Ludwig van Beethoven’s Symphony No. 4 is a cheerful and lighthearted work, with brilliantly developed musical fragments intertwined with subtle revolutionary elements culminating in a dazzling, joyous finale.
The Fourth and last symphony of Johannes Brahms is more sombre in character, with haunting melodies, rich orchestration and lyrical beauty throughout, from its graceful opening two notes to its powerful ending.
Born in Venezuela, raised in the US, Ilyich, son of conductor Alejandro Rivas made his professional debut at the age of 16 in front of the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra, and has subsequently made successful debuts with a number of important orchestras in Europe, Australia and America.
Ilyich has led performances with the London Philharmonic Orchestra, Swedish Radio Symphony, Royal Stockholm Philharmonic, Prague Philharmonia, Frankfurt Radio Symphony, the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic, Baltimore Symphony Orchestra, Auckland Philharmonia and the Prague Radio Symphony, amongst others. In addition, he has conducted the Verbier Festival Orchestra, the orchestras of London’s Royal College of Music and the Australian National Academy of Music in Melbourne.
Ilyich was assistant conductor with the London Philharmonic Orchestra during the 2012–2013 season and assistant conductor with the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra during the 2009–2011 seasons. As an Opera conductor, Ilyich Rivas was invited by Glyndebourne Touring Opera to conduct Le nozze di Figaro in 2012, and Humperdinck’s Hänsel und Gretel the following season.
In May 2022, he made his debut at the Philharmonie de Paris as guest conductor to conclude the 2021/2022 season of the Orchestre National d’Île-de-France and its tour of France’s Île-de-France region.
He has performed with such artists of international renown as Lang Lang, Stephen Hough, Simon Trpceski, Steven Isserlis, Elisabeth Leonskaja, and Alissa Weilerstein among others.
