 Persimfans was a conductorless orchestra in the Soviet Union in the 1920s. By arranging the musicians in a circle, a completely innovative practice of performance, giving every musician the same responsibility as in a chamber ensemble, was established. The name Persimfans was a contraction of "Perwy Simfonitscheski Ansambl" (Russian for: First Symphonic Ensemble). In 2008, Persimfans was revived in Moscow by the initiative of Peter Aidu, together with like-minded musicians from the Russian capital. The founders of the new Persimfans were not guided by the fundamental rejection of the idea of a conductor. Rather, they were searching for an alternative to the hierarchical approach to interpretation. This lead to a concept of the orchestra where each and every musician, in addition to the normally required virtuosity, is expected to have a deep knowledge of the score that in a traditional orchestra is only required from the director. The benefit of this demanding concept is obvious: The precision, musical freshness and energy of Persimfans surpass by far what established orchestras normally achieve. Reconnecting with the principles of the first Persimfans orchestra, the ensemble of today gathers some of the best musicians from Russian leading orchestras, soloists and members of Russia’s most important ensembles. In Moscow, Persimfans and Düsseldorf Symphony Orchestra perform Symphonic Dances by Sergei Rachmaninoff.
