Brussels Philharmonic / Sophie Pacini / Ilan Volkov

In the organizer's words:

The Brussels Philharmonic, rich in tradition, was founded in 1935 and is one of the great top orchestras in Europe. As a former radio orchestra, it is dedicated to recording important film music, among other things, and is known worldwide for this. These recordings have been honored with prestigious awards such as the Golden Globe Award, Oscar and César. The orchestra is now making its debut at the Elbphilharmonie for its 90th anniversary.

The solo highlight of the evening is the German-Italian pianist Sophie Pacini, who is one of the most outstanding up-and-coming artists of our time. Awarded the ECHO Klassik prize in 2015, she has already performed with renowned orchestras such as the Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra, the Camerata Salzburg, the Dresden Philharmonic Orchestra, the Tonhalle Orchestra Zurich and the Tokyo Philharmonic Orchestra. She has a special chamber music relationship with star pianist Martha Argerich. For her Elbphilharmonie debut in the Great Hall, Sophie Pacini now presents Robert Schumann's popular piano concerto.

The impressive 4th Symphony by Piotr I. Tchaikovsky will also be performed under the direction of Ilan Volkov. Ilan Volkov was already Assistant Conductor of the renowned Boston Symphony Orchestra at the age of 19. After this impressive start to his career, he became Principal Conductor and later Principal Guest Conductor of the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra and Principal Guest Conductor of the Brussels Philharmonic. Ilan Volkov has appeared at major festivals such as the Salzburg Festival and BBC Proms. He is also in demand internationally as an opera conductor and has conducted opera productions at San Francisco Opera, Zurich Opera House and the Elbphilharmonie, where he is now returning.
