For his inaugural concert as the new Gewandhauskapellmeister, Andris Nelsons chose three pieces, each with symbolic power.
At its center is the Scottish Symphony by Felix Mendelssohn, his most prominent predecessor, which was premiered by the Gewandhausorchester Leipzig under the baton of the composer himself in 1842.
The symphony is framed by a commissioned work by the Leipzig composer Steffen Schleiermacher and Alban Bergs Violin Concerto, a key work of classical modernism.
There is no question about it: this program defines his agenda. It professes Leipzigs rich musical tradition, spanning the period from the 19th to the 20th century, and to the music of our time.
Andris Nelsons is Music Director of the Boston Symphony Orchestra and is Gewandhauskapellmeister of the Gewandhausorchester Leipzig, with the appointment commencing in February 2018.
With these positions, and in leading a pioneering alliance between two such esteemed institutions, Grammy Award-winning Nelsons is firmly underlined as one of the most renowned and innovative conductors on the international scene today.
