tsjaikovski's violin concert and Symphony no. 4
tchaikovski plays the lead role in this concert with the guest director of the Lille de Lille for almost ten years. Loved is his intense and boisterous symphony no. 4. It shows the struggle in Tchaikovsky's life when the work came about, but also the unyielding power to get on top of it again. He takes you from the tragic fanfare at the start to the highest jubilation in the final.

Clara-Jumi Kang
Tchaikovsky's famous Violin Concert is on the desk of every big violinist. Also on that of Clara-Jumi Kang, who once started her career as a prize winner of the prestigious Tchaikovski competition. The concert starts with an assignment work by the Finnish composer Outi Tarkiainen. In The Rapids of Life she describes the birth of new life: the tension, the fight, the pain, but also the deep joy when seeing the newborn.
