Alasdair Beatson
Scottish pianist Alasdair Beatson is renowned as a sincere musician and intrepid programmer. He champions a wide repertoire with particular areas of interest: classical, early romantic and French music (especially Fauré), alongside the music of today’s composers. A prolific chamber musician, Alasdair’s colleagues include Steven Isserlis, Pekka Kuusisto, Viktoria Mullova, Pieter Wispelwey, the Doric, Gringolts and Meta4 string quartets, and the Nash Ensemble.
Recent recordings include works of Beethoven and Schubert for violin and fortepiano with Viktoria Mullova, and a solo piano recital Aus Wien on Pentatone. These join a discography of solo and chamber recordings on BIS, Champs Hill, Claves, Evil Penguin, Pentatone and SOMM labels. Performances during 2022/23 include regular appearances at Wigmore Hall, and at festivals including Cheltenham, Ernen, Festivalta, Lewes, O/Modernt, Resonances, Spitalfields and Yellowbarn. Alasdair is artistic director of the chamber music festival at Musikdorf Ernen in Switzerland.
Tang Tee Khoon
Described as ‘a chamber musician of the highest order’, and a ‘national treasure’, her playing as ‘truly transcendent’, Tang Tee Khoon was named one of the 40 under 40 faces to watch by Prestige Singapore and The Peak Power List 2021 Next Gen Women. She was the second-ever violinist to be awarded the loan of a J.B. Guadagnini violin c. 1750 by the National Arts Council in Singapore from 2009-2017.
Tee Khoon performs internationally as a recitalist and a chamber musician and has collaborated with musicians such as Midori, Hsin-Yun Huang, Ian Swenson, and members of the Emerson, Takács and Borromeo String Quartets. Her festival appearances include Seiji Ozawa’s International Music Academy in Switzerland and Open Chamber Music at Prussia Cove U.K..
Founder of Chamber Music and Arts Singapore, Tee Khoon plays on a Stefan-Peter Greiner violin .
Yang Shuxiang
A musical chameleon, Yang Shuxiang leads the conductorless re:Sound Chamber Orchestra while maintaining solo and chamber music activities across Asia and beyond, appearing at festivals and concert series such as the Perlman Music Program, Boston Music Institute, Macao Arts Festival and Music for Food Taiwan.
Shuxiang recently co-founded a novel string quartet concept with collaborators David Loke and Martin Peh: the Bards of Neverland - to tell impossible stories from impossible times and places through genre-bending programming, visuals, and settings - integrating into large-scale post-classical/quasi-pop productions e.g. Wondrous Fall (VR production), Northern Lights, Alex Blake Charlie and Tapestry.
Shuxiang holds a Doctor of Musical Arts degree from the New England Conservatory, where he served as teaching assistant to Donald Weilerstein.
Julianne Lee
Julianne Lee has a distinctive career as both a violinist and violist, appearing frequently as a soloist, chamber musician, and orchestral player.
A member of the violin section of the Boston Symphony Orchestra since 2006, she currently holds the position of assistant principal second violinist with the BSO and principal second violin of the Boston Pops Orchestra. Julianne Lee has also toured internationally with the Australian Chamber Orchestra, where she held the title of guest principal violist and as of September 2023, Julianne is violist of the Grammy-nominated Dover Quartet.
Throughout her career she has performed as a chamber musician at the Santa Fe Chamber Music Festival, Marlboro Music Festival, Chamber Music at the Banff Centre and Aspen Music Festival. Beginning in 2023-24, Julianne joins the faculty at Curtis as a member of the Dover Quartet, the institute’s ensemble-in-residence.
Eckart Runge
Eckart Runge has established himself as one of the most versatile cellists of his generation. After marking the characteristic profile of the internationally-acclaimed Artemis Quartet for three decades, Eckart left the quartet in 2019 for new artistic challenges - with prestigious concert series such as BASF Ludwigshafen (2022), ‘Die Glocke’ Bremen (2022-24) and Konzerthaus Berlin (from 2024) appointing him as Artist-in-Residence.
His first solo-album with the radio orchestra Berlin (RSB) released in 2020 featured the world premiere recording of Nikolai Kapustin’s jazzy cello concerto Op. 85 as well as the passionate 1st concerto by Alfred Schnittke and was awarded the prestigious ‘Prize of German Music Critics’.
In 2021, his Duo Runge & Ammon released a new album ‘Revolutionary Icons’ (Berlin Classics) exploring Beethoven in the reflection of revolutionary rock-pop-jazz icons like Jimi Hendrix, Frank Zappa and Miles Davis.
