Under the direction of Bojan Videnoff, the concert opens with Elgar’s warm and elegant Serenade for Strings before moving on to Schubert’s bright and clear Symphony No. 5.
Next, we’ll experience the highlight of the evening: Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No. 1, featuring Martha Argerich, one of the great legends of our time—a pianist who, with her energy, authority, and incomparable virtuosity, has shaped the music world for decades.
