ABOUT THIS CONCERT
For centuries, the Gothic cathedral in
Burgos has stood at the centre of the city's spiritual and cultural
life. To mark the 800th anniversary of the first stones being laid for
this UNESCO World Heritage Site, the MCO partners with Gustavo Dudamel
for a pair of concerts featuring works by Mendelssohn, Mozart and
Beethoven.
The MCO and Gustavo Dudamel enjoy a long and creative collaboration, most recently appearing together at the Peralada Festival in 2019. For this second programme focuses on a single composer, Beethoven, whose musical works capture the awe-inspiring presence of the architecture being celebrated. Two works from his heroic middle period – the Coriolan Overture and the third symphony (Eroica) – frame an earlier showcase of Beethoven's virtuosity on the piano. Here, taking the soloist role in the second piano concerto, will be the 14-year-old Alexandra Dovgan, making her MCO debut.
