We are thrilled to welcome French-Swiss conductor Joseph Bastian to the Asian Youth Orchestra. Well known as “one of the most exciting talents of the younger generation”, Mr. Bastian’s skill and experience will be a great asset to the AYO team in Hong Kong this summer, and our 2019 Asian Concert Tour which will be featuring the magical batons of both guest conductor Joseph Bastian, as well as AYO Founder Richard Pontzious.
Background:
Joseph Bastian is the former bass trombonist for the Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks. In 2016 he exploded into international public eye when he was asked by his Chief Conductor, and conducting mentor Mariss Jansons, to cover for an indisposed Robin Ticciati. Then with barely a moment to breathe Mr. Bastian swiftly, and very successfully, conducted the orchestra in three subscription concerts that included a very ambitious programme of Brahms, Berg, and Elgar. Mr. Bastian dominated the program, successfully turning his sudden debut as a conductor into a sensational artistic triumph!
Joseph Bastian began his musical journey during his childhood in France, studying the cello, trombone, and composition. As his interest in music grew, he then attended the University of Music Saar where he focused on the trombone. Afterwards he then performed as a member of the Gustav Mahler Youth Orchestra under Claudio Abbado and Pierre Boulez, and the Orchestra of the Academy of the Munich Philharmonic, before accepting his position as Principal Bass Trombonist at the Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks. Highlights of the 2017/2018 season included successful debuts with the Bremer Philharmoniker, Orchestre Philharmonique de Liège, Münchener Kammerorchester and Orchestre Philharmonique du Luxembourg, as well as three debut subscription concerts with the Düsseldorfer Symphoniker with a programme that included the world premiere of Fredrik Högberg’s Violin Concerto, to great critical acclaim.
Obviously Mr. Bastian will be quite an asset to the Asian Youth Orchestra, offering a great deal of experience and skill to our students this summer as they complete their advanced studies and travel the globe with their instruments.
