Tableaux orchestraux: Leonidas Kavakos & Beatrice Rana

Stepping up to the podium.
Leonidas Kavakos is no stranger to the Philharmonie, having performed as a violin soloist on numerous occasions, but this concert marks his conducting debut with the Luxembourg Philharmonic, as they bring to life Modest Mussorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition. Prepare for a mythical journey from the Catacombs of Paris to the Great Gate of Kiev, but not before you’ve enjoyed the majestic splendour of Robert Schumann’s Piano Concerto – a tribute to his wife Clara, performed masterfully by this year’s Artist in focus, virtuoso Beatrice Rana.

The music: Robert Schumann: Klavierkonzert; Modeste Moussorgski: Tableaux d’une exposition (Bilder einer Ausstellung) (arr. Maurice Ravel)
The artists: Luxembourg Philharmonic; Leonidas Kavakos (conducting); Beatrice Rana (piano)
