The Finnish conductor Hannu Lintu makes his debut with the Berliner Philharmoniker as musical ambassador of his home country.


As such, the chief conductor of the Finnish National Opera presents Kaija Saariaho’s ethereal Ciel d’hiver and Jean Sibelius’ Seventh Symphony: a formally innovative work whose harsh, Nordic tone is reminiscent of the vastness of the Finnish landscapes.

The concert opens with Olivier Messiaen’s orchestral lament Le Tombeau resplendissant and Igor Stravinsky’s highly virtuosic Violin Concerto which plays with Baroque forms, with Vilde Frang as the soloist.
