Due to health reasons, Raphaël Pichon unfortunately has to cancel the concerts from 26 to 29 May 2025. We wish him a speedy recovery and are very grateful to Philipp von Steinaecker for agreeing to conduct at short notice. Instead of Stéphane Degout, baritone Michael Nagy will join the MCO in Cologne.
Drawing on a profound knowledge of musical style, Philipp von Steinaecker is a thoughtful, versatile conductor, whose reputation is growing steadily, whether for German Romantic, Second Viennese School or Baroque repertoire. He is also a cellist and founding member of the Mahler Chamber Orchestra.
Please note the following changes in Vienna and Cologne:
Programme in Vienna, 26th May
F. SCHUBERT Symphony No. 7 D 759 ("Unfinished")
R. WAGNER Siegfried-Idyll
F. MENDELSSOHN BARTHOLDY Symphony No. 3 ("Scottish")
Cast in Cologne, 28th May
Michael Nagy, baritone (instead of Stéphane Degout)
