In the organizer's words:

The second orchestral concert begins cheerfully: With the "Aufzugsstück" to Mozart's "Posthorn Serenade", which was dedicated to the students of Salzburg University to celebrate their graduation in 1779. The young composer was not to stay in his home town for long either. Three years later, already in Vienna, he composed the "Haffner Symphony", dedicated to a Salzburg philanthropist, which still has serenade-like characteristics. A good century and a half later, the genre was more precisely defined: Prokofiev's Symphony No. 5 was composed in the midst of the Second World War and premiered in early 1945. The composer denied that it was therefore a "patriotic-heroic" piece. Rather, his "main idea" was to convey "the triumph of the human spirit". Prokofiev considered this opus, as a synthesis of his previous work, to be one of his best works throughout his life.
