Concert in the prestigious Tonhalle Zurich with Klassifest - "Side by side Projekt"
Di., 10. März | Zürich
We will perform Tchaikovsky’s “Souvenir de Florence,” named after the city because Tchaikovsky sketched one of the main themes of the work during his visit there. We will open the evening with Edvard Grieg’s “Holberg Suite,” based on dances from the 18th century, and conclude the first half with Mozart’s Violin Concerto No. 5, often referred to as the “Turkish.”
The solo part will be performed by the 18-year-old Swiss-Latvian violinist Ilva Eigus, winner of numerous international competitions and a student of Marc Bouchkov at the Royal Conservatory of Liège, Belgium.

The first major Side-by-Side project will take place, giving children and young people the opportunity to perform together with professionals in this outstanding concert hall.
​
The project is supported by SwissMusiKids, CoroVivo, and the Empyrean Academy – an initiative by Kevin Griffiths in which he promotes young musicians in ensemble playing and conducting. Together with the orchestra, the participating children and young people will present the first movement of Mozart’s “Eine kleine Nachtmusik,” Vivaldi’s “Gloria,” and Mozart’s “Ave Verum.”
