For his sister Fanny’s 18th birthday, the 14-year-old Felix composed a concerto for two pianos, which the siblings immediately performed at one of the Sunday concerts at the Mendelssohns’ home. The music seems to stand witness to the intimate connection between Felix and Fanny – a deep love between siblings that is evident both in playful lightness and in a special intimacy.

In this regard, the double concerto is all but tailor-made for the Dutch pianist brothers Lucas and Arthur Jussen.
In his Symphony No 4, Pyotr Tchaikovsky revealed not his love but his innermost feelings. Although serving him as a sanctuary in difficult times, his Fourth was to become one of his most popular symphonies.
With this passion-laden programme, the orchestra welcomes the exceptionally talented Santtu-Matias Rouvali back to the conductor’s podium.
