Conductor, composer and violinist Martin Panteleev was born into a family of musicians in Bulgaria, where he graduated from the State Academy of Music. He has been Associate Conductor of the Philharmonie of the Nations and principal guest conductor of the CPO. He is the artistic director and founder of two festivals in Germany, in Barth and in Owingen, and holds the prestigious Bulgarian Award, the Crystal Lyre.
The Jussen brothers, winners of the first ever Concertgebouw Young Talent Award in 2011, have been praised internationally as soloists or as a duo. According to the Dutch newspaper De Volkskrant, “Under their hands, the two pianos form one flowing instrument”, while De Telegraaf writes of their seamless playing: “Two souls, one mind”. Their debut CD under contract to Deutsche Grammophon of works by Beethoven received platinum status, followed by several other successful releases.
