The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra's
Acknowledged as one of the UK’s most prodigious orchestras, the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra (RPO) enjoys an international reputation for bringing audiences worldwide first-class performances and the highest possible standards of music-making across a diverse range of musical repertoire. This was the vision of the Orchestra’s flamboyant founder Sir Thomas Beecham, whose legacy is maintained today as the Orchestra thrives under the exceptional direction of its new Artistic Director and Principal Conductor, Maestro Charles Dutoit.

Since its formation in 1946, the Orchestra has been directed by some of the world’s finest conductors, most notably Rudolf Kempe, Antal Doráti, André Previn, Vladimir Ashkenazy and more recently Daniele Gatti. Other high-ranking conductors who regularly take the podium include Leonard Slatkin and Pinchas Zukerman as Principal Guest Conductors, Grzegorz Nowak as Principal Associate Conductor and Dirk Joeres and Garry Walker as Permanent Guest Conductors. Daniele Gatti continues his association with the Orchestra as Conductor Laureate.

The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra is London-based and performs a prestigious series of concerts each year at Southbank Centre’s Royal Festival Hall. The 2009-2010 season features Charles Dutoit, Renée Fleming, Vadim Repin, Chloë Hanslip and Freddy Kempf. The Orchestra’s London home is at Cadogan Hall, in the heart of the capital, just off Sloane Square. This idyllic location offers an intimate atmosphere for concert-goers, with the current series of concerts featuring Lara St John, Andrew Litton, Nicolae Moldoveanu and winner of the London International Piano Festival 2009, Behzod Abduraimov. Complementing the concert series at Cadogan Hall, the Orchestra regularly performs in the magnificent Royal Albert Hall, presenting works of great magnitude in a varied series of concerts, ranging from large-scale choral and orchestral works to themed evenings of contemporary popular repertoire, all designed to suit the immensity of this historic and grand venue.

Within the UK, the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra is committed to offering an extensive regional touring programme, with established residencies in Croydon, Northampton, Lowestoft, Reading and Crawley. The Orchestra also gives regular performances at other venues throughout the UK, including forthcoming engagements in Ipswich, High Wycombe and Dartford. As an international orchestra, the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra has toured more than thirty countries in the last five years. Recent tours have included performances in Egypt, Russia, Spain, Italy, Germany, the USA, China and the Far East, and the 2009-2010 season features extensive European tours under Charles Dutoit with artists including Martha Argerich, Joshua Bell, Renée Fleming, Sol Gabetta and Nigel Kennedy; a major tour to Japan with Freddy Kempf and further concerts in Italy with Pinchas Zukerman. From 2010, the RPO holds the prestigious position of Resident Orchestra for the International Music Festival in Montreux, Switzerland.

The Orchestra is also recognised for its artistic work through a vibrant and innovative community and education programme, titled RPO resound. Specially trained members of the Orchestra, alongside accomplished project leaders, provide comprehensive workshops where music is used as a powerful and inspirational force. RPO resound prides itself on working in a wide variety of settings, including projects connected with homeless people, youth clubs, the probation service and terminally ill children.

Frequently found in the recording studio, the Orchestra records extensively for film and television as well as for all the major commercial record companies. The Orchestra also owns its own record label and is proud to be the first UK orchestra to stream its entire series of concerts live from Cadogan Hall.

英国皇家爱乐乐团简介（英汉对照译）

带着要献上最顶尖的演出和最伟大音乐的宏图大志，托马斯•比彻姆爵士于1946年建立了皇家爱乐乐团。如今乐团在新任艺术总监及首席指挥查尔斯•迪图瓦的带领下始终秉承比彻姆爵士的理念，与当今世上最知名的一些艺术家一道，为英国乃至全球的听众带来最高水准的音乐演出。

自成立至今的六十年里，乐团由一些世界上最好的指挥家出任指挥，最知名的包括鲁道夫•肯佩、安塔尔•多拉第、安德雷•普列文、弗拉基米尔•阿什肯纳齐等。在丹尼尔•盖提（自1996年来任音乐总监）的出色领导下，皇家爱乐乐团蒸蒸日上，日程表被一系列音乐会、巡演和录音排满。乐团很高兴的宣布：自2009/2010演出季开始，查尔斯•迪图瓦将成为乐团的艺术总监和首席指挥，同时丹尼尔•盖提仍将出任荣誉指挥。

