Conductor Yakov Kreizberg passes away
Posted: Tue Mar 15, 2011 3:24 pm
Some of you may know him as he conducted often in the US. He was very sick but worked very hard to stay positive and productive through his sickness. I do not know of contact details for those interested, possibly through his website:

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
15 March 2011, London
Yakov Kreizberg
It is with deep sorrow that we must announce the passing of conductor Yakov Kreizberg
on 15 March 2011. He died peacefully after a long illness – borne with great courage,
fortitude and determination – at his home in Monte Carlo, surrounded by his wife and two
sons. He was aged only 51.
Yakov Kreizberg was one of the most interesting and exciting conductors of his
generation. He was widely sought-after by the world's leading orchestras, and held posts
with the Theater Krefeld Mönchengladbach, Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra, the
Komische Oper in Berlin and the Wiener Symphoniker.
At the time of his death he was the Chief Conductor and Artistic Advisor of the
Netherlands Philharmonic and Netherlands Chamber Orchestras. He led them on many
highly successful tours and leaves behind a number of great recordings.
He conducted his very last concert with the Netherlands Philharmonic Orchestra on 14
February 2011 at the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam. The programme consisted of
Glinka’s Overture to Russlan and Ludmilla, Prokofiev’s Violin Concerto No.2 with soloist
Alexander Sitkovetsky, and Rimsky-Korsakov’s Scheherazade.
Yakov Kreizberg was appointed Artistic Director of L'Orchestre Philharmonique de Monte
Carlo in January 2008, and subsequently Artistic Director and Music Director in September
2009. Although his time with them was cut short, his relationship with this orchestra was
one of the happiest and most rewarding of his career.
Yakov Kreizberg was one of the kindest, thoughtful and considerate artists I knew and it
was a great privilege to work for him. He leaves behind a tremendous gap in the music
world and we send our sincere condolences to his family.
