Having just founded a new orchestra, Utopia, with the goal of allowing musicians to dedicate themselves to preparatory and research work while continuing to hone their musical mastery in order to achieve visionary artistic goals, conductor Teodor Currentzis is launching his own record label. Named Thêta, after the Greek letter, as a tribute to the conductor’s origins, this label will enable him to record the repertoire performed by his various ensembles, starting with Utopia, the most recent, founded in 2022. While awaiting the first releases scheduled for 2025 (Bruckner‘s 9th Symphony and Mahler‘s 3rd Symphony), the conductor is showcasing this repertoire around the world. For example, he will conduct Mahler‘s Symphony No. 5 at the Berlin Philharmonie on October 23, 2024, and at the Festspielhaus Baden-Baden on October 25.
