On this day, one of today’s greatest musical talents, Austrian pianist Lukas Sternath, will begin his first chapter of the Prague Spring festival alongside the Rotterdam Philharmonic Orchestra and conductor Lahav Shani. The 25-year-old winner of the ARD Munich Competition and holder of the ECHO Rising Star 2024 title has, over the past three years, made his debut at the Salzburg Festival, the BBC Proms, the Elbphilharmonie, London’s Wigmore Hall, and the Gewandhaus in Leipzig. A program inspired by the worlds of Clara Schumann, Johannes Brahms, and the romantic passions of the 19th century promises a concert full of emotion, elegance, and musical discoveries. program Johan Wagenaar — Cyrano de Bergerac Op. 23, Overture Robert Schumann — Concerto for Piano and Orchestra in A minor Op. 54 Johannes Brahms — Symphony No. 2 in D major Op. 73 performers Rotterdam Philharmonic Orchestra Lahav Shani conductor Lukas Sternath piano More all events festivals Prague Spring Festival 12. 5. 2026—4. 6. 2026
