Timeline
Michel Tabachnik (born November 10, 1942) is a Swiss conductor and composer with an international career.
A promoter of contemporary music, he has premiered a dozen works by Iannis Xenakis, among others.
He is also the author of essays on music and novels.
He has been honored with many commissions including "La Légende de Haïsha" for the anniversary of the Bicentenary of the French Revolution, "Le Cri de Mohim" for the 700th Year of Switzerland, and "Le Pacte des Onze" for I.R.C.A.M. Paris.
Passionate about philosophy, esotericism and spirituality, Michel Tabachnik met in 1977 Joseph Di Mambro, one of the two future leaders of the Order of the Solar Temple (OTS).
In 1981, he became the president of the Golden Way Foundation that Di Mambro had created three years earlier in Geneva.
Within the framework of the OTS, Tabachnik wrote the Archées, esoteric texts that circulated within the OTS.
In addition to leading Master Classes in Amsterdam (NOS), Lisbon (the Gulbenkian Foundation), Paris Conservatoire, Stockholm Conservatory, and others, he has also held the position of Professor of Conducting at both the Faculty of Music, University of Toronto (1984–1991), and the Royal Danish Academy of Music in Copenhagen (1993–2001).
In addition to his work as a conductor, Tabachnik is also a composer.
He was Artistic Director of l'Orchestre des Jeunes du Québec (1985–1989) and, over a twelve-year period, l'Orchestre des jeunes de la Méditerranée which he founded in 1984.
Tabachnik records for Erato and Lyrinx, with whom he has been associated since 1991.
His discography includes Beethoven, Wagner, Honegger and Iannis Xenakis.
His recording of the Schumann Piano Concerto (with Catherine Collard as soloist) was voted Best Performance of the work by the international jury at the Radio Suisse Romande.
After the 1994 mass suicide, which included the group's leaders, he announced the end of the OTS.
Between 1994 and 2006, following the mass suicides that occurred within the OTS, he was prosecuted in France for "participation in an association of criminals" on the only base of his writings.
The Swiss justice system dismissed the cases of the October 1994 tragedies in Salvan and Cheiry, Switzerland.
In 1995, he was implicated in the case of the cult the Order of the Solar Temple, from which he was acquitted by the courts.
Tabachnik was born in Geneva, where he studied piano, composition and conducting.
As a young conductor he was a protégé of Igor Markevitch, Herbert von Karajan and Pierre Boulez, acting as the latter's assistant for four years, mainly with the BBC Symphony Orchestra, London.
This led him to become closely involved with conducting and to perform many world premieres, particularly those of Iannis Xenakis.
He has held the position of Chief Conductor of the Gulbenkian Orchestra in Lisbon, the Orchestre national de Lorraine, the Ensemble InterContemporain in Paris and the Northern Netherlands Orchestra (Groningen).
His roster of orchestras includes the Berlin Philharmonic, Concertgebouw Orchestra, Amsterdam, Tokyo NHK, Orchestre de Paris and festivals such as Lucerne, Salzburg and Aix-en-Provence.
In the operatic field Tabachnik has conducted in the opera houses of Paris, Geneva, Zürich, Copenhagen, Lisbon, Rome and Montreal.
He has been a regular guest with the Canadian Opera Company in Toronto, where he led, among other works, Lohengrin, Madama Butterfly, Carmen and The Rake's Progress.
Tabachnik has worked with several youth orchestras.
In 1995, Tabachnik was named Artist of the Year by the Italian "Centro Internazionale di Arte e Cultura" in Rome.
On June 25, 2001, he was acquitted by the Grenoble criminal court.
Since September 2005, Tabachnik is chief-conductor of the Noord Nederlands Orkest (NNO).
The public prosecutor's office having appealed, he was acquitted a second time in December 2006.
The public prosecutor had considered that Tabachnik was not an important member of the OTS and that there was no proof that he had knowingly participated in the crimes the OTS committed, and that his writings were "esoteric gibberish".
From 2008 until 2015, Tabachnik was the music director and chief-conductor of the Brussels Philharmonic.
