Herbert Blomstedt & Gewandhausorchester Leipzig / Closing of the 71st Ljubljana Festivala

The 71st Ljubljana Festival will be closed by the Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra, one of the oldest symphony orchestras in the world, which is renowned for its unique sound palette, and an exceptionally rich and varied repertoire that distinguishes it from all other orchestras. The European Union has recognised the orchestra’s special contribution to Europe’s historical and current musical wealth, and awarded it the European Heritage Label.

It will be conducted by Herbert Blomstedt, who has been described by critics and colleagues as noble, charming and modest. The first piece to be performed will be Schubert’s Mozartian Fifth Symphony, the result of an extraordinarily prolific period during which he wrote over 200 works. The event will conclude with Franz Berwald’s symphonic poem Reminiscence of the Norwegian Mountains and Third Symphony.
