Paavo Järvi returns to Staatskapelle Dresden for three concerts at the Semperoper on 11, 12 and 13 May.

A regular guest of the Orchestra, Järvi conducts two of the great showcases in the repertoire: Bartók’s Concerto for Orchestra and Brahms’ Piano Concerto No.1, with soloist Hélène Grimaud. The concerts mark the continuing collaboration between conductor and soloist, who worked together most recently in 2010. For the Bartók, the Staatskapelle players are joined by musicians from the Gustav Mahler Jugendorchester.
