Artists
| Conductor, Violoncello da Spalla: | Ivan Fischer One of the great musical polymaths of our era, the Hungarian conductor Iván Fischer founded the Budapest Festival Orchestra in the mid‐1980s. His work as the orchestra's Musical Director and chief conductor over the decades has established it as one of the world's premiere symphonic ensembles. A regular and much‐loved guest conductor with many of the leading European and American orchestras, Fischer is conductor laureate of Berlin's Konzerthausorchester and honorary guest conductor of the Concertgebouw Orchestra in Amsterdam. An active composer, his works have attracted international attention, as has the successful launch of his opera company, IFOC, which seeks to create an organic unity between music and theatre, with stagings that frequently spatially link singers and instrumentalists. |

Konzerthaus Berlin
The Konzerthaus Berlin is a concert hall situated on the Gendarmenmarkt, the most beautiful square in the city. Built in 1821, the structure initially served as a theater. Severely damaged in the Second World War, it was rebuilt as a concert hall in 1977, with a neoclassical interior, and changed its name to reflect its new function in 1994. Consistently numbered among the top five concert halls in the world, the Konzerthaus hosts around 500 performances every year, ranging from symphony and chamber concerts featuring international stars to new music and children's concerts.

This concert was exceptional! It's always a treat to attend an event in the Berln Koncerthaus, because the building is so beautiful, but this one was extra special because of the two very young women who were featured as conductor and violin soloist.
