Patricia Kopatchinskaja and the Karajan Academy

In this Karajan Academy concert, we have the opportunity to see our Artist in Residence Patricia Kopatchinskaja not only as a violinist, but also as a conductor. She opens the evening with Heinrich Ignaz Franz Biber’s Battalia, an impressive musical battle painting from the Baroque period, and ends it with Joseph Haydn’s humorous “Farewell” Symphony. In between, and under the baton of Stanley Dodds, she is the soloist in the Violin Concerto by Márton Illés, a student of Wolfgang Rihm.
