NDR Jugendsinfonieorchester / Stefan Geiger

• Classical Music

Johannes Brahms’ Fourth Symphony and Stravinsky’s suite from »The Firebird« are among the masterpieces of the orchestral literature – and also among the favourites of the members of the NDR Jugendsinfonieorchester (NDR Youth Symphony Orchestra). The enchanting story of »The Firebird« utilises all of the orchestra’s sound-painting possibilities; Brahms’ Fourth Symphony sank »deeper and deeper into the soul« of the orchestra at the Berlin premiere, as the violinist Joseph Joachim wrote to his musician friend Johannes Brahms. We cordially invite you to an encounter with these two »orchestra favourites«.
