Die Rheinische in Boppard; Sinfoniekonzert

Today, the Rheinische Philharmonie State Orchestra kicks off its fall concert season with a top-notch concert—featuring Marzena Diakun at the podium, making her debut as the new chief conductor. Marzena Diakun is known for her interpretations of French and Bohemian masters; her conducting is balanced and finely nuanced, and she knows how to draw out both expressiveness and detail from an orchestra.
The program spans an impressive arc through the Viennese Classical period:
The evening begins with a lively and theatrical burst of energy with the sparkling overture to Mozart’s *The Magic Flute*.
This is followed by Joseph Haydn’s Symphony No. 92 in G major, “Oxford”—a masterpiece of elegance, wit, and architectural clarity.
The grand finale is Ludwig van Beethoven’s Symphony No. 5 in C minor, one of the most famous works in music history—a powerful statement that balances the drama of fate with a triumphant new beginning.

A concert evening brimming with musical radiance and programmatic depth—featuring a conductor who brings a fresh perspective.
