Info

Spotlight on the next generation of orchestral musicians! The Bundesjugendorchester (National Youth Orchestra of Germany) brings together the country’s finest young instrumentalists – and, as a “godchild” of the Berliner Philharmoniker, is a regular and welcome guest on our stage. This time, the BJO performs Felix Mendelssohn’s wonderfully dreamy Violin Concerto, with Dutch violinist Stephen Waarts as soloist. Under the baton of Estonian conductor Anu Tali, the programme also includes vivid musical narratives: Sibelius’s mysterious tone poem Pohjola’s Daughter, Mendelssohn’s dramatic Athalia Overture, and Stravinsky’s colourful Firebird.
