On the personal invitation of Martyn Brabbins, Ondřej will attend a masterclass with the English National Opera orchestra. Elgar’s Enigma Variations are on the repertoire. This project is part of the ENO Evolve scheme for RCM students to which conducting students have not been invited before.
Update after the masterclass: Martyn’s generosity and the orchestra’s warm-heartedness and support made the whole experience a truly memorable event.
Ondřej Soukup is an exciting young conductor and winner of the third prize & special prize at the Ionel Perlea International Competition (2024). His repertoire counts 350+ works by men and women. He has conducted the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra, Czech Chamber Philharmonic, Bohuslav Martinů Philharmonic, Moldovan National Philharmonic, the Copenhagen Phil, the Danish Sinfonietta, and Symphony Orchestras of Ålborg, Århus, Helsingborg, Odense, and Sønderborg, among others.
