Rehearsals with members of the Berliner Philharmoniker will take place in Salzburg from March 29, with the final concert on April 2, 2026 at the Großes Festspielhaus under the direction of Tugan Sokhiev. The program includes Antonín Dvořák’s 8th Symphony and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s Sinfonia concertante for four wind instruments and orchestra with members of the Berliner Philharmoniker in the solo parts.
