Simon Gaudenz

Aleksey Shust

Jenaer Philharmonie

For the second time, the Jena Philharmonic Orchestra, under the direction of General Music Director Simon Gaudenz, invites members of the TA/TLZ and OTZ CLUB to an exclusive listening experience in the Volkshaus Jena. The concert afternoon opens with the energetic overture to Mikhail Glinka's opera "Ruslan and Lyudmila", premiered in 1842. Soloist Aleksey Shust and the orchestra then interpret the expressive trumpet concerto by the Armenian composer Alexander Arutjunjan - a modern classic from 1950 that impresses with striking themes, virtuoso passages and the impressive dialogue between soloist and orchestra. The second half of the concert is dedicated to Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov's "Scheherazade" suite from 1888, which takes the audience into a fascinating world full of exotic sounds and fairytale stories.
