Around the Music Festival

The Staatskapelle Dresden, a resident orchestra at the Saxony State Opera, has announced a lineup of performances for the 2021/2022 season.

Shortly after the opening, a concert by Chief Conductor Christian Thielemann conducting Beethoven’s symphony Nos. 8 and 9 will be held, and they will conclude the entire cycle of Beethoven’s symphonies, which took two years.

Next, Tugan Sokhiev will pick up No. 7 “Leningrad” in December, Vladimir Jurowski will pick up No. 15 in March 2022, and Omer Meir Wellber will pick up Nos. 1 and 9 in June.
