About the Concert

Our Easter concert brings together masterpieces that radiate lightness, elegance, and a connection to nature. Sergei Prokofiev's "Classical Symphony" opens the evening with charm and wit. Inspired by Haydn, Prokofiev wrote a symphony that combines tradition with modernity - airy, clear, and full of surprising twists.

At the center of the concert is Mozart's Oboe Concerto in C major, a true masterpiece of classical music. François Leleux, one of the most outstanding oboists of our time, not only conducts but also brings to life the lyrical beauty and dance-like lightness of this work as a soloist.

Finally, Beethoven's "Pastoral Symphony" is perhaps the quintessential musical portrait of nature in classical music. From peaceful country life, the babbling of a brook to stormy weather with lightning and thunder, this symphony paints with musical means all possible moods in nature.

Biographies

François Leleux

Conductor and oboist François Leleux is known for his boundless energy and musical clarity. In 2025/26, he will take over the position of artistic director of the Kammerakademie Potsdam. In addition to his concerts as a conductor and oboist, he loves to play chamber music, but he is also very interested in expanding the existing repertoire for oboe, which is why he has already commissioned many works for his instrument. He holds a professorship in oboe at the University of Music and Performing Arts Munich.
