This summer, the young, talented musicians of the Netherlands Youth Orchestra have thrown themselves into Shostakovich's heroic 'Fifth Symphony'. Under the stimulating leadership of permanent conductor Jurjen Hempel, they play 'energetic and dynamic', according to NRC. Together with top violinist Rosanne Philippens, they will also perform Ravel's 'Tzigane' in the Concertgebouw Amsterdam.

Shostakovich's Fifth Symphony
For the young top musicians from the Netherlands Youth Orchestra, the performance in The Concertgebouw is undoubtedly a highlight of the summer tour. This time, they focused on Shostakovich's Fifth Symphony, a heroic piece appreciated by both supporters and opponents of the strict Soviet regime. The symphony is full of drama, humour, and expression and ends with an overwhelming final movement.
Ravel's Tzigane with Rosanne Philippens
The idiosyncratic top violinist Rosanne Philippens always surprises her audience with her interpretations of known and unknown repertoire. Her compelling rendition of Maurice Ravel's Tzigane can be heard on her debut album from 2013 in the version for violin and piano. She now solos with the Youth Orchestra of the Netherlands. Tonight, Philippens combines Ravel's virtuoso work full of gipsy sounds and acrobatic violin playing with another world-famous violin piece, Poème, by Ernest Chausson.
