The Salzburg Festival
Here is a clip from 2013 where you can see Yannick Nézet-Séguin’s performance as Music Director of the Rotterdam Philharmonic Orchestra conducting Tchaikovsky’s Fantasy-Overture ‘Romeo and Juliet’
The Salzburg Festival starts this year on July 18 and goes through August 30.
The Vienna Philharmonic will perform their first concert on July 25 with ‘Les Fresques de Piero della Francesca’ by Bohuslav Martinů. The frescoes in the Church of San Francesco in Arezzo in Italy were his inspiration for this concert. The actual world premiere of this concert took place in 1956 also at the Salzburg Festival and was then conducted by Rafael Kubelik. The conductor of the Vienna Philharmonic this year is Yannick Nézet-Séguin, a native of Montreal.
Yannick Nézet-Séguin’s bio and accomplishments can be found on his website: (http://www.yannicknezetseguin.com/biography.html).
During the Salzburg Festival, he will also be conducting Anton Bruckner’s Mass No. 3 in F minor.
Should your summer travels take you to Austria this year, a stop at the Salzburg Festival will surely be a special event.
