Ludwig van Beethoven

Violin Concerto in D major, Op. 6. Movement 1

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

Symphony No. 41 in C major, K. 551

HANS CHRISTIAN AAVIK violin, ERSO, conductor OLARI ELTS

The opening concert of ERSO’s new season will be a homage to the works of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Mozart’s last and most complex symphony, Symphony No. 41, nicknamed Jupiter, will be performed at this concert. The soloist will be the young and outstanding Estonian violinist Hans Christian Aavik, who also worked with ERSO last season. At the Christmas concert in 2022, he performed Mozart’s Violin Concerto No. 2 and this time, he will be performing an excerpt from another Viennese classic, Ludwig van Beethoven’s Violin Concerto, the first monumental work in its genre and the forerunner for later Romantic violin concertos.
