«Tram for Two» with Paavo Järvi
How does our music director Paavo Järvi get around in Zurich? In the tram, of course. In the new video series «Tram for Two» he takes guests of the Tonhalle-Orchester Zürich on a ride through the city.
Episode 5 with Kian Soltani
For the fifth episode of «Tram for Two» Paavo Järvi invited our Focus Artist Kian Soltani. Zurich is much more of a familiar city for the Austrian with Persian roots than Vienna. The cellists of the Tonhalle-Orchester Zürich have strongly influenced Kian Soltani. They agree: the orchestra's cello section is fantastic. The two quickly get to talking about the essentials in life during this tram ride: What is the difference between being alone and being lonely? What about the work-life balance? What is missing from the bucket list? And what does the Mongolian Symphony Orchestra have to do with all this?
Episode 4 with Corine Mauch
In the fourth episode of «Tram for Two», the Mayor of Zurich, Corine Mauch, accompanies our Music Director Paavo Järvi through Zurich. Both see themselves in their leadership positions serving the city and its residents. They discuss the parallels between their tasks and ask themselves whether they should swap places for a day. What does the Mayor like best about her job? Is art political? And how do Corine Mauch and Paavo Järvi deal with their power?
Episode 3 with Fazıl Say
In the third episode of Tram for Two, Paavo Järvi takes Turkish pianist, composer and focal artist Fazıl Say on a ride through the city.
Pianist or composer – which role does Fazıl Say actually identify with more? Even though he and Paavo Järvi are cosmopolitans, both are passionately committed to their home countries. This was recently demonstrated at Say's benefit concerts for the devastated earthquake regions in Turkey. And Switzerland? What compositions does he find inspiration for here and what restaurant does he never miss in Zurich?
Episode 2 with Antoine Tamestit
In the second episode of "Tram for Two" Paavo Järvi takes French violist Antoine Tamestit on a ride through the city.
How do musicians deal with alcohol? And what is the best viola joke? Our Paavo Järvi and Antoine Tamestit talk about these and other questions on their tram ride through Zurich in the second episode of our series "Tram for two".
Episode 1 with Emmanuel Pahud
Paavo Järvi takes flutist and Focus Artist Emmanuel Pahud on his first drive for «Tram for Two». The two quickly strike up a conversation and exchange views on private and professional matters: How often do they train to keep in shape for the stage? What role does nutrition play? How do relationships work out and what does a life on a constant journey basically look like? What music does Paavo Järvi listen to when he relaxes? How do they deal with the current world situation? All this and more in the first episode of «Tram for Two».
