On 2 August 2026, Eva Ollikainen and the Vienna Symphony Orchestra will transport us into Nordic and archaic soundscapes. Under the chief conductor of the Icelandic Symphony Orchestra, we will hear Pohjola’s Daughter by Jean Sibelius, a colourful piece evoking the power of nature and tragic grandeur. That composer’s Violin Concerto in D minor, played by the young Brazilian violinist Guido Sant'Anna, combines virtuosity with deep emotion. Finally, Igor Stravinsky’s Le sacre du printemps presents modernism in its most radical form – a ballet of archaic force and explosive energy that has lost none of its fascination since its scandalous premiere in 1913.
