Vienna Philharmonic / Semyon Bychkov
Elbphilharmonie Opening Festival
It is hard to name another orchestra that has such a long tradition, is so closely connected to European music history, has worked with so many great conductors and has remained on the list of the three best orchestras in the world for so long. Performing in the opening festival of the Elbphilharmonie is the Vienna Philharmonic – a world-class orchestra of the very highest quality. The orchestra is hosted twice in the Grand Hall and conducted by two close friends and collaborators of the orchestra.
