Whether magical journeys to mystical places, epic battles in distant galaxies, or mysterious explorations into long-forgotten realms – with his legendary compositions, John Williams miraculously makes the visible audible. In this art, the internationally acclaimed Anne-Sophie Mutter, a friend of the composer, is in no way inferior to him: With her radiant violin sounds, she presents musical worlds that invite you to marvel and dream in John Williams' Violin Concerto No. 2, which was composed especially for her. She is supported by the renowned Royal Philharmonic Orchestra under the direction of Vasily Petrenko. The British orchestra, which repeatedly delights audiences with impressive soundtracks for video games, films, and television, is known above all for its transcendent interpretations. The perfect conditions, therefore, to bring the powerful cinematic sounds of multiple Oscar and Grammy award winner John Williams to life in all their glory in Wiesbaden's Kurpark this evening.
