24 April — Mozart and Schumann symphonies
Arvid Engeg?rd conducts symphonies by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Robert Schumann that each in their own way renewed the symphonic genre and imparted deeper, darker undertones: Mozart’s Symphony No. 40 and Schumann’s Symphony No. 4. Between the symphonies, Arne Nordheim’s contemplative memorial Nachruf for strykere will be performed.
