Beethoven's Pastorale does exactly what the title promises - and more. You hear gurgling mountain streams, imagine yourself in rolling fields, and dance along to a country party. Funnily enough, it has been years since Beethoven's Sixth Symphony sounded in this Sunday afternoon series. While a country outing is so beneficial. The Residentie Orkest gladly drives the covered wagon for it.

In the Beethoven Top 30 broadcast by NPO Classical in 2020, the Pastorale was on the top spot. To the Residentie Orkest the grateful task of bringing the fresh outdoors into the Concert Hall . The Hague-based symphony orchestra celebrated its 120th anniversary last year. Guest conductor David Danzmayr makes his first appearance at TivoliVredenburg.
