Ivan Karizna cello 
Liza Ferschtman violin  
Residentie Orkest 
Jonathan Bloxham conductor 

The Residentie Orchestra is a fixed value at the Cello Biënnale Amsterdam. They often bring Dutch premieres or world premieres, but this time it’s a highly classical programme of indestructible classics. Haydn’s two cello concertos belong to the pinnacle of the classical era. The young cellist Sheku Kanneh-Mason, who became world famous when he performed at Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s wedding at Windsor Castle, takes on Cello Concerto No. 2. 
 
Ivan Karizna and Liza Ferschtman perform Brahms’ Double Concerto, also referred to as ‘the most beautiful cello concerto’. Johannes Brahms composed his double concerto for violin, cello, and orchestra as a peace offering for his best friend Joseph Joachim, the world-famous violinist with whom he had fallen out a while before.

Ivan Karizna

Ivan Karizna (Minsk, 1992) grew up in a musical family and started playing the cello aged 7. He received lessons from the well-known cello pedagogue Valentin Perlin. When he was 17, he moved to Paris to study with Jérôme Pernoo. He then went on to study at the Kronberg Academy with Frans Helmerson.  Ivan has won prizes at numerous international cello competitions, including the fifth prize at the Queen Elisabeth Competition in 2017, where he also won the Audience Prize. He has given performances at the Cello Biënnale already, bringing music from Belarus in 2018, as well as the cello arrangement of Shostakovich’s Viola Sonata which he performed with Amsterdam Sinfonietta in 2022.  Ivan Karizna plays a Bartolomeo Tassini cello from 1760 (ex-Tortelier).

Jonathan Bloxham

Frank van de Laar (Laren, 1965) completed his studies with Jan Wijn at the Sweelinck Conservatory in Amsterdam in 1989 with the highest possible distinction. He continued his education in Hannover with Karl-Heinz Kämmerling and in Amsterdam with Naum Grubert. In 1987, he won the 3d prize at the International Brahms Competition in Hamburg and in 1988, he won the first prize at the Postbank-Sweelinck Competition. He made his debut in the Grote Zaal of the Concertgebouw that same year, and numerous performances in The Netherlands and abroad followed in high tempo. He has given concerts in the United States, Asia, and almost all European countries, winning many prizes and distinctions. His repertoire spans from the entire Baroque era to contemporary music, with an interesting role for lesser known early and contemporary works. He is also an active chamber musician. His performances have been recorded by countless radio and television channels and he has released over twenty-five CDs. He is a professor at the conservatories in Amsterdam and Zwolle.
