On 27 July 2026, the Vienna Symphony Orchestra under Dalia Stasevska will present a programme of works by Kaija Saariaho, Lili Boulanger and Antonín Dvořák, exploring origins, longings and identity. The concert begins with the luminous transparency and mysterious tension of Saariaho’s Ciel d’hiver. Lili Boulanger’s composition Faust et Hélène, which won her the Prix de Rome in 1913, is a musical psychogram of love, seduction and loss. The evening concludes with Dvořák’s Symphony No. 9 From the New World – a work that sounds like home from abroad and at the same time celebrates openness and cultural affinity. The concert features high-calibre singers: Emily D’Angelo, Andrew Staples and Rafael Fingerlos.