乐团立足伦敦在英国南岸艺术中心皇家节日大厅上演一系列大型交响音乐会。 2009-2010演出季中，乐团与查尔斯•迪图瓦（Charles Dutoit）、瑞妮•弗莱明（Renée Fleming）、瓦基姆•列宾（Vadim Repin）、韩丝莉（Chloë Hanslip）、弗瑞狄•肯普夫（Freddy Kempf）等知名艺术家的成功合作使这一乐季星光熠熠。英国皇家爱乐乐团在伦敦的主要演出场地为卡多甘音乐厅（Cadogan Hall）， 此厅位于伦敦市区的黄金地段，比邻著名的斯洛恩广场（Sloane Square）。这样得天独厚的地理位置为乐团营造了非常浓厚的艺术氛围，从而不断地吸引到来自世界各地活跃的音乐会常客，目前这一乐季乐团在卡多甘还迎来了拉腊•圣•约翰（Lara St John）、安德鲁•立顿(Andrew Litton) 及2009伦敦国际钢琴节大奖得主贝扎德•阿巴杜瑞莫夫（Behzod Abduraimov）等艺术家的合作。此外，乐团的重大演出都会在皇家阿尔伯特音乐厅上演。演出内容涵盖大型合唱音乐会、主题之夜交响音乐会及流传度很高的当代音乐作品等各类演出形式。乐团在安排节目的过程中都会以衬托皇家阿尔伯特音乐厅的恢宏气势为方向， 使整个系列的演出与这一历史悠久的著名音乐殿堂相得益彰。

皇家爱乐乐团以在首都的演出为起点，组织一系列地区巡演包括北安普顿、罗斯特伏特、温布尔顿、卡特福德和克劳利等。乐团在每年夏季还会为国内数万名观众演出露天音乐会。作为一支国际性交响乐团，皇家爱乐乐团最近五年内已在超过30个国家举行了巡回演出，包括在埃及、俄罗斯、西班牙、意大利、德国、美国、远东地区、梵蒂冈为保罗二世教皇所作的演出及在中国天安门广场的演出等。2009-2010演出季，乐团在首席指挥查尔斯•迪图瓦的带领下在欧洲进行了一系列的巡演，其中与马尔塔•阿格里齐（Martha Argerich）、约书亚•贝尔（Joshua Bell）、瑞妮•弗莱明（Renée Fleming）, 修儿•嘉碧妲（Sol Gabetta）、奈吉尔•肯尼迪（Nigel Kennedy）等知名艺术家的成功合作成为巡演的两点；另外，乐团在日本巡演中与弗瑞狄•肯普夫（Freddy Kempf）及意大利巡演与夏平斯•祖克曼（Pinchas Zukerman）的合作也为乐团整个演出季添上了浓墨重彩一笔。自2010年起，英国皇家爱乐乐团成为瑞士蒙特勒国际音乐节的驻场乐团。

皇家爱乐乐团通过一个富有创新及活力的社区和教育计划拓展着她的艺术工作。使用音乐这样一个有力的工具，乐团实施了与年轻的无家可归者、青年俱乐部、缓刑犯、患有先天性疾病的儿童、学校及家庭相关的系列项目。乐团社区及教育项目推动了反映个性和乐团背景的现场音乐演出的发展。

英国皇家爱乐乐团所录制的唱片在世界各地均有发行，唱片内容从电视、电影配乐到各大主要唱片公司的委约作品。此外，乐团亦有着她自己的唱片标签，英国皇家爱乐乐团同时也是英国第一个在甘多卡音乐厅灌录乐团整个系列音乐会现场录音的团体。

 指挥介绍（可用于新闻稿及无需英文对照之宣传品）

平夏斯•祖克曼（英国皇家爱乐乐团首席客座指挥）

平夏斯•祖克曼（Pinchas Zukerman，1948～）是20世纪十大小提琴家中最年轻的一位。1948年7月16日出生于以色列特拉维夫, 犹太人。从小随父亲学习，最初学雷高德笛和单簧管，8岁考入特拉维夫音乐学院，随小提琴泰斗费赫尔学习小提琴。

