Amsterdam Sinfonietta brings together 23 gifted chamber musicians for ensemble playing at the highest level. Under its artistic director Candida Thompson, the orchestra tours the world with bold programs and crossovers. The evening's motto is "Nostalgic longing for Italy". "The sun is shining in all its glory... I finally feel a magical change in me," wrote Tchaikovsky during a visit to the Italian city of Florence. "Souvenir de Florence" is a tribute to the city he adored through music that overflows with love and joy. The young pianist Bruce Liu, who won first prize at the Chopin Competition in 2021, makes his debut with Amsterdam Sinfonietta with Chopin's Second Piano Concerto and his virtuoso Polonaise brillante in versions for piano and string orchestra.

Konzerthaus Berlin

 

The Konzerthaus Berlin is a concert hall in Berlin and home of the Konzerthausorchester Berlin. Situated on the Gendarmenmarkt square in the central Mitte district of the city, it was originally built as a theater. It initially operated from 1818 to 1821 under the name of the Schauspielhaus Berlin, then as the Theater am Gendarmenmarkt and Komödie. It became a concert hall after the Second World War, and its name changed to its present one in 1994.

 

The Konzerthausorchester Berlin is the resident orchestra of the Konzerthaus Berlin. The concert hall also hosts Young Euro Classic every summer, an international festival of youth orchestras.
