MOZART VIOLIN CONCERTO AND HAYDN SYMPHONY

The Bremen German Chamber Philharmonic Orchestra, conducted by the distinguished Estonian conductor Paavo Järvi, is often called the most outstanding chamber orchestra in the world.  It has visited Rīga several times, but now the rich experience of this brilliant ensemble will be presented by the holder of its first chair in the violin section, Florian Donderer.  He studied violin in Berlin and London and has held first chair in the violin section since 1999.  If he wasn’t a violinist, he would certainly own a bicycle store, because Donderer loves to ride his bike and always tries to do so when he appears at European musical festivals.  Nuanced and refined musicality, the desire to always be in movement, and elegant and modern interpretations – these are the characteristics of the man who has chosen for this concert Haydn’s Clock symphony, which was composed in London, and the spicily eastern Concerto for Violin and Orchestra by Mozart, which was composed in Salzburg.
