Cologne: Santtu conducts Beethoven and Sibelius

Programme

Santtu conducts a programme of German and Scandinavian greats on tour in Cologne.

Patricia Kopatchinskaja is the soloist in Beethoven’s lyrical Violin Concerto. Described as “unpredictable and wonderfully imaginative” (The Times), she is one of classical music’s most exciting performers to watch.

Completing the programme is Sibelius’s Second Symphony. Sibelius described the work as “a confession of the soul”; it offers warmth and emotion in equal measure, taking the listener on a heart-stopping adventure that culminates in one of the most spectacular finales ever written.
