2024 is the great Bruckner year, as the Austrian symphonist just turned 200 years old (on September 4)! Bruckner remains in the spotlight during the 2024-2025 season at the Paris’ Théâtre des Champs-Elysées, where he will be featured in four unmissable events. On November 15 at 8 p.m., the Orchestre National de France will kick things off with his famous Fourth Symphony (the Romantic) conducted by Andris Poga.
Then, on January 16, 2025, the Orchestre de Chambre de Paris will follow with its new musical director. Thomas Hengelbrock, well-acquainted with the Théâtre des Champs-Elysées, will conduct the Sixth Symphony, the only one of Bruckner’s orchestral works never revised.
A highlight of every season at the Théâtre des Champs-Elysées, the Wiener Philharmoniker will perform in Paris the next day, January 17, conducted by the legendary Zubin Mehta. The grandiose Ninth and unfinished final symphony is on the program. Finally, the dynamic Yannick Nézet-Séguin will close the mini cycle with the Rotterdam Philharmonisch Orkest on March 23, 2025, performing the Third Symphony, another masterpiece by the Master.
