Concert information
Info
Seong-Jin Cho, the Berliner Philharmoniker’s Artist in Residence for the 2024/25 season, is considered a poet at the piano, but also has a penchant for black humour. This is demonstrated not least by the work he has chosen for this programme: Dmitri Shostakovich’s Concerto for Piano and Trumpet, which brilliantly parodies the piano concerto genre. Anton Bruckner’s First Symphony provides a counterpart to this with its tonal opulence, solemnity and spirituality. The concert is conducted by Estonian Paavo Järvi, who opens the evening with an overture by compatriot Veljo Tormis.
