The
String-Duo violin and viola Halaf-Langheim,
duo of a married couple was founded in 2001 in Vienna and was brought
to European attention by the conductor Christopher Hogwood. Their concerts
brought them already to Austria, Germany, England, Italy, Israel, Holland
and the United States, to the prestigious halls as there are the AUDITORIUM
DI MILANO, the CARNEGIE HALL WEILL RECITAL HALL and Radio transmissions
in RAI Radio3 and various broadcasting systems in Israel. Currently they
co-operate with the orchestras of La Scala, Filarmonica della Scala, Orchestra
Sinfonica Nazionale RAI (Italian Broadcasting Corporation) and the Symphonica
Toscanini (Lorin Maazel). Langheim was the principal viola of the Orchestra
Sinfonica di Milano G. Verdi chosen by the conductor Riccardo Chailly,
where he was presented in many radio transmissions also as soloist. Lately
he co-operated as principal viola with the BBC National Orchestra of Wales.
Halaf was for a long period the violinist of the Timna Brauer & Eli
Meiri Ensemble - a Jewish vocal music ensemble – and has toured
and performed in this context in many concert halls, TV and radio stations
throughout Europe. As soloist she gave her debut with the European Philharmonic
Orchestra in Paris. |
