Austrian musician Selina Ott—the first woman to win the ARD Music Competition in the trumpet category—joins forces with conductor and former principal clarinetist of the Berlin Philharmonic, Karl-Heinz Steffens. Haydn’s Trumpet Concerto was revolutionary for its time: written for the newly invented valve trumpet. In his concerto, Reinhold Glière makes the trumpet sing like a human voice. The program is framed by Elgar’s “Introduction and Allegro” and César Franck’s only symphony, whose premiere once caused a scandal.
