OSR invites Berner Symphonieorchester

Booking Required

Invited by the OSR, Krzysztof Urbański conducts the Berner Symphonieorchester with Swiss pianist Francesco Piemontesi in a programme devoted to Johannes Brahms. The evening contrasts the Piano Concerto No. 1—born in mourning, marked by solemn intensity—with the radiant serenity of Symphony No. 2. The interpretation privileges orchestral warmth, layered textures and clear dynamic shaping, transporting listeners into an intimate, emotionally charged sound world where lyricism and dramatic surges alternate with measured poise.
