We are very fortunate to welcome the Mulhouse Symphony Orchestra with its new musical director Christoph Koncz for this Prestige concert in a Dvorák and Beethoven programme.

First of all, Dvorák's Carnival Concert Overture, followed by Nora Gubisch's prodigious Biblical Songs: these are indeed rather confidential and intimate pages by the great Czech composer.

This is in contrast to Beethoven's Symphony No. 3, which will be performed in the second half of the evening - a veritable ode to freedom - and certainly one of the most powerful and luminous that the great German composer wrote.

Antonín Dvorák

Carnival, Overture, Op. 92
