LineUp

Johannes Brahms, born in Hamburg, Germany, was a pivotal Romantic era composer. He masterfully blended classical forms with rich harmonies and lyrical melodies in his symphonies, concertos, and chamber music. Celebrated for works like "Hungarian Dances" and his "Lullaby," he is considered one of classical music's "Three Bs" alongside Bach and Beethoven, leaving an enduring legacy.
Dmitri Shostakovich (1906-1975), a Russian composer from St. Petersburg, is celebrated for his 15 symphonies and chamber music. His classical style features sharp contrasts, grotesque elements, and deep emotional intensity. Renowned works include Symphony No. 5 and the "Leningrad" Symphony. He navigated a complex relationship with the Soviet regime, establishing a powerful legacy as a 20th-century master.
Esa-Pekka Salonen, born in Finland, is known for innovating 21st-century classical music. Principal Conductor of the Philharmonia Orchestra, he founded the Baltic Sea Festival and won the Grawemeyer Award for his Violin Concerto. Salonen collaborates with Yo-Yo Ma and Yefim Bronfman and is acclaimed for combining technical virtuosity with rhythmic and melodic innovations. He has also pioneered virtual-reality music presentations and interactive apps.
