Onze dirigent
De Bachsociety is een initiatief van de professionele koor- en orkestdirigent Alina van Randwijck-Sokolova en Alexander van Randwijck.
Alina is 1986 zowel in het hoofdvak koordirectie als in het hoofdvak orkestdirectie cum laude afgestudeerd aan het conservatorium in Moskou. Met haar jarenlange ervaring in verschillende gezelschappen brengt zij een enorme kennis en ervaring mee die borg staan voor mooie, fijne, warme en succesvolle uitvoeringen van de geprogrammeerde stukken. Alina is daarnaast een begenadigd pianist. Onlangs is zij begonnen met het studeren van cello.
Alexander is oud-advocaat met een grote passie voor muziek. Hij speelt, zoals hij dat zelf zegt ‘handig piano’ en heeft zich onlangs toegelegd op het schrijven van een eigen pianoconcert.

PROFILE
International Chef d’Orchestre, Italian passion (mother) and German precision (father) are the perfect match to lead any orchestra to a higher level. I graduated from the Tchaikovsky Conservatory of Moscow and since then I have been conducting for over 25 years in Europe. I was born in Stalinist Russia, in Volgograd (a former German colony). Having been educated by the strong ‘regime’ at State Conservatorium of P.I. Tchaikovsky in Moscow I know the price of freedom and independence and understand the energy needed to stand tall in life.
I consider music as one of the most important values of human civilization and I have always been thankful for being able to work with dedicated people who share this love for music. I love to work with people, to encourage them to get the best out of themselves, and to stimulate people to perform as a group.
Aged by experience I think that music only comes to life by way of a delicate combination between hard work, dedication and good share of fun.
AMBITION & HIGHLIGHTS
Ambition: getting people to perform at the highest possible level by dedicated work but also by creating a safe, creative, pleasant and constructive atmosphere.
Followed the International Master class for symphonic orchestra conductors at the Maestro of Maestros, Professor Jorma Panula of the Sibelius Academy, in 2008, in Konstanz, Germany.
Performance for the Her Royal Majesty Queen Beatrix in 2005, Apeldoorn, The Netherlands.
