Rhythmic Energy Meets Vast Symphonic Soundscapes

In the 2nd Symphony Concert of the Hof Symphony Orchestra on October 16, 2026, the extraordinary sound world of percussion takes center stage. Under the title Percussion Fire, the audience at the Festsaal der Freiheitshalle Hof can expect a concert program featuring powerful rhythms, colorful orchestral sonorities, and impressive solo moments.

The renowned percussionist Vivi Vassileva will be the soloist. She brings a great diversity of her instrument to the concert stage, creating a distinctive musical accent. The percussion can do much more than just provide rhythmic accompaniment: in conjunction with a symphony orchestra, dynamic, precise, and surprising soundscapes are created.

The Concert Program

The program features works by Igor Stravinsky, Avner Dorman, and Sergei Rachmaninoff. This concert evening combines different musical characters and eras. Stravinsky's concise tonal language meets Dorman's particular attention to rhythmic structures and timbres. Rachmaninoff's composition enriches the program with the expressive and melodic power of late Romantic orchestral literature.

The Hof Symphony Orchestra presents the concert in the Festsaal der Freiheitshalle Hof. The start is scheduled for 7:30 PM. The venue at Kulmbacher Straße 4 provides the perfect setting for a focused evening of symphonic music and an extraordinary percussion solo.
