tonhalleAIR: Tonhalle-Orchester Zürich & Zurich Youth Symphony Orchestra

At the two-day festival on the Münsterhof, the musicians of the Tonhalle-Orchester Zürich will also be joining forces with other ensembles - for example with the Zurich Youth Symphony Orchestra, with whom they have been collaborating for a long time. The JSOZ will now be conducted by Paavo Järvi for the first time.

The programme includes two of the most popular orchestral works of all time: the melodies from Grieg's "Peer Gynt" suite can be heard not only in concert halls, but also in films and commercials. And Dvořák's symphony "From the New World" was a resounding success at its premiere in New York in 1893. It was influenced by American spirituals as well as the folk music of his Bohemian homeland. He did not simply want to copy the musical themes that inspired him, said Dvořák, "I study certain melodies until I am so imbued with their characteristic features that I can form a musical picture for myself". Now this picture, with its equally rich and subtle colours, closes the festival on the Münsterhof.
