Fabulous Sound Worlds at the Congress Center at the Park

On November 16, 2026, the Congress Center at the Park in Augsburg will transform into a resonance chamber for natural images, fairy-tale fantasy, and great romantic emotions. The 2nd Symphony Concert »Fabulous« brings the Augsburg Philharmonic Orchestra to the stage with violinist Tianwa Yang and General Music Director Domonkos Héja.

Between Finnish Mythology and Fairy-tale Sound Poetry

Jean Sibelius opens the evening with »The Swan of Tuonela«. Dark string colors, floating sound surfaces, and a mysterious orchestration portray a mythical landscape where nature and Nordic legend intertwine. Sibelius’ music develops its effect from fine transitions, atmospheric sound, and concentrated musical tension.

Tianwa Yang Interprets Tchaikovsky's Violin Concerto

At the center stage is Pyotr Tchaikovsky's Violin Concerto in D Major, Op. 35. Artist in Residence Tianwa Yang shapes the solo part with technical precision and expressive stage performance. Between lyrical melodies, dancing impulses, and virtuosic passages, an intense dialogue arises between solo violin and orchestra.

Prokofiev's Cinderella as an Orchestral Fairy Tale

The fairy-tale character of the concert evening is intensified by excerpts from Sergei Prokofiev's three ballet suites »Cinderella«. The music tells without words: rhythmic accents, pointed character depiction, and colorful instrumentation bring figures, movement, and magical transformations to life in the inner eye. Héja's conducting connects the individual sound images into a dramaturgically cohesive concert experience.

Live Atmosphere at the Congress Center at the Park

The audience's mood thrives on the immediate encounter with the orchestra: from the first mysterious string sound to the tension of the violin concerto to the dancing finale. A concert introduction with Dr. Christine Faist starts at 6:45 PM and offers additional insights into the program, composers, and musical contexts.

The audience can look forward to a versatile symphony evening featuring Finnish nature mysticism, Russian virtuosity, and fairy-tale ballet music. Those who want to experience the Augsburg Philharmonic Orchestra in large formation and be transported to other sound worlds by Sibelius, Tchaikovsky, and Prokofiev should experience this concert date live at the Congress Center at the Park.
