1st symphony concert

We start the 20/21 concert season with this year's great jubilant: Beethoven's Coriolan Overture opened the drama of the same name and is a musical characterization of the tragic title hero, whose essence is described by the various characters of the music. Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy's Violin Concerto is certainly one of the most popular solo concertos of Romantic literature and certainly owes its popularity not least to the variety of expression and the great virtuosity it demands of the solo instrument. The young violinist Bomsori Kim, prizewinner of the ARD music competition, will perform here with the Philharmonic Orchestra. Ludwig van Beethoven's 7th Symphony has become one of the composer's most famous works because of its melodic power and its at times almost dance-like character, and it prompted none other than Richard Wagner to speak of an apotheosis of dance.
