Alevtina Ioffe conducts the Staatskapelle Weimar in an Afterwork Concert at the Weimarhalle, featuring a programme that moves between Classical clarity, Romantic intimacy and vivid orchestral colour.

The evening opens with Mozart’s Bassoon Concerto in B-flat major, KV 191, followed by Wagner’s tender and personal Siegfried Idyll, written as a musical gift to Cosima Wagner. The programme concludes with Respighi’s evocative Gli Uccelli (The Birds), a suite that transforms early music inspirations into a colourful orchestral portrait of nature.
