Celebrated as an “exceptional talent” (Der Tagesspiegel), violinist and conductor Emmanuel Tjeknavorian has quickly become one of the most sought after musicians of his generation. Emmanuel first came to international attention when he won the prize for the best interpretation of the Sibelius Violin Concerto as well as Second Prize at the Jean Sibelius Violin Competition in 2015. Since then, he has received invitations from world-renowned orchestras such as the Gewandhausorchester, Mahler Chamber Orchestra, Orchestra Filarmonica della Scala, London Symphony Orchestra, Tonhalle Orchestra Zürich, Deutsches Symphonie Orchester Berlin, Helsinki Philharmonic Orchestra, and National Symphony Orchestra Washington, working with conductors such as Semyon Bychkov, Riccardo Chailly, Adam Fischer, Edward Gardner, Nicholas Milton, Kristiina Poska, Michael Sanderling and John Storgårds. Emmanuel Tjeknavorian plays a 1698 violin by Antonio Stradivari, Cremona, generously loaned to him by a benefactor from the Beare’s International Violin Society in London.
