Lahav Shani in conversation with Noah Bendix-Balgley

He immediately suspected that the unexpected call from the Berliner Philharmoniker was urgent: at very short notice, Lahav Shani stepped in for Kirill Petrenko, who had fallen ill, to conduct the 2021 New Year’s Eve Concert. He spoke with first Philharmoniker concertmaster Noah Bendix-Balgley about this surprise moment and the evening’s programme.
