Sächsische Staatskapelle Dresden: Robert SchumannDaniele Gatti (conductor), Frank Peter Zimmermann (violin)
This event is in the past.
At the tender age of six, Frank Peter Zimmermann wrote in his schoolbook “Ich will ein Weldgeiger [sic] werden!” – I want to become a world-famous violinist. As well as focus and self-assurance this clearly demonstrated remarkable foresight, as Zimmermann did indeed rise to become one of Germany’s most celebrated instrumental soloists.

He has consistently built up an international career, joining the Berlin Philharmonic at the age of 16 and by now performing in the world’s major concert halls as a soloist for more than three decades. His musical mastery, effortless virtuosity and profound gift for interpretation are nothing short of inspirational.
At the Isarphilharmonie, Zimmermann will perform with one of Germany’s most illustrious orchestras, the Staatskapelle Dresden, under the baton of Daniele Gatti. With Robert Schumann’s Violin Concerto – the composer’s last orchestral work – they take on a complex work with an equally complex history that has only gradually received the attention it deserves in recent decades. After the interval, they will perform Schumann’s exuberant Symphony No 3.
Programme
Robert Schumann:
- Violin Concerto in D minor
- Symphony No 3 in E-flat major, Op 97 Rheinish
