Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra / Santtu-Matias Rouvali

The Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, one of the world's most celebrated ensembles, returns to Paris for a concert at the Philharmonie de Paris. Under the baton of Finnish conductor Santtu-Matias Rouvali—a rising star in the conducting world—the orchestra performs Prokofiev's Symphony No. 5. Rouvali, who has been collaborating with the Concertgebouw Orchestra since 2020, is known for his dynamic interpretations and has earned critical acclaim for their joint performances.

Joining the orchestra is Icelandic pianist Víkingur Ólafsson, a versatile artist renowned for his recordings of Bach and Philip Glass. Ólafsson takes on Beethoven's Piano Concerto No. 5 "Emperor," a work that showcases his ability to illuminate diverse repertoires. The evening promises a compelling dialogue between Nordic talent and classical masterpieces, set in the acoustically superb Philharmonie de Paris.
