Dmitry Matvienko leads the Stuttgarter Philharmoniker in The Grand Series – Wonder on 26 March at 7:30pm at the Liederhalle Beethoven Hall. On the program three works that explore narrative, character and symphonic scale.

The programme opens with Korngold’s Suite from The Adventures of Robin Hood, a score that translates cinematic storytelling into rich orchestral writing. Strauss’ Till Eulenspiegel’s Merry Pranks follows, portraying the legendary trickster through sharp contrasts and thematic transformation. The evening concludes with Beethoven’s Symphony No. 3 “Eroica”, a landmark composition that expanded the form and expressive scope of the symphony.
With the Stuttgarter Philharmoniker, Matvienko shapes a concert that moves from orchestral colour to structural breadth, highlighting the continuity between late Romantic expression and Beethoven’s revolutionary vision. 🎶

The soprano solo part in the final movement will be performed by Marina Monzò.

Daniele Rustioni makes his debut with the Dallas Symphony Orchestra where he conducts three performances from 20–22 March 2026.

The programme brings together two striking works of the early twentieth century: Samuel Barber’s Violin Concerto, one of the most beloved concertos of the American repertoire, and Alfredo Casella’s Symphony No. 2 in C minor, presented in its Dallas Symphony premiere—a powerful and richly orchestrated score whose sweeping sonorities evoke the worlds of Strauss and Mahler.

Christian Blex leads the Brussels Philharmonic in Magiciens du son on 14 March at 8:15pm at Flagey, Studio 4, Brussels. Recognised for his precise direction and clear musical vision, Blex shapes a programme that explores colour, tension and transformation across three distinct sound worlds.

The concert opens with Debussy’s Symphonic Suite from Pelléas et Mélisande, a refined journey into Impressionism where atmosphere and suggestion prevail. Philippe Boesmans’ Fin de nuit (2017) for piano and orchestra follows, creating an intense dialogue between soloist and ensemble, suspended between dream and dawn. The evening concludes with Wagner’s Vorspiel und Liebestod from Tristan und Isolde, a landmark of harmonic innovation and expressive depth.
