Jovem Orquestra Portuguesa

PROGRAMME

Yet another new name at Young Euro Classic: the Jovem Orquestra Portuguesa is a very recent youth orchestra from Portugal making its Berlin debut. The programme reflects the young musicians’ high ambition: Mozart is a touchstone for any orchestra, and the Sinfonia Concertante is known as one of his most brilliant instrumental concertos, in which violin and viola enter into a staggering competition with one another. Another challenge is Igor Stravinsky’s former scandal piece Le Sacre du Printemps of 1913. Garish colours, intriguing rhythms, sharp dissonances – these barbaric, untamed powers of a pagan “spring sacrifice” turned into music must be experienced live in the concert hall!
