Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra & Christian Thielemann at Kulturpalast Dresden

About the Event

The Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra, founded in 1942, is renowned for its exquisite orchestral sound. Its musical culture has garnered a loyal global following, making it a legendary institution. Under the baton of Christian Thielemann, a specialist in 19th‐century repertoire, the world‐class orchestra will grace the stage at the Kulturpalast. This concert presents an ideal opportunity to experience the brilliance of the orchestra's performance, as they unite the first symphonies by Schumann and Bruckner.

Robert Schumann composed his "Spring Symphony" within a few days, while he was happily married to Clara. This symphony captures his joy and happiness, as he entrusted his emotions to the music. The piece feels light‐footed and life‐affirming, reflecting the optimism of the composer. On the other hand, Bruckner's Symphony in C‐Minor was written during his tenure as an employee at Linz Cathedral. This work showcases elemental and occasionally overwhelming strength. The concert will feature the second version of the symphony, revised by Bruckner himself over twenty years later. With this revision, the youthful exuberance of the original piece is tempered by the wisdom and maturity of the symphonic composer.

Don't miss the chance to witness this extraordinary musical experience. The Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra, guided by Christian Thielemann, promises a mesmerizing performance that will transport listeners to the realm of classical splendor.
