The season’s first major symphonic event features the Staatskapelle Dresden—one of the leading orchestras in the European tradition—conducted by Daniele Gatti, its principal conductor. 
Joining him on stage is violinist Augustin Hadelich, one of the most sought-after performers on the international scene, acclaimed for his clarity of tone, technical precision, and quality of phrasing. 
The program celebrates German Romanticism: on the one hand, Beethoven’s Violin Concerto, with an Apollonian balance between soloist and orchestra in constant dialogue; on the other, Brahms’ Symphony No. 2, which introduces a change in atmosphere with a more relaxed and luminous style of composition. Here, the balance between density and lightness, between lyrical momentum and formal control, is at once a sublimation of naturalness and complexity. 
The juxtaposition of Beethoven and Brahms thus traces a coherent path within the nineteenth-century symphonic tradition, between formal rigor and expressive breadth.
