Yannick Nézet‐Séguin & Friends at Festspielhaus Baden‐Baden

About the Event

Every time Yannick Nézet‐Séguin extends an invitation to the soloists and musicians of the Chamber Orchestra of Europe, it becomes a momentous occasion to celebrate. This gathering has become a distinguished and intimate event, separate from the grand symphony concerts. As the conductor addresses the audience, there is an undeniable sense of ease and relaxation that permeates the atmosphere, compelling renowned artists, such as Joyce DiDonato, to participate eagerly. The repertoire chosen by DiDonato itself remains a mystery, but we will soon discover her choice. Nevertheless, the performance commences with Elgar's enigmatic Piano Quintet, a composition that stands apart from others. With its profound romantic expression and simultaneously subtle minimalism, it captivates the listeners in a truly unique manner.
