Mozart, Brahms, Shostakovich: Tonkünstler

About the Event

The Principal Conductor of the Düsseldorf Symphony Orchestra, Andrey Boreyko, collaborates closely with outstanding orchestras in Europe and North America. His first collaboration with the Tonkünstler Orchestra is a veritably "classic" subscription programme presenting well‐known and possibly not so well‐known pieces.

Johannes Brahms’ violin concerto featuring Norwegian soloist Vilde Frang – who was awarded the 2013 Echo Klassik prize – is followed by the last symphony composed by Mozart in Salzburg, i.e. K 338. Dmitri Shostakovich’s Ninth is the last of his three "War Symphonies": the work was originally intended as a musical celebration of the Soviet Union’s victory over Nazi Germany but, in the end, it broke with the audience’s expectations.
