On Sunday afternoon, March 3, in an almost sold-out Amare , the First Cello Concerto by Shostakovich and Stravinsky's Firebird, among others, sounded. An experience!

The Residentie Orkest was conducted by regular guest conductor Jun Märkl, who, in addition to Stravinsky, also conducted Sinfonia III 'Facetten' by Dutch composer Lex van Delden and A Night on the Bald Mountain by Mussorgsky. Cello sensation Nicolas Alstaedt played Shostakovich's powerful and colorful First Cello Concerto. Enjoy afterward with these beautiful photos taken by Wouter Vellekoop.
