Composer and Conductor Lera Auerbach Signs with Arabella Arts

The Soviet-born polymath will receive general management, primarily as a conductor

The composer, conductor, and pianist Lera Auerbach has joined the roster of Arabella Arts, where she will receive general management. Auerbach has established her reputation primarily as a pianist and composer, but now wishes to focus on conducting, and Arabella Arts will largely represent her in this capacity.

One of the most sought-after composers of our time, Auerbach has had works commissioned and performed by the New York Philharmonic, Philadelphia Orchestra, National Symphony, Oslo Philharmonic, Munich’s Bayerisches Staatsorchester, Staatskapelle Dresden, and Vienna’s ORF Radio-Symphonieorchester, among others.

She also performs frequently as a pianist and as a conductor. Recently, she appeared with Hilary Hahn at Wigmore Hall in London and at the Boulez Saal in Berlin. She also conducted Tchaikovsky’s 5th Symphony with Enescu Philharmonic in the subscription series, as well as played and conducted Mozart’s Piano Concerto K466.

Alongside music, Auerbach is also an award-winning poet and exhibited visual artist.
