Salzburg Philharmonic Orchestra New Year's Concert 2019

Date: Dec 31-Jan 1 - 7:30 pm

Venue: The Hall of the People

The Salzburg Philharmonic Orchestra gets more and more attention for its unconventional programs, cross-over projects (such as "Mozart goes Jazz" or "Maria Bill singing Edith Piaf") and for performing rarely played works such as Schmidt's "The Book With Seven Seals" or Bernstein's "Mass". Whether in their own concert series or at numerous concerts for families, students and children - the Philharmonic Orchestra aims to appeal to people of any age and get them into classical music. Alexei Kornienko is an outstanding musician whose work is characterized both by an unconditional and joyful attention to text and also a boldness in interpretation. This seeming contradiction, in fact, stands the Austrian conductor Kornienko in very good stead. His work as a pianist of the Russian school, with his extraordinarily wide Classical and Romantic repertoire, is combined profoundly with his work as a conductor, which he has steadily expanded in recent years. As an ambassador of tonal sensuality, Elena Denisova ranks as one of the finest and most charismatic violinists of her generation. Known for her great musical maturity, individual style of interpretation and supreme virtuosity, her performances have won critical acclaim from press and public alike.
