Composer Nimrod Borenstein measures his year in premieres - six to go before the end of 2018!
Six premieres will bring first performances of Borenstein's music to five countries and four continents during the coming months
Each year seems to be busier these days for Nimrod Borenstein, the London-based composer. Already this year has seen projects with El Sistema Greece and Carnegie Hall, a US tour, a world premiere with the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra and multiple performances across Europe. And the rest of 2018 shows no sign of slowing down.
Between now and the end of the year, Borenstein will oversee six premieres of his music. The performances will range from a Kaddish for solo violin and a piano quartet in the US; to a tour of Israel with the symphonic The Big Bang and Creation Of The Universe; to a piano quintet at the Schiermonnikoog International Chamber Music Festival (in the Netherlands); to a work for the Kugoni Trio in Belgium; to a Piano Etude in Japan.
