In a few words:
Three musical giants during the same evening! The program begins with Leonore I, magnificent hymn to freedom. If Mozart’s Violin Concerto No. 5 is a young piece, its melodic abundance and dramatism already herald musical romanticism. This masterpiece will be performed by the brilliant Czech musician Josef Špaček. Conductor Jan Willem de Vriend continues the enchantment with Schubert’s Symphony No. 9, "The Great". Majestic, this is a symphony that deserves its name!
