Soloists of the Berliner Philharmoniker: Noah Bendix-Balgley – Mozart · Sinigaglia

Listen to the new Berliner Philharmoniker digital series on all streaming platforms: https://lnk.to/BPhilSoloistNoah “It can be asserted without hesitation that every member of a first-class orchestra deserves to be called an ‘artist’,” Arthur Nikisch once wrote. With this credo, the chief conductor of what at that time was called the Berliner Philharmonisches Orchester played an important role in allowing the musicians to conceive of themselves as soloists — something that remains one of the unmistakable qualities of the Berliner Philharmoniker to this day. Our series aims to introduce the soloists of the Berliner Philharmoniker in selected recordings. The series commences with First Concertmaster Noah Bendix-Balgley. Born in North Carolina, he has won top prizes at the renowned Queen Elisabeth Competition in Brussels and the Long-Thibaud Competition in Paris. He served as concertmaster of the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra before joining the Berliner Philharmoniker in 2014. He regularly appears as a soloist with the orchestra, including performances of Mozart’s First Violin Concerto on a tour of the United States.
