За Једнакост by Bruch, Beach, A., Elgar, Alkaen (2023/2023), Musiikinjohto Daniel Ryskin, Kolarac Concert Hall, Belgrade, Serbia

In addition to repertoire standards, in the jubilee season we also present works that are curiosities on world concert stages. Principal guest conductor Daniel Rajskin premieres the Gaelic Symphony of the American composer and pianist Amy Beach to the Belgrade audience. She lived and created in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and is recorded in the history of classical music as the first female composer to achieve a successful career, with works performed by the largest American orchestras during her lifetime. The Gaelic Symphony is the first symphonic work composed and published by an American woman, with motifs based on simple old English, Irish and Scottish melodies. Elgar's overture The Land of Dembele rounds off the program thematically, in which life in Edwardian London is vividly depicted, and Bruch's Scottish Fantasy. Soloist Aleksandra Konunova is the winner of several major awards, among which the first prizes at the Tchaikovsky and Jozef Joachim International Competition stand out , after which she performed with some of the most famous conductors and ensembles throughout Europe.
