Upcoming: Waldbhne 2013 Freude schner Gtterfunken For more than 20 years EuroArts has produced the annual

l summer concert of the Berliner Philharmoniker at one of the most appealing European outdoor amphitheatres - the Waldbhne in Berlin. The Violin Concerto in E minor, which was written by Felix Mendelssohn in 1843-1844, opens the concert. With a formal structure that breaks with the conventions of the classical concerto, this masterpiece is interpreted by talented violinist Christian Tetzlaff, who gave his philharmonic debut in 1995. Following Christian Tetzlaff's performance, the Berliner Philharmoniker give a rendition of Beethovens Ninth Symphony, under the baton of their music director Sir Simon Rattle. The famous final movement, "Ode to Joy", named after Friedrich von Schiller's poem, is sung by the Rundfunkchor Berlin and the renowned soloists Camilla Tilling, Nathalie Stutzmann, Joseph Kaiser and Dimitry Ivashchenko.