1962年在斯特恩及美国－以色列基金会的赞助下，至美国朱丽叶音乐学院，随小提琴教育家加拉米安深造。1966年参加意大利斯波莱托音乐节，崭露头角。1967年在纽约参加第25届莱文特里德比赛，与同学郑京和并列第一名。1968-1969年替代生病的斯特恩参加一系列演出，一举成名。
 
1980年代后，开始作为指挥家活跃在舞台。1980-1987年担任了圣保罗室内乐团音乐总监。此外还担任过巴尔的摩交响乐团夏季音乐节音乐总监、伦敦南岸音乐节音乐总监、达拉斯交响乐团的国际夏季音乐节音乐总监及首席客座指挥。还指挥过许多北美乐团，诸如芝加哥、匹兹堡、密尔沃基、蒙特利尔等交响乐团。1998年开始受聘为加拿大国家艺术中心乐团音乐总监。此外还是美国密尔沃基交响乐团的常驻艺术家，曼哈顿音乐学校的祖克曼表演项目的主席。
 
祖克曼是布朗大学的荣誉博士，他还荣获过纽约国际中心的成就奖。1983年美国总统里根曾授予他艺术奖章。
祖克曼的演奏，有很好的控制力和分寸感，既不夸张卖弄，也不过分热情，他在小提琴高音弦上的演奏极富穿透力，而在低音弦上的演奏则充满了甜美和荡气回肠。他还有一个十分独特的演奏个性，即在演奏中常常强调突如其来的重音。
本次演出，平夏斯•祖克曼不仅会表现其作为指挥家的优秀才华，更将展现一边指挥一边拉小提琴的独到技巧。

Conductor：Pinchas Zukerman
Principal Guest Conductor （对应译文翻译中）

Pinchas Zukerman has remained a phenomenon in the world of music for four decades. His musical genius, prodigious technique and unwavering artistic standards are a marvel to audiences and critics. Devoted to the next generation of musicians, he has inspired younger artists with his magnetism and passion. His devotion to teaching has resulted in innovative programmes in London, New York, China, Israel, and Ottawa. The name Pinchas Zukerman is equally respected as violinist, violist, conductor, pedagogue, and chamber musician.

The year 2008 marked Pinchas Zukerman's 60th birthday which was celebrated with more than 100 concerts in 17 countries. The 2009-10 season also includes over 100 performances on five continents bringing him to Australia, New Zealand, China, Russia, Portugal, Greece, Italy, Germany and throughout North and South America. He spends 10 weeks teaching as Director of the Pinchas Zukerman Performance Programme at the Manhattan School of Music and Artistic Director of the National Arts Centre Summer Music Institute in Ottawa, including the Young Artist Programme, Conductors' Programme and Composers' Programme. Currently in his 11th season as Music Director of the National Arts Centre Orchestra, he has programmed an exciting season augmented by his first performances of the Magic Flute with Opera Lyra. 2009-2010 also marks Pinchas Zukerman’s first season as Principal Guest Conductor of the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra in London. Highlights of the season include tours with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra in Europe, the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra in the United States, the Gulbenkian Orchestra Lisbon and the Beijing Music Festival. Orchestral appearances in the United States include the New York Philharmonic, Chicago Symphony, St. Louis, Utah and Madison Symphonies.

The Zukerman ChamberPlayers, now in their sixth season, continue to thrive with performance tours in Australia, New Zealand and South America and engagements at the Ravinia Festival, Concertgebouw, Kennedy Center and the 92nd Street Y. The group recently released Schubert's Trout Quintet and Mozart's Piano Quartet in E flat with pianist Yefim Bronfman on Sony/BMG and has recorded quintets of Mozart, Brahms and Dvorak for Altara. Pinchas Zukerman's extensive discography contains over 100 titles and has earned 21 Grammy nominations and two awards: "Best Chamber Music Performance" in 1980 and "Best Classical Performance, Instrumental Soloist with Orchestra" in 1981.

Born in Tel Aviv in 1948, Pinchas Zukerman began studying at age eight with Ilona Feher. With the guidance of Isaac Stern and Pablo Casals and the support of the America-Israel and Helena Rubenstein Foundations, he came to America in 1962 to study with Ivan Galamian on scholarship at The Juilliard School. In 1967 he won First Prize in the 25th Leventritt Competition, setting the stage for his solo career. He has held numerous artistic positions, including Music Director of the Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra for seven years and Principal Guest Conductor of the Dallas Symphony Orchestra for two years.
