Stadtcasino Basel: Reopening Concert

Patricia Kopatchinskaja, violin
Helena Winkelman, violin
Sinfonieorchester Basel
Ivor Bolton

2020 the Stadtcasino in Basel reopens in new splendour. After renovation by the world-famous Basel architects Herzog & de Meuron, the beautiful hall dating from 1876 is once again used by the Sinfonieorchester Basel under its principal conductor Ivor Bolton. With a carnival fantasy for Basler drums and large orchestra we test the acoustics of the renovated concert hall.

Repertoire

Johannes Brahms: Symphony No. 1 in C Minor, Op. 68 (1855-1876)
Helena Winkelman: Gemini, Concert for two violins and orchestra (2020, premiere)
Rolf Liebermann: Geigy Festival Concerto for Basler drum and orchestra (1958)
