Bernstein & Tschaikowski by Larcher, T., Bernstein, Tchaikovsky, P. I., Sâm 07 Oct. 2023, De la (2023/2023), Dirijor Yutaka Sado, Auditorium, Grafenegg, Austria

The Tonkunstler and chief conductor Yutaka Sado present three human fates and their moving musical echoes at the beginning of the new season. In “Halil” – Hebrew for flute – Leonard Bernstein erected a memorial to a young Israeli flautist who was killed in 1973 in the Yom Kippur War; Thomas Larcher's "Time" - inspired by the news of the cancer diagnosis of his pianist friend Lars Vogt, who died in 2022 - is about the perception of time. The program concludes with Pjotr ​​Ilyich Tchaikovsky's Fourth Symphony, which, with its thunderous theme of fate, leads to a rousing jubilant finale.
