Description
Concertos with orchestra
South Czech Philharmonic with wind players from La Scala!
An exceptional evening awaits you at the final of the 2025 Tibor Varga International Violin Competition! Our three finalists will each perform one of the greatest violin concertos, showcasing remarkable technical mastery and intense musical expression. They will take on challenges of extraordinary difficulty: memorizing a virtuosic work, achieving perfect interaction with the orchestra and conductor, and rising above the orchestral sound. Accompanied by the South Czech Philharmonic and the wind players from La Scala under the baton of Valentin Uryupin, they invite us to an unforgettable evening where emotion and virtuosity come together.
