Season opener with Klaus Mäkelä and Janine Jansen
»... this has hardly ever been heard in such a haunting and at the same time exquisite way«, says one review of Janine Jansen's recording of Sergei Prokofiev's First Violin Concerto. At the opening concert of the 2025/26 season, you can hear the Dutch violinist in this popular work. And just as she shines here as a soloist, so does the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra in Béla Bartók's Concerto for Orchestra, which is also on the programme. The conductor is the Finnish shooting star Klaus Mäkelä, who at just 29 years of age will not only be chief conductor of the Oslo Philharmonic and the Orchestre de Paris, but also of the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra from 2027. The third item on the programme is Mozart's »Paris Symphony«, with which the composer won over audiences in the French metropolis with his exuberant musical ideas and all kinds of surprise effects.
A festive start
After the main part in the Great Hall, the season opener will be celebrated further: Musicians from the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra will surprise audiences with short concerts in the Mozart and Schubert Halls. There will be Klaus Mäkelä on the cello, jazzy sounds in the foyers and other musical highlights.
The audience is also invited to enjoy food and drink: This special festival is an experience for all the senses!
