Defeat? Triumph! In 2006 he was our guest for the first time and delivered a non plus ultra interpretation of Tchaikovsky's 3rd Symphony. Unforgettable! In 2008 he came back and conducted Respighi's Fontane di Roma in a congenial manner . Impressive! Now he is coming again: Alan Buribayev, the master of the baton from Kazakhstan, former GMD in Meiningen, former head of the Het Brabants Orkest and now head of the Astana Opera in his homeland. This time he will conduct the overture to the Aeschylus opera L'Oresteia by Tchaikovsky's contemporary Sergei Taneyev and a Mozart concerto alongside the young Dutch violinist Hawijch Elders, who won 1st prize and three special prizes at the Henri Marteau International Violin Competition in 2023. Finally, Tchaikovsky's "Fifth" will be performed. Like the Beethoven symphony with the same number, it is a kind of "symphony of fate" that overwhelmingly presents the "Per Aspera Ad Astra", the dramaturgy of "Through Night to Light". Defeat? Triumph!
