Invitation to the Dance

Music and movement are inseparably linked with each other. Dance as a visual expression of music and as an interplay between people has always served as inspiration for composers. Three composers invite the audience to a «moving» concert: Weber’s "Aufforderung zum Tanz" [Invitation to Dance] – opening the door to a ballroom, Schumann’s violin concerto – the free solo section and Ravel’s homage to the Strauß dynasty "La Valse" provide the Tonkünstler with ample room for a round dance. Swiss conductor Mario Venzago and Latvian violinist Baiba Skride are the dance masters at this extraordinary concert.
