Classical concerts featuring

Omer Meir Wellber

Nikolaj Szeps-Znaider plays Tchaikovsky

Three very different composers, but in Wellber’s hands, they’re all part of the same unforgettable story.When Omer Meir Wellber is conducting, there’s no such thing as a routine concert – every performance is a chance to make unexpected connections; to hear familiar pieces in new and fascinating ways. Haydn blows the roof off with one of his most explosive symphonies, and the teenage Mahler gets seriously emotional in a rarely-heard early gem. Add another artist who strikes sparks – violinist Nikolaj Szeps-Znaider – and Tchaikovsky’s hugely popular Violin Concerto will never have sounded more alive. Three very different composers, but in Wellber’s hands, they’re all part of the same unforgettable story.

Orchestre de Paris / Omer Meir Wellber

Grating death, parodied death, omnipotent death, death staved off by art: this program invites us to a veritable musical “thanatography”, in which Ullmann's score, rescued from the Nazi terror, preludes Mozart's timeless masterpiece.
