Salzburg Philharmonic Orchestra New Year's Concert 2019

Date: Dec 31-Jan 1 - 7:30 pm

Venue: Great Hall of the People

The Salzburg Philharmonic Orchestra gets more and more attention for its unconventional programs, crossover projects and for performing rarely played works such as Schmidt's "The Book With Seven Seals" or Bernstein's "Mass". Whether in their own concert series or at numerous concerts for families, students and children, the Philharmonic Orchestra aims to appeal to people of any age and get them into classical music. Alexei Kornienko is an outstanding musician whose work is characterized both by an unconditional and joyful attention to text and also a boldness in interpretation. This, seeming contradiction, in fact, stands the Austrian conductor Kornienko in very good stead. His work as a pianist of the Russian school, with his extraordinarily wide classical and Romantic repertoire, is combined profoundly with his work as a conductor, which he has steadily expanded in recent years.
