Boston Symphony Orchestra / Andris Nelsons

In the organizer's words:

The power of destiny

Founded in 1881, the Boston Symphony Orchestra is one of the most traditional orchestras in the USA (only the New York Philharmonic is older). With its long-standing chief conductor Andris Nelsons, it presents two great orchestral classics in the Elbphilharmonie, in which the orchestra can unleash its full power. Ludwig van Beethoven's Fifth Symphony opens the evening with the famous "fateful motif": "Ta-ta-ta-taaa". No other composer is able to express so much emotion in so few notes and compose such a gripping symphony from it. In the Beethoven year marking the 200th anniversary of the composer's death, Andris Nelsons conducts all of the piano concertos in several concerts - with Lang Lang as the soloist - and performs his greatest symphonies.
