Daniel Harding will take his place, and this will be his second time conducting the “European Concert” after the Musée d’Orsay in Paris in 2019.

The program remains unchanged, with Beethoven’s Symphony No. 5 and Brahms’ Violin Concerto. The soloist will be Lisa Batiashvili, a world-renowned violinist from Georgia who is also the orchestra’s “Artist in Residence” for the 2023/2024 season.

The Berlin Philharmonic’s “European Concert” was founded in 1991 as an idea of ​​Claudio Abbado, who succeeded Herbert von Karajan as chief conductor and artistic director. It has been held every year on May 1st, the anniversary of the orchestra’s founding, in halls and historical buildings across Europe.
