OPENING CONCERT OF 50. SEASON

Program

Ludwig van Beethoven
Violin Concerto in D, Op. 61

Ludwig van Beethoven
Symphony No. 1 in C, Op. 21

The opening concert of the jubilee 50th season of the Slovak Sinfonietta with its new Chief-Conductor František Macek will be entirely dedicated to the works of Ludwig van Beethoven, the supreme representative of Viennese classicism, whose works have formed an important part of the orchestra dramaturgy over the 50 years of its existence. The soloist in Beethoven’s great violin concerto will be Juraj Čižmarovič – one of the most outstanding Slovak soloists – concertmaster of the WDR Radio Orchestra in Cologne, who has a long and fruitful collaboration with the Slovak Sinfonietta.
