Beethoven in Spring: Alexander Melnikov and the WDR Symphony Orchestra in Bonn

On Sunday, March 28, 2027, the Beethoven Hall Bonn will be transformed into a resonance space for Beethoven's early piano concertos and his nuanced Eighth Symphony. Alexander Melnikov will meet the WDR Symphony Orchestra and Marie Jacquot, who will make her debut as the new chief conductor of the orchestra in Bonn.

Two Piano Concertos, a Musical Dialogue

At the center of the morning are Beethoven's Piano Concerto No. 1 in C major, Op. 15, and Piano Concerto No. 2 in B-flat major, Op. 19. Alexander Melnikov has been intensively engaged with Beethoven's piano works for many years, combining technical clarity with historically informed sound conception. His playing promises a precise balance between virtuosic brilliance, chamber music attention, and pianistic sovereignty.

Marie Jacquot Conducts Beethoven with a New Perspective

Marie Jacquot pairs Beethoven's two early concertos with his Symphony No. 8 in F major, Op. 93. Her orchestral conducting opens an exciting arc between transparent piano sound, finely tuned orchestration, and the rhythmic energy of Beethoven's symphonic thinking. The WDR Symphony Orchestra brings its tonal precision and vast experience in the romantic and classical repertoire.

Live Atmosphere in the Beethoven Hall

The Beethoven Hall provides the perfect setting for a concert experience with great dynamic range: from the focused dialogue between soloist and orchestra to the powerful tutti of the Eighth Symphony. Acoustics, conducting, and stage performance come together for a musical morning that makes Beethoven's inventiveness directly tangible.
