Sony Classical is happy to announce its 10th release of the Summer Night Concert. The Summer Night Concert of the Vienna Philharmonic is the world’s biggest annual classical open-air concert that takes place in the magical setting of the Schönbrunn Palace Baroque Park in Vienna (Concert date: June 16, 2022)
“This year we have chosen a European musical program that emphasizes our common European musical heritage with its diverse facets and rich musical traditions. In consultation with Maestro Nelsons, a composition by the contemporary Latvian composer Arturs Maskats will be performed for the first time, as well as a work of Mykola Lysenko, a prominent individual in the musical history of Ukraine”- Daniel Froschauer, Chairman of the Vienna Philharmonic
The program of the Summer Night Conert 2022 further includes musical favourites from Beethoven and Rossini to Smetana and Dvořák. The soloist on the evening’s program will be the French cellist Gautier Capuçon, who will perform Camille Saint-Säens’ Concerto for Violoncello No. 1, op. 33. Gautier Capuçon is a true 21st-century ambassador for the cello. In the 2021/22 season, Capuçon appears with, amongst others, the philharmonic orchestras of Vienna/Alain Altinoglu, Munich/Giedre Šlekyte and New York/Yu Long; the Concertgebouworkest/Myung-whun Chung, Cleveland Orchestra/Michael Tilson Thomas and Mariinsky/Valerie Gergiev.
The conductor of this year’s concert will be Maestro Andris Nelsons who is a Music Director of the Boston Symphony Orchestra and Gewandhauskapellmeister of the Gewandhausorchester Leipzig. These two positions, in addition to his leadership of a pioneering alliance between both institutions, have firmly established Grammy Award-winning Nelsons as one of the most renowned and innovative conductors on the international scene today.Both Andris Nelsons and soloist Gautier Capuçon will have their summer night concert premieres.
