The power of northern melancholy, the drama that permeates the silence, and the violin leading an entire orchestra - on this evening, listeners will encounter the works of Sibelius, where emotions speak louder than words. The music of Jean Sibelius is a journey through time, landscapes, and inner states. His compositions breathe the cold of Finnish forests, are pierced by the light of the northern sun, and are infused with personal experiences. This evening at the Capella Concert Hall is dedicated to the 160th anniversary of the composer's birth and includes two key works that defined his name in the history of classical music. The Violin Concerto in D minor is a love letter to the instrument on which Sibelius himself dreamed of shining. However, having turned away from a performing career, he entrusted all the emotions, passion, and drama to the violinist, giving them the most complex part. The soloist will be Gayk Kazazyan - a musician whose mastery and subtle sense of form make his performance particularly expressive. In the second part of the concert, Symphony No. 2 will be performed - a grand canvas written during the composer's trip to Italy. The music, born from sketches, is full of inner light, struggle, hope, and triumph. At its premiere, the symphony was perceived as a symbol of national spirit, and to this day it remains one of Sibelius's most inspiring compositions. Conducting will be Alexander Chernushenko. His interpretations always strive for depth, and this evening promises to be not just a concert, but an experience in which everyone will hear something of their own.
