"For me, there are some favorites, for example Ravel's 'Daphnis and Chloé' in early March. I played that piece in my rehearsal concert. After that, I got the confirmation that I could start the rehearsal year. So this marks an important stage in my professional career. I am especially looking forward to the saxophone program! Of course, because of the rather unusual solo instrument, but we are also playing Shostakovich's 'Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk'. That is actually opera music, and we are performing excerpts from it as a suite. It's a real challenge for us, and I'm excited to see how it works in the concert hall."
