RO: New Year's Concert
The year kicks off in full color with a program that shines, warms the heart, and lifts the audience’s spirits. The young Cuban conductor Cosette Justo Valdés makes her debut with the Residentie Orkest, while Ukrainian pianist Anna Fedorova—renowned for her profound expression—takes you on a journey through Rachmaninoff’s irresistible Rhapsody. Festive elegance, theatrical romance, and a generous dash of Italian zest make this the perfect start to 2027.
This New Year’s program takes us from the dazzling Viennese glamour of Lehár’s *Gold und Silber* to the electrifying virtuosity of Rachmaninoff. Then Tchaikovsky’s world unfolds: the colorful *Capriccio Italien*, full of southern melodies and theatrical gestures, and the magical suite from *Sleeping Beauty*, where his masterful orchestration truly shines. A passionate celebration of music that dares to sound grand, remains playful, and at the same time offers depth.
