LARS MLEKUSCH
SEASON 2022-2023
Conducting debut at the Elbphilharmonie Hamburg

Conducting debut with the Collegium Novum Zurich
Conducting debut with the Nouvelle Ensemble Contemporain
Conducting debut at Festival Klangspuren
After exciting performances such as Wolfgang Mitterer's Phantom at the Elbphilharmonie, Feldman's opera Neither together with Juliet Fraser and the Slovak Radio Symphony Orchestra, I am very much looking forward to the next projects: Amongst them highlights such as Ligeti's Aventures and Nouvelles Aventures with the Neue Vocalsolisten Stuttgart and Ensemble PHACE at the Wiener Konzerthaus or Grisey's Vortex Temporum with the Nouvel Ensemble Contemporain as well as a super exciting concert program at the Festival Klangspuren Schwaz with Manu Delago.
Playnick LARS MLEKUSCH LM1 LM2 mouthpieces
These mouthpieces are now also available in the USA through Silverstein
In Europe they are available through Thomann Music
The Playnick Lars Mlekusch mouthpieces offer a soft and warm palette of tone colors. They produce a round and full sound across all registers and facilitate both smooth legato playing and precise articulation.
Both mouthpieces play excellently with synthetic reeds (such as Legere Signature) as well as with traditional cane reeds.
Compared to the LM1, the LM2 model is slightly more open and brighter.
