About the Concert

"The Domestic Symphony" - that's exactly what the title "Sinfonia domestica" means, and Richard Strauss delivers on it! There is a striking melody for the wife, an equally memorable one for her husband, and even their child - charmingly played by the oboe d'amore - has their own appearances. And what happens? Essentially, Strauss has composed a musical family soap opera with visits from relatives, the child's crying, arguments between the spouses, and reconciliation including a love scene. Then everyone falls asleep, and when the alarm clock rings at seven in the morning, everything leads to a cheerful family finale. On the other hand, Beethoven's Violin Concerto is a more classical piece, one of the most popular works for this instrument. With the striking timpani motif at the beginning, the delicacy of the second movement, and the hunting theme in the finale, it has become ingrained in the ears of its audience.

With his chamber music approach, he succeeds in creating a particularly clear, transparent sound even with large ensembles. Until 2020, he was at the helm of the Netherlands Philharmonic Orchestra and the Dutch National Opera for ten years. In 2026/27, he will become chief conductor of the Antwerp Symphony Orchestra.

Veronika Eberle

At the age of 16, Veronika Eberle made her glittering debut at the Salzburg Easter Festival in 2006 as the soloist in Beethoven's Violin Concerto with Simon Rattle and the Berlin Philharmonic. Her career then took off, and the violinist has since performed with major orchestras and in the world's most famous venues, most recently as Artist in Residence at the Wigmore Hall in London. In addition to her solo engagements, she can also be heard frequently as a chamber musician, both playing on the Stradivarius “Ries”.
