Highlights of this concert
- A festive occasion as the orchestra celebrates its 35th anniversary
- Large orchestra with spectacular works – thrilling moments guaranteed!
- An overture should raise the curtain musically and immediately immerse the audience in the atmosphere of the play’s setting. Rarely in the history of music has this been so perfectly achieved as with Carl Maria von Weber’s ‘Freischütz’ – moments of breathtaking suspense!
- Vadim Gluzman is one of the most exceptional violinists on the scene today, breathing new life and passion into the golden age of the 19th and 20th century violin tradition…
- Prokofiev’s 2nd violin concerto is much more lyrical, classical and popular than the first one, and it recaptures the spirit of the ballet Romeo and Juliet. This extraordinary piece, performed by one of the great violin stars of the 21st century, is not to be missed!
- Dvořák is at the peak of his art when he composes his 8th Symphony: an optimistic work, close to his folk inspirations, it exudes joy of life, cheerfulness, and exuberance – a real bundle of good vibes!
- Target audience: expats from Eastern Europe, lovers of 19th-century Romantic music and classical music fans in general are sure to find something to their liking here. It’s a concert that can’t fail to impress!
