The Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra starts its new season with a festive inauguration dedicated to Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, illustrating the diversity and richness of his oeuvre. Dutch Violinist Simone Lamsma performs Tchaikovsky’s popular Violin Concerto, a technically extremely challenging piece. Hong Kong-born Elim Chan – one of the most exciting conductors of the younger generation – is on the rostrum. Also on the program is the Fantasy Overture Romeo and Juliet as well as an orchestral Suite from the ballet Swan Lake that takes listeners deeper into Tchaikovsky’s romantic fairy-tale world.
