International Soloist Håkan Hardenberger Håkan Hardenberger was born in Malmö, Sweden in 1961. He began studying the trumpet at the age of eight with Bo Nilsson in Malmö and continued his studies both at the Paris Conservatoire, with Pierre Thibaud, and in Los Angeles with Thomas Stevens. His virtuosity was quickly recognised and today he is regarded as one of the most charismatic musicians of his generation. Håkan Hardenberger performs with the world's leading orchestras, including the Los Angeles Philharmonic, National Symphony Orchestra Washington, London Philharmonic, The Philharmonia, Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France, Orchester des Bayerische Rundfunk, Royal Stockholm Philharmonic, Helsinki Philharmonic, Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia and NHK Symphony Orchestra. Conductors he regularly collaborates with include Alan Gilbert, Daniel Harding, Neeme Järvi, Ingo Metzmacher, Esa-Pekka Salonen and John Storgårds. He is a frequent guest at the major festivals of Lucerne, Salzburg and the BBC Proms, and has given recitals in the Konzerthaus Vienna, Barbican Centre, Wigmore Hall, Tonhalle Zürich and Musikhalle Hamburg. |
Alongside performances of the trumpet classics, new compositions are central to Håkan Hardenberger's musical mission; he has pioneered works by many of today's composers including Sir Harrison Birtwistle, Hans Werner Henze, Rolf Martinsson and Arvo Pärt. HK Gruber's trumpet concerto Aerial, commissioned by and premiered at the BBC Proms in July 1999, will receive its' 40th performance by Hardenberger and the Chicago Symphony under David Zinman in Spring 2006. |
