Florian Frannek – conductor, composer, instrumentalist, lyricist, and singer – combines all the facets needed for inspiring youth music. A former assistant to Christian Thielemann, he will conduct the final concert of an international summer course with young musicians from Asia and America. The program is dedicated to Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart with excerpts from The Marriage of Figaro and The Magic Flute , but also brings Frannek's latest work, Snow White, to Salzburg. The young ensemble will be accompanied by members of the Nova Orchestra Vienna.

It is no coincidence that the Ukrainian-Russian conductor Anna Rakitina is focusing on music by the Finn Jean Sibelius in this concert. His last symphony, written in 1924, overcomes the idea of ​​the national school, to which Sibelius was also once committed. The Seventh consists of just one movement, develops organically and combines traditional formal elements seamlessly. It is considered a masterpiece of reduction. The concert begins with a no less interesting premiere: in his overture "GerMania", the young composer Florian Frannek combines elements of new music with traditional influences and experimental sounds.

It’s no coincidence that the focus of Ukrainian-Russian conductor Anna Rakitina at this concert is the work of Jean Sibelius. Completed in 1924, his final symphony transcends the notion of a purely »national« music, an ideal to which the Finnish composer was once committed. Instead, the Seventh consists of a single movement that develops organically while seamlessly integrating various traditional formal elements. This is a true masterpiece of concision. The concert opens with an equally thrilling world premiere, namely the overture »GerMania«, in which the young composer Florian Frannek combines contemporary techniques with traditional influences and experimental sounds.
