Founded immediately after the Second World War, the Zurich Chamber Orchestra is now one of the leading ensembles of its kind and always manages to keep itself on the foreground with sensational advertisements and salient projects. Regular invitations to international festivals, performances in the major musical centers of Europe, extended concert tours through various European countries as well as the United States and China bear witness to the Zurich Chamber Orchestra’s worldwide reputation. Besides cultivating a broad repertoire ranging from baroque to classical and from romantic to contemporary music, the Zurich Chamber Orchestra not only frequently attracts attention by rediscovering forgotten composers such as Vanhal, Leitner and Swiss composers Ringger and Schnyder, but also by collaborating with musicians from other genres such as jazz, folk music and popular entertainment. Directed by Armenian conductor Ruben Gazarian, laureate of the 1st Sir Georg Solti International Conducting Competition in Frankfurt in 2002, the orchestra will accompany one of the outstanding pianists of his generation, Sergio Daniel Tiempo. The Argentine-Venezuelan pianist has quickly risen to international prominence since making his debut at age 14 on the "Great Pianists" series at the Amsterdam Concertgebouw in 1986. His awards include the 1986 “Alex De Vries Prize” of Belgium and four first prizes at the 1980 “Ealing Music Festival” in London, where, at age eight, he was honored with a special prize as the most talented participant in the competition, and the “Davidoff 2000 Prize” in Germany. Tiempo gave many concerts with renowned pianist Martha Argerich, who is also one of his staunchest supporters. Especially hailed for his interpretations of Ravel Gaspard de la Nuit and Chopin etudes, Tiempo also performs with her sister pianist Karin Lechner and famous cellist Mischa Maisky.
