Artist

The artistic collaboration between Anton Isslhardt and Pongpat Pongpradit started in 2017 with the duo “Wind & Strings”. Both established themselves after a while as a leading duo of this musical genre in South East Asia.

They perform based on a consciousness for the past, with its forgotten music traditions in the 19th century, but also with a focus on the musical challenges of the future. Today, “Wind & Strings” are a promising and raising duo. The fragile Instrumentation requires a sensitive and artistic responsibility. The wide repertoire contains well-made transcriptions of the Renaissance and Baroque period.

Original compositions from Beethoven’s and Schubert days in Vienna lead to the musical language of Romanticism of some central and southern European masters like Johann Kaspar Mertz, Mauro Guliano, Luigi Legnani and Joaquin Rodrigo. In addition, the delightful compositions by Latin American composers from the early 20th century until the 21st century are building a strong block of their repertoire, as well as the distinguished compositions by French composers of the early 20th century. Extended and various instrumentations are also considered for future projects, as well as challenging transcriptions with special instrumentations. The friendship between Anton and Pongpat, in combination with the artistic uniqueness of these two experienced musicians support the vision, touring around the globe – providing fine chamber music to curious audiences

Since 2006 Anton Isselhardt has been the head of the Classical Music Program of the Goethe Center in Phnom Penh. He has organized various international music projects in the Southeast Asian Region. He is a lecturer at the Faculty of Music at the Royal University of Fine Arts in Phnom Penh, and is regularly performing in Europe and the SEA region.Pongpat Pogpradit is head of the classical guitar department and lecturer at the Silpakorn University in Bangkok. He is the director of the Silpakorn International Guitar Festival and member of the Thailand Guitar Society. Pongpat regularly performs on many International Guitar Festivals in South East Asia and on other international stages.
