The concert has been canceled - Vive la France!
With countless concerts and recordings under his belt, world-famous pianist Nikolai Lugansky is a true Chopin connoisseur. Here, he will interpret Chopin’s first piano concerto with rippling virtuosity and abundant feeling in an eagerly awaited return to Berwaldhallen. Together with Ravel’s humorous La valse and Henri Dutilleux’s rhythmic Symphony No. 2, it will be an intense and interesting presentation of French music, featuring the Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra and conductor Jukka-Pekka Saraste.
This production is part of one or more concert series.
