Europakonzert 2013 - Prague

Over Europakonzert 2013 - Prague

Every year since 1991, the Berliner Philharmoniker has given concerts in a different European city on each May 1st. These concerts have become known as 'Europakonzert'. Every guest city has its own special cultural importance. These concerts have served two purposes: to commemorate the anniversary of the orchestra's founding on May 1st, 1882, and to celebrate the common heritage of the Old World. In 1991, soon after the opening of the Eastern European countries, the first Europakonzert took place in the Czech Republic in Prague. This decision was a deliberate step and an expression of willingness to support and to bring forward the democratization and the political social changes, especially in the cultural area. In 1996 the Europakonzert took place once again in Prague (at the National Theatre). To continue this tradition the Europakonzert 2013 was celebrated at the Prague Castle at the historical Spanish Hall. Conductor: Sir Simon Rattle. Soloist: Magdalena Kozen?. Works: Ralph Vaughan Williams, Fantasia on a Theme by Thomas Tallis, Anton?n Dvor?k, Ten Biblical Songs, Opus 99. Ludwig van Beethoven, Symphony No. 6 in F Major, Op. 68.
