Kristaps Bergs, cello

Latvian National symphony orchestra

Conductor ‒ Maxim Emelyanychev / Russia

Programme: Antonín Dvořák, Cello Concerto; Jean Sibelius, Symphony No. 5

Concert in 2 parts with intermission.

Kristaps Bergs, who has already conquered some of the world’s most prestigious stages, is admired for his skill to mesmerise the listeners, almost take them to another world; Bergs owes this ability to his painstaking approach to each piece of music, always exploring all there is to know about it. The young maestro Maxim Emelyanychev’s musical career has started in an equally brilliant manner; after charming everybody with his debut concerts, he is now known as a witty and stylish conductor who is able to keep his audience captivated from the first note to the final one. The two will meet inDvořák’s melodious and magnificent Cello Concerto and a youthful rendering of Sibelius’ Fifth Symphony, the finale of which was inspired by the composer’s encounter with a flock of regal and graceful swans in the sky.
