To round off the year, we're treating our audience to a fun and colorful puzzle: They can create their own New Year's Eve concert – and we'll play whatever they request. Until then, however, they'll be spoiled for choice, as there's a wide selection of works in different categories to vote on: 5 sparkling overtures, 10 enchanting orchestral and violin pieces each – and even 5 lively encores. The "conductor" has already been chosen: The young and versatile conductor Aurel Dawidiuk, who is also a successful pianist and organist, was recently appointed Associate Conductor of the renowned Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra.

New Year's Eve À La Carte

Summer, sun, festivals – we love this buzzing time and the magical bonding moments when hearts beat to the rhythm of music. Our first trip of the new season takes us to the heartland of bagpipes: there’s a lot happening in the Scottish capital Edinburgh in August, with its winding alleys virtually bursting at the seams as there's culture on almost every corner. Right in the centre of it all for classical music fans: the prestigious Edinburgh International Festival, founded in 1947 – and where we have a short residency this year.
