Kent Nagano - Lessons of my Live

In the organizer's words:

Lessens of my Life - What really counts

Kent Nagano in conversation with Inge Kloepfer

Is classical music losing its importance? Is it in danger of becoming the hobby of social elites? This must change, says Kent Nagano, who experienced in his childhood how music can overcome social and ethnic boundaries and make the world resound. The famous conductor and general music director talks about his encounters with classical masterpieces and great composers, his work with major orchestras and his tireless commitment to young talent. Kent Nagano is not only a fascinating artist, but also a brilliant storyteller.

The American conductor shaped the Bavarian State Opera as General Music Director from 2006 to 2013. He has lived and worked in Hamburg since 2015; his engagements have taken him around the world for decades. Together with the award-winning film and bestselling author Inge Kloepfer, he has written down the ten most important stages of his life. In conversation, he will talk about some of these formative encounters, including Leonard Bernstein, Pierre Boulez and Frank Zappa.
