Ukrainian-born Mark Kadin has proven himself as a musical leader with deep knowledge and a fresh, progressive outlook. Precision, passion of the explorer and artistic insight are the foundation of his work and have led to longstanding relationships around the world. With an enormous repertoire embracing classical, romantic, and contemporary music, he has conducted in places such as the Kölner Philharmonie, Bolshoi Theatre, Rudolfinum Prague, Seoul Arts Center, Tonhalle Düsseldorf, Munich Herkulessaal and Bellas Artes Opera.
Kadin offered a dense, collected performance, with natural musical movement, with a relief comparison of episodes, with constructive nuanced ideas, successfully fixing individual timbre sections in the picture. He easily highlighted dramatic phases with the effect of dynamic amplitudes, maintaining an expressive general legato in the phrasing, and in the finale, he achieved an ambiguous vitality, completing the anxious loneliness and melancholic character of the work. A well thought out and realized interpretation!

“He likes to do this type of conceptual, thematic, genre-summarizing concerts, with the aim of intriguing the audience and the orchestra in different ways.”

“It sounded somewhat confessional in the conductor's reading - like a personal revelation, a personal pain, but he maintained a good distance, with a sufficiently restrained emotional discipline which produced an even more engaging awareness.”

“The conductor gave the musicians a lot of freedom. His baton inspired rather than organized and disciplined the players. It produced excellent results in purely orchestral works.”
