Biography
Utopia is an international festival orchestra founded by conductor Teodor Currentzis to bring together the best musicians from all around the world. Utopia is structurally, financially, and organizationally independent of any other collectives and institutions. Utopia is an idealistic attempt to find an approach to music creation which makes it possible to reach the inner essence of a musical text. Musicians from dozens of countries take part in the project.
The first Utopia concerts were given in October 2022. The orchestra performed some Stravinsky’s and Ravel’s pieces at some of Europe’s most important venues supporting the project, including Philharmonie Luxembourg, Laeiszhalle Hamburg, Vienna Konzerthaus, and also in the Berliner Philharmonie. Since then, the Utopia Orchestra has gathered together five more times.
In summer 2023 Utopia presented its interpretation of Mahler’s Symphony No. 3 and made its debut at the Salzburg Festival with concert performances of The Indian Queen and Mozart’s c-Moll Messe. To work on this programme, Teodor Currentzis also gathered the Utopia Choir, having invited artists singing in Europe’s leading theatres and ensembles.
During the summer 2024, the Utopia Orchestra and Choir performed Don Giovanni staged by Romeo Castellucci, and Bach’s St Matthew Passion at the Salzburg Festival. Utopia also performed Bruckner’s Symphony No. 9 and Mahler’s Symphony No. 5 in several European concert venues.
