Vasily Petrenko conductor
Emmanuel Tjeknavorian violin
Wiener Symphoniker

“In terms of virtuosity, intensity, phrasing, tone colour and profound musical understanding, Emmanuel Tjeknavorian has everything” was the verdict of British critic Robert Matthew-Walker on the young violinist last year. Tjeknavorian is well on his way from successful young talent – in 2015 he won second place in the Jean Sibelius Violin Competition – to international audience favourite: in the current season he is guesting as a “rising star” (ECHO) in the major concert halls of Europe. After the concert, the popular Fridays@7 format creates a relaxed atmosphere in the Konzerthaus foyer for the young Austrian with Armenian roots.

Programme:

Milhaud: “Cinema Fantaisie Le Boeuf sure le Toit for Violin and Piano”
Rimsky-Korsakov: “Scheherazade – Symphonic Suite, Op. 35”
