About the Concert

Over 2500 applicants and auditions in 25 European cities - every year, the most talented young musicians from all over Europe apply for this orchestra. What the very best among them achieve under the direction of the most esteemed conductors worldwide is breathtaking. It is no wonder they speak of "dedication and enthusiasm" when talking about their passion for making music together. This time, they are our guests with Tchaikovsky's Fifth Symphony, a kind of musical psychogram of the composer that oscillates between soaring heights and deep despair. The four movements are a ride through all emotions for the audience as well... Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's Violin Concerto in G major is popular not least because he draws from it abundantly - from divine harmony to satanic rage, one can experience the entire spectrum of emotions. In this concert, it will be performed by the French violinist Renaud Capuçon. Invited by the Dresden Philharmonic Orchestra
