Boian Videnoff was born in 1987 in Sofia to a family of well known musicians. He received his first musical education at the age of four by his parents Prof. Dora Bratchkova, first concertmaster of the German Radio Philharmonic, and Liubomir Videnoff, a noted baritone. After several years of violin lessons with his mother and piano training in the class of Prof. Rudolf Meister at the „University of Music and Performing Arts“ in Mannheim he began his conducting studies under the guidance of Prof. Jorma Panula. Later in 2008 he entered the conducting programme at the prestigious „Accademia Musicale Chigiana“ in Siena under M° Gianluigi Gelmetti, famous former student of Sergiu Celibache, Franco Ferrara and Hans Swarowsky.
Since his conducting debut in Germany, at the age of eighteen, Boian Videnoff has appeared as a guest conductor with several professional orchestras in concert tours throughout Europe and Asia. His outstanding musical talent is always warmly welcomed by the critics and the audiences. His teacher Prof. Panula refers to him as "very musical" and praises "his expressive hands" and "his good memory". In 2009 he founded the "Mannheimer Philharmoniker", a young professional orchestra, that serves as a platform between study and work, to provide young musicians the chance to gain orchestra experience and succeed at auditions for permanent positions. As its Artistic Director and chief conductor he regularly works with internationally acclaimed soloists as Johannes Moser, Sergei Nakariakov, Augustin Hadelich, Lily Maisky, Alexander Gilman, Stefan Tarara, Alena Baeva and others. Already after the first season, more than one-half of the approximately 90 members of the orchestra had the opportunity to benefit from their participation within this program by obtaining jobs in prominent german and european orchestras. Famous cellist Johannes Moser recognized after his collaboration with Videnoff his "great talent to inspire musicians to excel in what they are doing and be the best version of themselves". Moser was also "struck by his musical initiative and communication with his fellow musicians." The legendary conductor Gennady Rozhdestvensky was pleased by Videnoff‘s „excellent manual technique and his repertoire“. He pointed out, that „the young conductor Boian Videnoff has all necessary qualities for a very successful professional career“.
Boian Videnoff is very devoted into promoting classical music to the younger generation. His strong belief and engagement result in the project „junior Philharmoniker“, a social educative program with free lesson-concerts and instrumental music training for children from the age of six to eighteen.
