2026 Europakonzert with Kirill Petrenko and Gautier Capuçon from Esterházy Palace

This year, the Berliner Philharmoniker’s Europakonzert with Kirill Petrenko follows in the footsteps of the First Viennese School: Joseph Haydn worked at Esterházy Palace for over 40 years. After an overture by Haydn, the orchestra will then perform the Second Symphony by his pupil, Ludwig van Beethoven. Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky’s Rococo Variations with cellist Gautier Capuçon offer a more Mozartian take on Classicism – and Igor Stravinsky’s Pulcinella even looks back to the Baroque era.
