200 Years Without Beethoven

Under the baton of Sergey Ostrovsky, this orchestral programme juxtaposes drama and virtuosity through Beethoven’s Coriolan Overture, his Violin Concerto, and the iconic Fifth Symphony. The repertoire moves from intimate lyricism to thunderous motor rhythms, offering a concentrated, symphonic narrative shaped by precise phrasing, dynamic contrasts and a finely tuned ensemble sound. Expect cadenced tension, luminous solo lines and a propulsive finale that reaffirms the music’s emotional and structural power.

Told as a solo performance, this piece follows a woman as she remembers the films that shaped her life and blurs the line between cinema and memory. Through references to science-fiction sagas and cinematic archetypes — the woman-soldier, the survivor, the reluctant mother — the show probes identity, fear of change and the ways stories migrate from screen to skin. Sparse staging and intimate narration create a haunting, introspective atmosphere.
