“Everlasting Violin”

Carl Maria von Weber Overture to opera Oberon
Johannes Brahms Violin Concerto in D major, op. 77
  Symphony No. 1 in C minor, op. 68

Precision, cool-headed baton technique and passionate music-making are hallmarks of Hungarian conductor Andras Ligeti. He has conducted numerous major orchestras worldwide and is currently the Music Director of the Taipei Symphony Orchestra. Marco Rizzi, one of today’s most promising musicians, is noted for his unique interpretations and “unmistakable musical intuition”. He has been dubbed by The Strad as “first-rate violinist”. On Claudio Abbado’s recommendation, Rizzi received the Europäischen Musikförderperis. The collaboration of such prestigious musicians promises to make this one of the most dramatic programmes of the year.
