Musica Viva Moscow Chamber Orchestra conducted by Matthew Halls (UK) will perform Symphony # 102 by Haydn, Symphony # 2 by Beethoven. Soloist - People's Artist of Russia Alexander Rudin (cello). One of today’s leading young conductors, Matthew Halls was named OBF Artistic Director Designate August 24, 2011 and became the Festival’s Artistic Director July 15, 2013. The word "versatile" is often applied to musicians; in the case of the British conductor Matthew Halls, it is particularly well deserved. Although he first came to prominence as a keyboard player and early music conductor, Halls, still in his thirties, is now better known for his dynamic and intelligent work with major symphony orchestras and opera companies, and for his probing and vibrant interpretations of music of all periods. Musica Viva has been directed by Alexander Rudin, professor of the Moscow Conservatoire and a world renowned musician. Musica Viva plays an enormous repertoire that includes music of widely varying genres and styles. One of the distinctive features of Musica Viva can be found in its striving to give historically informed performances of the music of different eras. The orchestra has undertaken a number of unique projects that particularly express this endeavor and these have become landmark events in the musical life of Russia. The geographical reach of Musica Viva's touring activity extends both to Russia and to countries beyond its borders, including Germany, France, The Netherlands, Italy, Spain, etc.
