responsibilities. It followed a period of full time opera and symphonic conducting.
