introduction Jasper Gheysen / 19:15 / Music Studio
Intense doesn’t even begin to describe the piano phenomenon Alexandre Kantorow. The Times
Whenever Riccardo Chailly comes to Antwerp, something unique always happens - especially when he brings along his own Filarmonica della Scala. This orchestra, which hails from the most famous opera house in the world, has mastered the art of transforming every score into a captivating story. Chailly enhances this with his indisputable sense of rhythmic drive. The programme features Tchaikovsky's dramatic Fourth Symphony – a work that sounds like opera without singing. Prokofiev's Third Piano Concerto is the perfect complement to this. With the fast-rising star soloist Alexandre Kantorov on the piano and Riccardo Chailly as conductor, this evening promises to be one of the key highlights of the year.
