This year Rudolf Buchbinder appeared as part of the InClassica International Music Festival in Dubai, where he performed alongside the Slovak Philharmonic Orchestra to play Brahms’ Piano Concerto No 1, as well as teaching a masterclass as part of InClassica’s Middle East Classical Music Academy (MECMA) on 8th September. We caught up with Rudolf after the concert to learn more about his recent activities, approach to music and his appearance at this year’s InClassica. 

The great Russian pianist Denis Matsuev teamed up with renowned Russian conductor Alexander Sladkovsky and the Russian National Orchestra for the final concert of InClassica's impressive 30-day run. Presenting works by Sergei Rachmaninov and Pyotr Tchaikovsky, the musicians delivered a fitting send-off to the festival, with performances that left the Dubai audience in a frenzy, as they bestowed a raucous standing ovation upon the heads of the deserving artists.

Swedish violinst Daniel Lozakovich, who has already captured the attention of the classical music world at such a young age, graced the Coca-Cola Arena with his music for InClassica's penultimate concert, as the festival reaches the cusp of its ambitious stay in Dubai. Joined by the Russian National Orchestra, led by Mikhael Pletnev, Lozakovich interpreted works by Pyotr Tchaikovsky and Alexey Shor, with the orchestra also presenting music by Edvard Grieg over the course of the evening. 

The 30-day InClassica International Music Festival is drawing closer to its completion, but as yesterday's concert showed, the calibre of its roster has not dimmed in the slightest. Two legends of Russian classical music lit up the Coca-Cola Arena, with those in attendance being treated to performances by both cellist Alexander Kniazev and pianist Mikhail Pletnev. Performing works by Richard Wagner and Alexey Shor, the two musicians teamed up with the Russian National Orchestra for the evening's concert, who were led by the Armenian conductor Sergey Smbatyan.

The InClassica International Music Festival 2021 features musicians who dedicate themselves to their craft with devotion and passion, and audiences whose love of classical music carries them to the abode of spiritual pleasure far from everyday life. It is a place where astonishing young talent meets some of the world’s most established and famous musicians, and where new and remarkable careers are given a unique platform to shine — all this in dedication to music, and the shared ideals of friendship and international cooperation that reside at the heart of culture and the arts worldwide.

Acclaimed violinist Maxim Vengerov adorned the InClassica stage once more yesterday evening, delighting audiences in attendance with renditions of music by Maurice Ravel, Jules Massenet, and Composer-in-Residence Alexey Shor. Joining him were the Russian National Orchestra, who have also returned to deliver a number of additional concerts at the Coca-Cola Arena, serving under the baton of Armenian conductor Sergey Symbatyan.
