So this is their second attempt: the New York genius’s three greatest symphonic works in one programme! Irresistible!

Piano

Philipp Scheucher

At the age of just 17, the Styrian made his debut with the Recreation Orchestra in the Stefaniensaal with Mozart's ninth piano concerto. Since then, the exceptional young pianist from Markus Schirmer's former piano class has caused an international sensation with first prizes and acclaimed guest appearances. His deepest love is for the works of Beethoven, but he is also fond of contemporary composers.

Recreation is special in many ways: consisting of musicians whose nationalities range from Japan to Venezuela, most of the members received part of their training in Graz.
