Since his success at the Schleswig-Holstein Festival where he performed the Brahms Double Concerto with Anne-Sophie Mutter under Christoph Eschenbach and received the Leonard Bernstein Award, 24-year-old cellist Leonard Elschenbroich has been widely regarded as one of the most important and original German cellists of his generation. A protégé of the Anne-Sophie Mutter Foundation, he has caught the attention of today’s greatest international conductors. Subsequent invitations for orchestral debuts include Valery Gergiev for the Basel Symphony, Semyon Bychkov with the WDR Symphony and Manfred Honeck with the Swedish Radio Symphony, as well as from Dmitri Kitajenko and Fabio Luisi. A passionate chamber musician, he performed with Katia & Marielle Labéque at the Verbier Festival, Hélène Grimaud and Renaud Capuçon at the Chambery Festival and with Gidon Kremer at the Lockenhaus Festival. He has also given recitals at the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam, the Louvre in Paris, the Wigmore Hall in London, and the Alte Oper in Frankfurt. This summer Leonard will give his American debut with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra at the Ravinia Festival and will perform the complete Beethoven Sonatas with Christoph Eschenbach at the Schleswig-Holstein Festival. Other upcoming highlights include his debuts at the Musikverein in Vienna and the Birmingham Symphony Hall with the Staatskapelle Dresden, his Spanish debut with the Russian National Philharmonic, as well as further concerto debuts at the Sala São Paulo in Brazil, Kölner Philharmonie, Laieszhalle Hamburg and Konzerthaus Berlin. Leonard has made his debut recording featuring works by Alfred Schnittke and an homage composition of his own to commemorate the 10th anniversary of Schnittke’s death. Born in 1985 in Frankfurt, Leonard was invited to the Yehudi Menuhin School in London at the age of 10. He plays a cello by Matteo Goffriller “Leonard Rose”, Venice 1693, on private loan.
