Conrad van Alphen is artistic director and chief conductor of Sinfonia Rotterdam. In the past 15 years, he has moulded it into an internationally acclaimed orchestra, which hosts a concert series in the de Doelen in Rotterdam, the Nieuwe Kerk in The Hague and in the Royal Concertgebouw in Amsterdam. Recently international tours include Russia, Mexico , Brazil, Colombia and Chile. He is also a frequent guest conductor in Russia, Germany, Holland and South Africa. The Dutch/South African conductor has gained tremendous popularity with orchestras and the audiences alike for the unorthodox manner in which he rehearses and performs
Alexander Ramm made his debut as a soloist at the age of nine with the Kaliningrad Chamber Orchestra, and has since then established himself as a brilliant cellist, not only with Russia’s leading orchestra, but across the world. Born in 1988, he belongs to the new generation of cellists recognised for his appealing artistic creativity and the unprecedented technical skills. He has won several international prizes in Moscow, the US and China, as well as the UNISA International Strings Competition in 2010. Since 2012, he has been a post-graduate student at the Hanns-Eisler Hochschule fur Musik in Berlin.
