The concert at Aschaffenburg's Stadthalle has been cancelled due to a complete failure of the air conditioning system. The hr-Sinfonieorchester Frankfurt and conductor Alain Altinoglu will perform Beethoven and Mahler, including Mahler's Symphony No. 4 with soprano solo, and Beethoven's Piano Concerto No. 2 featuring pianist Seong-Jin Cho.
The Frankfurt Radio Symphony Orchestra, led by Alain Altinoglu, will conclude their season with three concerts at the Festival International de Colmar.

With its brick-red façade, a gleaming white entrance area and a magnificent red and gold auditorium, the venue for this year’s European Concert, Bari’s Teatro Petruzzelli, is an architectural jewel. Under the direction of Riccardo Muti, the Berliner Philharmoniker will present a mixed programme of Italian and German music. Rossini’s rousing William Tell Overture and the atmospheric ballet music from Verdi’s opera The Sicilian Vespers exude Italianità. Completing the programme, the dusky mixture of yearning and consolation in Brahms’ Second Symphony make the work a seminal example of late German Romanticism.
The Ninth Symphony is Gustav Mahler’s last completed work – an expressive farewell and at the same time a visionary anticipation of musical modernism. Since Mahler did not live to see the premiere of his Ninth, he could not complete his customary final revisions of the instrumental balance. “This provides a special challenge for all those who interpret this musical testament when examining the musical text,” says Kirill Petrenko. He is joined in this delicate task by the Berliner Philharmoniker.
