Tour with Philippe Jordan and Nikolaj Szeps-Znaider
The Wiener Symphoniker’s international travels in the 2018–19 season begin in late autumn with a tour of Germany and Belgium under the leadership of their Music Director, Philippe Jordan.
Debut in the Elbphilharmonie Hamburg
The journey starts with a very special debut by the orchestra: the Wiener Symphoniker will perform for the first time in Hamburg’s Elbphilharmonie, which was opened in January 2017. The programme features Johannes Brahms’ Violin Concerto with the solo part performed by this season’s Artist in Residence, Nikolaj Szeps-Znaider, and Antonín Dvořák’s Symphony No. 9 “From the New World”.
Other concerts with the same repertoire take place in Frankfurt, Stuttgart and Düsseldorf.
To conclude the tour, the orchestra visits Brussels, where a contemporary Austrian work, Kurt Schwertsik’s “Here & Now”, is added to the programme.
