Beethoven 4 on Sunday morning
Since 2013, concertmaster Lisanne Soeterbroek has led the first chair violinists and by extension the entire Antwerp Symphony Orchestra from her place next to the conductor. In this Sunday morning concert however, she will shine as soloist in the moving Poème by French composer Ernest Chausson. Wagnerian colours and Debussian sensuality dissolve into one another in this particularly poignant work for violin and orchestra. After Chausson’s muted end, Beethoven will take the Hall by storm with two well-known opening salvoes of his Symphony No. 3, the signal for Beethoven expert Philippe Herreweghe to introduce the revolt, the gloom and the whirling energy of the Eroica into the Queen Elisabeth Hall.
