Ageless music, in a short and powerful evening. Let Shostakovich’s intriguing Symphony No.6 sweep you along. A many-layered work that blends melancholy with caustic humour. 

Programme

Grieg Pianoconcert
Sjostakovitsj Symfonie nr. 6

There’s so much to hear and experience during RO NOW, as the Residentie Orkest immerses you in the most beautiful symphonic music. Presenter Christiaan Kuyvenhoven offers stimulating examples and explanations beforehand, illustrated by the orchestra. This provides you with a unique understanding of the compositions performed subsequently, with music that surprises and touches you, and crawls under your skin. Stick around in the lobby afterwards, where live music, a refreshment on the house and a convivial atmosphere complete the evening.  

Shostakovich’s Symphony No.6 is a true masterpiece, in which a serene opening, charged and introspective, spills over into playful, almost sarcastic twists and turns. Everyone should experience at least once this exciting orchestral work that defies all expectations. This performance is preceded by Grieg’s Piano Concerto: a wonderful dialogue between piano and orchestra, suffused by romanticism and Scandinavian passion. Altogether, it’s a true treat for your weekend.
