Performer: Chicago Symphony Orchestra

Riccardo Muti, Chicagos Music Director Emeritus auf Lebenszeit, präsentiert in der Alten Oper Frankfurt ein italienisches Programm, das es in sich hat.

Im Rahmen des noch andauernden Eröffnungsfestivals gastierte das Chicago Symphony Orchestra mit Tschaikowsky, der einen aus den Sitzen holt.

The Chicago Symphony Orchestra's Music Director Designate juxtaposes his Finnish countryman's music on their shared national epic, the Kalevala, with the heroic life limned in the tone poem of Richard Strauss.

This May, the world’s leading orchestras and soloists gather in Amsterdam for a grand celebration of all things Mahler – a city the composer described as his “second musical homeland”.

The longest-running outdoor festival in the US and summer home of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra will undergo extensive redevelopment over the next four years.

Presenting all nine symphonies and the song cycles over ten days in Amsterdam, the Mahler Festival features the Royal Concertgebouw, Budapest Festival, NHK Symphony, Chicago Symphony and Berlin Philharmonic Orchestras.
