Conductor: Gabriel Bebeșelea

Soloist: Leticia Moreno – violin

The program offers a journey through three works that highlight heroic characters, atmospheres, and moments. The evening begins with R. Strauss’s Don Juan, inspired by the figure of the famous adventurer. The music directly conveys the energy and drive of this character, making it one of the most well-known symphonic pages dedicated to a legendary hero.

Next, K. Szymanowski’s Violin Concerto No. 2 is presented by violinist Leticia Moreno. The work has a broad and tense character, suggesting a powerful inner evolution—almost like a heroic confrontation between the instrument and the orchestra.

The concert concludes with R. Strauss’s suite Der Rosenkavalier, inspired by the chivalric universe of the opera of the same name. The music conveys an elegant and theatrical atmosphere, evoking a time of grand gestures and remarkable characters.
