Roman Kofman

**Roman Kofman** is a distinguished Ukrainian conductor celebrated for his dynamic interpretations of both classical staples and contemporary works. With a career spanning decades, he’s held prominent roles like Chief Conductor of the Beethoven Orchestra in Bonn, Germany, where he earned acclaim for bridging Eastern European musical traditions with Western repertoire. Known for his expressive, nuanced approach, Kofman has a knack for breathing fresh life into everything from Romantic-era masterpieces to 20th-century symphonies, earning him collaborations with top-tier orchestras and soloists across Europe.

Recent releases under his baton, like Lutosławski’s angular *Symphonies Nos. 2 & 4* and Silvestrov’s haunting *Symphony No. 6*, highlight his affinity for modern composers, while albums such as *Tchaikovsky: Opera Arias* and *Liszt: Christus* showcase his versatility with lush, dramatic storytelling. Whether leading Britten’s playful *Simple Symphony* or delving into Mahler’s emotional depths, Kofman’s recordings reflect a conductor deeply attuned to the soul of each composition—and the musicians who bring it to life.
