Under the motto »Orchestra for Democracy«, the DSO invites the audience to two concerts that combine music and speech to make a powerful plea for human rights and the value of our democracy. Central works of classical modernism and late romanticism meet contemporary reflections and create a format that places the demands and reality of our society at the centre.

Playing violin sounds like fingernails scratching on a chalkboard. That’s how Gil Shaham’s mother reacted to his wish to learn the instrument. But he won out, and later even won a Grammy. What he says about Korngold’s magnificent violin concerto: »It takes a listener on a journey of about half an hour, and at the end, you’re transformed. You feel like you’ve read a great novel or seen a great movie.«
