Anniversary concert

Leonid Desyatnikov celebrates his 70th birthday on October 16, 2025. Desyatnikov currently lives in Israel, where he emigrated after the Russian attack on Ukraine.
Born into a Jewish family in Kharkiv in 1955, he developed into one of the most creative composers of his generation after studying in Leningrad. Leonid Desyatnikov is a wanderer between the worlds that he connects with each other like hardly anyone else: He has been influenced by the Russian musical tradition as well as musical modernism and his Jewish origins.
The Hamburg concert was initiated by Andrey Boreyko on the occasion of the composer's 70th birthday. The concert is dedicated not only to the composer Leonid Desyatnikov, but also to all those musicians and artists around the world who have suffered and are suffering a similar fate - as a sign of tolerance and the power of music to unite peoples and nations.
He has lived in Israel since 2022.
