In October, Fedor Rudin makes his conducting debut at the Elbphilharmonie in Hamburg, leading the Ensemble of the Deutschen Stiftung Musikleben in a programme including works by W. A. Mozart, Olga Rayeva and Edison Denisov. Shortly afterwards, he records works by Mátyás Seiber with the Württembergische Philharmonie Reutlingen, a project to be released in March 2026 on the Hänssler Classic label.

Mid-month, he returns to Suntory Hall in Tokyo to conduct the Japan Virtuoso Symphony Orchestra in Gustav Mahler’s Symphony No. 5. On October 23, Rudin appears in Lille for a violin and piano recital with Boris Kusnezow featuring works by Mozart, Schubert and Denisov. In November, Rudin conducts the Webern Sinfonietta in Vienna in Fest für Strauss, a festive co-production with ORF III dedicated to Johann Strauss and his contemporaries, including Constanze Geiger and Olga Smirnitskaya, to be broadcast on November 30.

He then leads the Oradea State Philharmonic in a programme pairing Mozart’s Symphony No. 39 with Mahler’s Symphony No. 4, featuring soprano Gabriela Iștoc. The month concludes with a chamber music appearance at the Vienna Ehbar Saal, performing Dvořák’s Piano Quartet in E-flat major.

This August, Fedor Rudin appeared at the Lech Classic Festival in Austria, performing a wide range of chamber repertoire. Highlights included Sarasate’s Navarra and Gypsy Tunes with Ayana Tsuji, as well as Beethoven’s Symphony No. 5 (piano trio version), Schubert’s Notturno and the Trout Quintet, and Mozart’s and Beethoven’s piano quartets — together with Gottlieb Wallisch, Julia Turnovsky, Sebastian Bru, Anna Gruchmann, and Jasminka Stancul.

On August 17, Rudin returned to Kroměříž, Czech Republic, performing Mozart's Concertone with Dalibor Karvay and the Moravian Philharmonic Olomouc under Tomáš Netopil.

Looking ahead, he will appear at the Musik Festival Radebeul, Germany, on August 24, performing Vivaldi and Bach concertos with Albrecht Menzel, Carla Marrero, Rainer Cocron, Muriel Razavi, Annabel Hauk, David Santos Luque, and Knut Johannessen, before opening his 2025/26 season on September 9 at the Jerusalem International Chamber Music Festival, Israel, performing Brahms’s Piano Quintet alongside Alexander Melnikov, Madeleine Carruzzo, Roman Spitzer, and Astrig Siranossian.

This summer, Fedor Rudin appears at some of France’s most vibrant chamber music festivals, performing a wide-ranging repertoire alongside longtime collaborators and new musical partners.

‍

At the Flâneries Musicales de Reims (June 27–28) — a cornerstone of the French summer festival season, known for its elegant programming and historic venues — he takes part in two distinct programs.

On June 27, Rudin joins Denis Pascal (piano) and Aurélien Pascal (cello) for a trio evening featuring works by Mendelssohn, Shostakovich, and the rarely heard Trio Phantasie by Joseph Marx.

‍

On June 28, he performs Schumann’s Piano Quartet and Dohnányi’s dramatic Op. 1 Piano Quintet alongside Denis Pascal, Aurélien Pascal, Pierre Fouchenneret (violin), and Violaine Despeyroux (viola).

‍

At Festival Musiques Vivantes in Gannat (July 9) — a community-centered festival with a strong educational focus — Rudin performs Schubert’s Trout Quintet paired with Ravel’s Piano Trio, joined by Adam Laloum, Manuel Vioque-Judde, Lorraine Campet, and Stéphanie Huang.

‍

He closes this French stretch on July 11 at the Festival de Colmar, one of the country’s most prestigious classical festivals. Together with Florian Noack and Guerino Bellarosa, Rudin takes part in American Tempo — a colorful journey through works by Gershwin, Poulenc, Milhaud, Ellington, Weill, Ravel, and more.
