Live, Video: Find classical music concert, opera, ballet and dance reviews | Suite for strings

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.

Ein Hochgenuss für Publikum und Künstler gleichermaßen war das Abonnementkonzert des Münchener Kammerorchesters, das gekonnt zeitgenössische Musik mit Mozart verband.
