For their performance at Young Euro Classic 2024, Cem Mansur commissioned Turkish composer Ege Gür to create a new work dedicated to the victims of the 2023 earthquake disaster.
The focus of the evening are excerpts from the two orchestral suites from Sergei Prokofiev's enchanting ballet music "Romeo and Juliet", which impressively summarize the dramatic events. As a counterpart, the program presents Hector Berlioz's dramatic symphony "Romeo et Juliette", which was composed 100 years ago about the famous lovers in world history.
And Russian music is also represented in the evening's solo concert: Sergei Rachmaninov's Paganini Rhapsody, his masterful variations on the well-known theme from the Italian violin virtuoso's Caprices.

HECTOR BERLIOZ
