Opening Concert: Aurora Orchestra

The Aurora Orchestra plays an entire symphony by memory – their impressive trademark – and Alena Baeva makes her solo debut at Beethovenfest. The opening concert combines Shostakovich's oppressive work with Beethoven's bright violin concerto with incredible intensity.
