Julian Rachlin, 45, takes over artistic direction for the Herbstgold-Festival in Eisenstadt (Burgenland, Austria). In addition to the established program including the Haydn Philharmonie, Balkan and Roma sounds as well as jazz, Rachlin will focus in 2021 on well-known pianists, famous singers and chamber music, but also young talents.
Rachlin says: “I am particularly honored to be able to lead the artistic planning for the Herbstgold-Festival. The Esterházy Palace is one of the most important places in the history of music: From Joseph Haydn and Franz Schubert to Ludwig van Beethoven, classical music would not be what it is today without the support and promotion of the Esterházy rulers.”
