Seiji Ozawa becomes honorary member of the Berliner Philharmoniker Seiji Ozawa returns to the Berliner Philharmoniker
A happy reunion: After a long absence due to illness, Seiji Ozawa returned to conduct the Berliner Philharmoniker again in April 2016. The focus of the evening is on the First Viennese School. Following Mozart’s Serenade Gran Partita, performed by members of the orchestra without a conductor, there is then Beethoven’s Egmont Overture and the Choral Fantasy: a work that unmistakably looks ahead to his Ninth Symphony.
