Emmanuel Tjeknavorian, Conductor

Despite his young age, Emmanuel Tjeknavorian is already one of the great artists of his generation. The Austrian, born in 1995, inspires audiences and critics with his depth, his technical brilliance and his great versatility. He is simply "an exceptional talent," as the Tagesspiegel attested. Radio Klassik Stephansdom recognized Tjeknavorian's strengths as an eloquent music communicator early on; since 2017, he has been hosting his own show there, "Der Klassik-Tjek." Tjeknavorian's musical family heritage is also of note: as the son of composer and conductor Loris Tjeknavorian, Emmanuel has been making music from an early age and combines musical as well as cultural worlds in his art.

To date Tjeknavorian’s career has brought him to many of the world’s most important concert halls. As he now extends his career with complete focus on conducting, he is a guest this season of Graz Philharmonic, the Tonkünstler Orchestra, the Württembergisches Kammerorchester Heilbronn and the Bruckner Orchestra Linz, among others. Additionally, the Essen Philharmonic is dedicating an artist's portrait to him in the 2021/22 season and as "Artist in Association", he will be a frequent guest with the Württemberg Chamber Orchestra.

As the youngest "Artist in Residence" in the history of the Vienna Musikverein, Tjeknavorian created his own cycle at the tradition-rich house in the 2019/20 season. In recent seasons, he has also made his conducting debuts at the Vienna Konzerthaus with the Vienna Chamber Orchestra, the Tonkünstler Orchestra, the Camerata Salzburg, the Munich Symphony Orchestra and the Basel Symphony Orchestra. Also a «Rising Star» of the European Concert Hall Organisation, a «Great Talent» of the Vienna Konzerthaus and a protege of the Orpheum Foundation in Zürich, he has performed in Europe’s most prestigious concert halls.
