Kirill Karabits

Kirill Karabits ( Ukrainian Кирило Іванович Карабиць , German transcription Kyrylo Iwanowytsch Karabyz ) (born December 26, 1976 in Kiev , Ukrainian SSR , Soviet Union ) is a Ukrainian conductor . His father, Iwan Karabyz , was also a conductor and a composer.

Life

In his youth Karabits studied piano , musicology and composition , while at the age of 13 he became interested in conducting an orchestra. In Kiev he studied first at the Lysenko Music School and later at the National Music Academy of Ukraine Peter Tchaikovsky . In 1995 he moved to the Vienna University of Music and after five years received a diploma as Kapellmeister . He then moved to the Bach Academy in Stuttgart, where he was a student of Helmuth Rilling and Peter Gülke . He earned recognition with a scientific work in the music archive of the Berlin Singakademie with the transcription of the supposedly lost score of the St. John Passion by Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach .

During his studies at the age of 23, from 1999 to 2000, he assisted as conductor at the Budapest Festival Orchestra . He then worked as an associate member of the Orchester Philharmonique de Radio France from 2002 to 2005 as a conductor. From 2005 to 2007 he was the first guest conductor at the Orchester Philharmonique de Strasbourg .

In October 2006 he made his first guest appearance at the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra , where he had impressed with his skills with two concerts. In November 2007, the management of the BSO announced that after a unanimous vote by the orchestra members, Karabits had received the appointment of music director, initially for the years 2009 and 2010, because of the emerging vacancy. Karabits has held the title of chief conductor-designate, as far as one can speak of a title here, since 2008, when he conducted three concerts. He made his first appearance as music director during the Proms concert series with the BSO in August 2009, although he had not formally taken over the position until October 2009. He is the first Ukrainian music director on British soil. His contract was extended for four more years until 2014 in the first year of his tenure.

With the BSO he recorded CDs with compositions by Rodion Shchedrin for Naxos and compositions by Aram Chatschaturjan for the Onyx Classics label . As early as August 2011, the BSO and Karabits agreed that his contract as music director would be extended again until 2016. In April 2015, the management of the BSO extended his contract again until at least 2018. In an article in the Thüringer Allgemeine in July 2016, it became known that in parallel to his work in Bournemouth, after the expiry of the seven-year term of office with Stefan Solyoms in July 2016, Karabits would have been engaged as general music director at the German National Theater and the Staatskapelle Weimar for an initial three years . Karabits was guest conductor in Weimar twice in 2014 and 2015. In mid-2018 it was announced that Karabits would not renew his contract with the National Theater Weimar and that his engagement would end with the 2018/19 season.
