Edo de Waart 80 years

In honor of the eightieth birthday of honorary conductor of the Radio Philharmonic Orchestra, Edo de Waart, a full evening of one of his great favorites, Johannes Brahms. Of course the generous pages of melancholy as only he could put it on paper so poignantly dominate. For example, in his last work for choir and orchestra, Gesang der Parzen ( Song of the Arranged Goddesses) on a text by Goethe about the fate of man and the world. Nänie on a text by Friedrich Schiller was intended for the memory of his late friend Anselm Feuerbach. With the radiant Second Symphony, spring announces itself.



This concert can also be followed via a webcast with images and subtitles at www.nporadio4.nl/live and is streamed on the Facebook page of AVROTROS Vrijdagconcert, among others. On 1 June it will be broadcasted on NPO2 Extra.
