Saraste & Hadelich

Immerse yourself in a night of cinematic grandeur and heroic symphonic storytelling with the Helsinki Philharmonic Orchestra, conducted by the visionary Jukka‑Pekka Saraste, and the radiant Augustin Hadelich as the violin soloist. Their spellbinding rendition of Erich Korngold’s Violin Concerto transports the audience to the cultural opulence of 1930s and 1940s Hollywood, weaving motifs from such beloved scores as *Another Dawn*, *Anthony Adverse*, and *The Prince and the Pauper*. With Korngold’s lyrical mastery and Hadelich’s passionate, technically dazzling touch, the concert evokes the golden age of film music—an art form that earned the composer two Oscars. Following the concerto, the orchestra launches into Anton Bruckner’s monumental Symphony No. 7, opening with an almost mystical theme written for cellos and French horn—a dream inspiration that promised Bruckner, “With this theme you will make your fortune.” This film experience offers fans a rare chance to see classic melodies, masterful orchestration, and sublime solos brought to life in a single, unforgettable evening—complete with ticket details available in the external links.
