Pekka Kuusisto begins the New Year with a string of performances in collaboration with the Mahler Chamber Orchestra at the Cartagena Music Festival under the baton of Teodor Currentzis. Pekka performs Mozart’s Violin Concerto No. 5 with the orchestra on 9 and 10 January.

Pekka made his debut with the ensemble in June 2014, directing a set of innovative programmes in Budapest, Berlin and Reykjavik. You can watch him perform with the orchestra in this video from the concerts.

He returns to South America later this season to direct The Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen on tour, which includes concerts in Buenos Aires, Lima, Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo.
