Kojima Concert Management presents
Chen Lin to Orchetre de Picardie in France
Since joining AEAA (European Association of Artist Managers) in November 2009, Kojima Concert Management has been rapidly expanding its contact with European orchestras and artists.
One recent interesting case is of our conductor Chen Lin (former Music Director of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music Concert Orchestra; and current Professor of Beijing Central Conservatory of Music) to Orchestre de Picardie in France.
All this began in January of this year when an e-mail suddenly arrived from the General Manager of Orchestre de Picardie extending an invitation to KCM's represented artist conductor Ms. Chen Lin. Ms. Chen Lin had previously won high honours (2nd prize) at Fitelberg International Conducting Competition held in Poland, 2007.
KCM, as Ms. Chen Lin's representative, immediately entered negotiations with Orchestre de Picardie and her debut to France will soon be realized.
Concerts are as follows;
2nd October, 2010 (Saturday) 20:30 ~ RUBEMPRE

Joseph Wolfe (conductor)
*His performance at the Sapporo Symphony Orchestra's subscription concert in January 2010 won critical acclaim (the review can be seen below).
*The first CD to be released as part of his CD project!
Elgar: Symphony No. 1 with the Japan Philharmonic Orchestra.
*To be invited for the subscription concerts of the orchestras in Tokyo and Osaka in 2011.
Joseph Wolfe, a prince of the conductors in the UK, appeared in the subscription concert of the Sapporo Symphony Orchestra in January 2010 following the excellent performance with the Japan Philharmonic Orchestra and the Century Orchestra Osaka last year.
In Sapporo, he performed Berlioz: Overture 'Le corsaire' and Sibelius: Symphony No. 2', which are a specialty of his father Sir Colin Davis, and others. His outstanding leadership and musicianship enabled high-quality performance, which won the highest praise.
He is also invited as a conductor of the subscription concerts of the orchestras in Tokyo and Osaka in 2011.
His CD of Elgar: Symphony No. 1 performed at the subscription concert of the Japan Philharmonic Orchestra in March 2009 at the Suntory Hall is now in preparation toward a release.
The CD will be released only in Japan for the time being. However, it is expected to be released worldwide eventually.
What is going on in the future attracts a great deal of attention.

Douglas Boyd (conductor)
Music Director of Manchester Camerata
Principal Guest Conductor of City of London Sinfonia
Principal Guest Conductor of the Colorado Symphony Orchestra etc.
Joined in the KCM Represented Artist List (Japan & East Asia)
Douglas Boyd joined in the KCM Represented Artist List after making his very successful debut at the subscription concert of the Nagoya Philharmonic Orchestra in January 2010.
He was born in Glasgow, Scotland, in 1959. He was a founding member of the Chamber Orchestra of Europe organized by Claudio Abbado in 1981.
Since his early 20s he had been a great oboist of the chamber orchestra and attracted considerable attention worldwide.
It is widely known that he released many discs as a soloist from several labels including Deutsche Grammophon.
After resigning as Principal Oboist in 2002, he turned to a conductor. While he has several positions at the orchestras in the UK and US, he is also busy in guest-conducting the leading orchestras in Europe and America.
At the request of the Nagoya Philharmonic Orchestra, KCM invited Douglas Boyd as a guest conductor of the subscription concert of the orchestra. This led to the continuous cooperation between him and KCM in the future.
His performance is very attractive because of his distinguished skill as a conductor, which seems to be significantly influenced by Claudio Abbado, and his excellent musicianship supported by his abundant experience gained from working with Nikolaus Harnoncourt and Colin Davis.
