Anne-Sophie Mutter and the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra in Musikfest Berlin's opening night

Dan Wang, 31st August

An excellent orchestra and a rather grab-bag program officially opened the 2013 Musikfest Berlin last night. The Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra and its music director, Manfred Honeck, are currently on a European tour, and the audience at the Philharmonie rewarded their long trek with abundant applause, necessitating two encores.
