Our resident orchestra, conducted for the first time by Jakob Lehmann

‘The apotheosis of dance’, that’s how Richard Wagner described Beethoven’s Seventh Symphony. Beethoven wrote his Seventh in his search for answers to new musical questions and composition-technical challenges. It is a dazzling exploration of the orchestral palette and a masterful demonstration of rhythmic ingenuity. In his iconic Second Violin Concerto, Mendelssohn was equally as daring and experimental as Beethoven. Breaking with tradition, he has the soloist - here Chouchane Siranossian - come in from the first bar. Anima Eterna Brugge are also putting a young violinist in the foreground: Jakob Lehmann, who has already led that orchestra in Bruges in a challenging Czech programme, is stepping onto the dais for the first time. He opens his first Anima concert as conductor with the overture ‘Die schöne Melusine’, Mendelssohn's evocative musical expression of a tragic folk tale.
