Lehnin Summer Music: Potsdam Orchestra Week

This year's program includes three works, all lesser-known but nonetheless very interesting and varied:


the "Scherzo Fantastique" by Dvořák's son-in-law Josef Suk; a "Double Bass Concerto" by Giovanni Petrosius Bottesini, the "Paganini of the double bass," and finally, the "Symphony No. 1" by Carl Nielsen, who is venerated in Denmark as a "national saint."



The Potsdam Orchestra Week is an association of amateur musicians from all over Germany and abroad. During the annual week of rehearsals at the Evangelisches Gymnasium Potsdam-Hermannswerder, demanding symphonic works are worked on under the expert direction of Matthias Salge and immediately afterwards performed in Potsdam and the surrounding area.


Admission is free
