Season closure in Leipzig
For his final concert of the season with the Gewandhausorchester, Andris Nelsons conducts an all-Beethoven program on June 26, with Lang Lang as the soloist of the Piano Concertos No. 3 and No. 5.
The evening will start with the overture to the ballet “Die Geschöpfe des Prometheus”, a subject matter dear to Beethoven: Prometheus, the rebellious Enlightenment figure who brings fire and reason to humankind and inspires and exhilarates these immature creatures, was a recurring theme for him.
