Victoria Hall is a prominent concert hall housed in a majestic neoclassical building. This historic venue is celebrated for its exceptional acoustics, making it a favored destination for music enthusiasts. While occasionally featuring other musical genres, Victoria Hall remains predominantly dedicated to the world of classical music.
Led by maestro Marek Tracz, the Opera Polska orchestra and choir present a gala of Giuseppe Verdi excerpts, from La Traviata and Rigoletto to Aida, Il Trovatore, Nabucco and I Vespri Siciliani. The programme juxtaposes intimate arias and sweeping choruses — from Violetta’s fragile lyricism to the triumphant “Marcia trionfale” — framed by evocative scenography, striking costumes and original choreography. Rich in patriotism, passion and theatrical grandeur, the evening immerses listeners in Verdi’s potent drama and melodic warmth.
Led by music director and solo violin Vladik Otaryan, Philharmonie der Solisten presents a programme centred on Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons, complemented by works of Bach, Mozart and Brahms. The ensemble of soloists blends individual virtuosity with collective precision, producing shimmering textures and vivid contrasts. Expect lyrical solos, crisp ensemble writing and dynamic climaxes that map the changing seasons—intimate moments of reflection and expansive passages of radiant energy, guiding listeners on a richly expressive musical journey.
Daniil Trifonov offers a nuanced and virtuosic piano recital exploring a wide span of repertoire, from Händel and Mozart Camargo Guarnieri to Stravinsky, Schubert and South American voices. The programme juxtaposes baroque refinement, romantic lyricism and 20th-century colour, including works by Juan Francisco García, Heitor Villa-Lobos, Alberto Ginastera, Rafael Bullumba Landestoy and the artist’s own compositions. Trifonov’s poetic touch and dynamic contrasts illuminate each piece with sensitivity and power.
Under the baton of Karen Kamensek, this programme weaves sparkling overtures, lyrical intermezzos and poignant opera arias delivered by soprano Juliana Grigoryan. The orchestra shapes luminous textures and nuanced dynamics, balancing dramatic intensity with refined phrasing. The evening explores melodic eloquence and theatrical gesture, drawing listeners into an intimate yet expansive sound world. Expect vivid orchestral colours, sensitive solo lines and an emotionally charged journey through the operatic repertoire.
Conductor Marc Minkowski leads Les Musiciens du Louvre with chorus and soloists Lydia Hoen Tjore (soprano), Sun-Ly Pierce (mezzo-soprano), Lunga Eric Hallam (tenor) and Alex Rosen (bass) in a programme of sacred works by Wilhelm Friedemann Bach and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. The Requiem is paired with an intimate Adagio and the motet Ave verum corpus, creating a sequence that moves from introspective lament to dramatic, luminous climaxes. Performed continuously, the choir, strings and organ weave dense textures and radiant sonorities.
Under the baton of Jonathan Nott, this symphonic programme pairs contemporary sound with late-Romantic depth. Janine Jansen’s violin brings Dubugnon’s Sonnenring — a concerto inspired by the visionary art of Adolf Wölfli and premiered in Switzerland — to life with fearless lyricism. The evening culminates in Gustav Mahler’s expansive Symphony No. 7, “Chant de la nuit”, its nocturnal textures explored with shimmering orchestral colour. The performance stems from a commission shared by the Orchestre de la Suisse Romande and the London Symphony Orchestra.
