Adrian Eröd
The young Austrian Baritone Adrian Eröd is already a great favorite of public and press at his base, the Vienna State Opera, with his tremendous diversity, whether as Figaro in Rossini’s Barber of Seville, as Valentin in Gounod’s Faust, as Billy Budd or as Lescaut in Massenet’s Manon.

His magnificent success with Christian Thielemann as Sixtus Beckmesser in Wagner’s Meistersinger von Nürnberg led to an invitation to sing the role at the Bayreuther Festspielen. Since that time he sang the role of Beckmesser also at the Easter Festival in Salzburg, in Dresden, Zurich, Cologne, Leipzig, Tokyo and Amsterdam.

His performance of Loge in the Vienna State Opera production of Wagner’s Das Rheingold had attracted international attention, his creation of the role of Shylock in the World Premiere of André Tchaikovsky’s “The Merchant of Venice” at the Bregenz Festival was highly acclaimed, and in 2014 he debuted at the Salzburg Festival as Faninal in Harry Kupfer’s production of Strauss’ Rosenkavalier.

Since his debut 2001 at the Vienna State Opera as Mercutio in Gounod’s Roméo et Juliette, Adrian Eröd has been cast in such roles as Guglielmo, Conte Almaviva, Eisenstein, Frank/Fritz (Die tote Stadt), Albert (Werther) and Olivier (Capriccio). The leading male role of Jason in Aribert Reimann’s Medea was written for him and he performed the world premiere and recently he was Propero in the Austrian Première of Adès’ The Tempest.

He has also appeared at the Semperoper in Dresden (Olivier, Faninal, Ottokar), the Scala di Milano (Faninal), the Teatro Real in Madrid (Don Giovanni), the Teatro Fenice in Venice (Harlekin), at the Berlin State Opera (Faninal), the Hamburg State Opera (Pelléas), at the Oper Frankfurt (Prospero), the Tokyo National Opera (Don Giovanni, Guglielmo, Eisenstein, Albert), the Paris Opera (Olivier), the Houston Grand Opera (Don Giovanni) and the Chicago Lyric Opera (Dr.Falke).

Following his education at the Universität für Musik und Darstellende Kunst Vienna, where he was a student of Walter Berry, Adrian Eröd was engaged at the Landestheater Linz, then Wiener Volksoper and finally the Vienna State Opera, which, alongside his forthcoming international engagements, will continue to be a central base in his artistic future. In the coming years he will be appearing at the New National Opera in Tokyo (Beckmesser) among others.

Parallel to his opera career, Adrian Eröd is also extremely successful on the concert stage. He has appeared sang under Riccardo Muti and Nikolaus Harnoncourt with the Vienna Philharmonic, with Sir Simon Rattle and Christian Thielemann at the Berlin Philharmonic, with Fabio Luisi and Rafel Frühbeck de Burgos in Orff’s Carmina Burana, with Helmut Rilling in Bach’s Magnificat and Brahms’ Requiem, he performed Bach’s Johannespassion with Philippe Jordan, Fauré’s Requiem under Myung-Whun Chung with the Staatskapelle Dresden and Mendelssohn’s Elijah under Marek Janowski in Berlin.

He has also appeared at the Suntory Hall Tokyo, the Concertgebouw Amsterdam, the Vienna Musikverein and Konzerthaus, the Lucerne Festival, the Salzburg Easter Festival and Mozart Woche, the Styriarte Graz and the Beethoven Festival in Bonn. He has worked with Maximilian Schell, Klaus Maria Brandauer, Uri Caine, Andris Nelsons, Ingo Metzmacher, Thomas Hengelbrock, Marcello Viotti and the ensemble Modern.

He is particularly fond of Lied, and has given recitals in the Vienna Musikverein, the Linzer Brucknerhaus, the Lisztzentrum Raiding, the Tokyo Spring Festival and the Carinthian Summer. He recorded CDs with Songs by Franz Liszt and Schubert’s Winterreise for the Label Gramola.

Benjamin Beilman
Born in 1989, American violinist Benjamin Beilman is winning plaudits across the globe for his compelling and impassioned performances, his deep rich tone and searing lyricism. The Scotsman has described him as “a remarkable talent, delivering playing of rare insight and generosity, as captivating as it is gloriously entertaining” and the New York Times has praised his “handsome technique, burnished sound, and quiet confidence [which] showed why he has come so far so fast”.

During the Beethoven celebrations in 2020, Beilman will perform the Beethoven Concerto with the Budapest Festival Orchestra conducted by Janowski, the Wroclaw Philharmonic and their Music Director Guerrero on tour across Poland, the Orchestra Metropolitain (Montreal) with Han-Na Chang and with the Orchestre National du Capitole de Toulouse in Sokhiev’s closing concert as Musical Director. Other highlights in 19/20 include debuts with the Danish National Symphony, Gürzenich (Cologne), Tonkünstler (Vienna), Antwerp Symphony orchestras, in the US with the Utah Symphony and Minnesota orchestras, and his return to the London Chamber Orchestra to play/direct.

In past seasons, Beilman has performed with many major orchestras worldwide including the Rotterdam Philharmonic, London Philharmonic, Frankfurt Radio Symphony, Zurich Tonhalle, Sydney Symphony, San Francisco Symphony, Houston Symphony and Philadelphia Orchestra both at home and at Carnegie Hall. In recital and chamber music, Beilman performs regularly at the major halls across the world, including Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, Wigmore Hall, Louvre (Paris), Philharmonie (Berlin), Concertgebouw (Amsterdam), Bunka Kaikan (Tokyo) and at festivals he has performed at eg Verbier, Aix-en-Provence Easter, Prague Dvorak, Robeco Summer Concerts (Amsterdam), Music@Menlo, Marlboro and Seattle Chamber Music amongst others. In early 2018 he premiered a new work dedicated to the political activist Angela Davis written by Frederic Rzewski and commissioned by Music Accord which he has performed extensively across the US.

Beilman studied with Almita and Roland Vamos at the Music Institute of Chicago, Ida Kavafian and Pamela Frank at the Curtis Institute of Music, and Christian Tetzlaff at the Kronberg Academy, and has received many prestigious accolades including a Borletti-Buitoni Trust Fellowship, an Avery Fisher Career Grant and a London Music Masters Award. He has an exclusive recording contract with Warner Classics and released his first disc ‘Spectrum’ for the label in 2016, featuring works by Stravinsky, Janáček and Schubert. Beilman plays the “Engleman” Stradivarius from 1709 generously on loan from the Nippon Music Foundation.
