Andrei Feher

Andrei Feher marks his UK conducting debut on 19 June 2019 in concert with the BBC Symphony Orchestra at the BBC’s famous Maida Vale Studios.

Feher opens the concert with the Divertimento from Stravinsky The Fairy’s Kiss. The Divertimento is a concert suite drawn from Stravinsky’s ballet, which was based on Hans Christian Anderson’s The Ice Queen. Throughout the ballet, Stravinsky paid homage to Tchaikovsky, borrowing from several of his predecessor’s songs and piano pieces. Following the Divertimento, Feher conducts Poulenc Sinfonietta, a four-movement work composed in 1947.

The performance will be recorded for future broadcast on BBC Radio 3.

Having begun an exciting 2018/19 season as Music Director of the Kitchener-Waterloo Symphony in September, Andrei Feher begins the New Year with the orchestra conducting a concert production of Bizet Carmen on 11 and 12 January 2019.

In addition to the orchestra, the performances also features over 150 students, instructors and alumni from the Wilfrid Laurier University Faculty of Music. The concerts are preceded by a free pre-concert talk at 7pm local time.

Andrei Feher travels to Japan this week to make his debut conducting the Tokyo Symphony Orchestra at Tokorozawa Civic Cultural Foundation on 8 October 2018.

Entitled ‘The Essence of Russian Music’, Feher conducts Mussorgsky Night on a Bald Mountain (arr. Rimsky-Korsakov), Tchaikovsky Violin Concerto in D major with soloist Mayuko Kamio and Shostakovich Symphony No.5 in D minor.

Andrei Feher gives his first performances as the new Music Director of the Kitchener-Waterloo Symphony Orchestra on 28 and 29 September 2018. Feher opens these concerts with Eric Champagne’s Festive Overture, followed by Rachmaninov Piano Concerto No.2 with pianist Lukas Geniušas. The concerts at Kitchener’s Center in the Square conclude with Tchaikovsky Symphony No.5.

Feher received outstanding reviews following his concerts with the Kitchener-Waterloo Symphony last season:

“He was simply a joy to watch… a monumentally talented conductor”
MGR Audio, November 2017

“Feher has something that is hard to define, an ability to connect with his players, using their skills as if they were the piano and he the pianist. He knew exactly where to soften the tones, where to build excitement and the musicians responded. The audience, dead quiet even between movements, could hear every note, every musical nuance and it was breathtaking.”

Andrei Feher joins the Kitchener-Waterloo Symphony Orchestra this month for the orchestra's season-closing concerts on 12 and 13 May 2018. Feher conducts the orchestra in a programme of Beethoven Symphony No.9 and Barbara Croall Mijidwewinan.

Recently appointed Music Director of the Kitchener-Waterloo Symphony from August 2018 onwards, Feher looks forward to a busy and exciting season ahead with a variety of programmes stretching from Rachmaninov and Tchaikovsky to Bizet and John Williams.

Intermusica is delighted to announce the signing of conductor Andrei Feher, who joins the roster for worldwide management.

At the age of 27, Feher has already earned a reputation for his musical integrity and maturity, as well his imaginative and intelligent approach to programming. In September 2018, Feher begins as Music Director of Canada’s Kitchener-Waterloo Symphony Orchestra, where he has been described by critics as “a monumentally talented conductor” (MGR Audio).

After gaining experience assisting Fabien Gabel at the Orchestre Symphonique de Quebec, Feher joined the Orchestre de Paris as Assistant Conductor to its Music Director, Paavo Järvi. While in Paris he also worked with conductors including Zubin Mehta, Valery Gergiev, Christoph von Dohnányi, Thomas Hengelbrock and Jaap van Zweden, as well as regularly conducting the orchestra in their popular Young Public concerts at the Philharmonie de Paris.

“This is a young musician of immense talent… Feher has something that is hard to define, an ability to connect with his players, using their skills as if they were the piano and he the pianist. He knew exactly where to soften the tones, where to build excitement and the musicians responded. The audience, dead quiet even between movements, could hear every note, every musical nuance and it was breathtaking.”
The Record, November 2017

“It was nourishing for the heart and the spirit to see [Feher] conduct. He seemed as a dancer who is completely inspired, strong, agile, passionate and yet completely in control.”
Le Soleil, March 2017

Andrei Feher will be managed by Bridget Emmerson and Lucy Saunders.
