An evening between Viennese brilliance and great symphonic tension
The Hof Symphony Orchestra invites you on January 29, 2027 at 7:30 PM to the Festsaal der Freiheitshalle Hof for the 5th Symphony Concert of the 2026/2027 season. Under the title Classic from Vienna, Ludwig van Beethoven's Triple Concerto meets Franz Schubert's monumental Symphony No. 8. The program thus features two pinnacle works of Viennese Classicism and early Romanticism, interpreted by Can Çakmur, David Castro-Balbi, Alexandre Castro-Balbi, and conductor Johannes Wildner. A concert introduction begins at 6:30 PM. ([hofer-symphoniker.de](https://www.hofer-symphoniker.de/konzerte-tickets-events/))
Beethoven with chamber music elegance
Beethoven's Concerto for Piano, Violin, Cello, and Orchestra in C major Op. 56 thrives on a special balance: soloists and orchestra meet not as opponents, but as equal narrators. This is precisely the charm of this work, which, with its warm tone, fine orchestration, and steep dramaturgy from the lyrical beginning to the powerful finale, counts among the most distinctive classical highlights of its time. Can Çakmur brings with him an international career and a clear artistic signature; on his official website, he cites his first award at the Hamamatsu Competition as the starting point of his concert career.

Schubert's Great as a vast sound landscape
Franz Schubert's Symphony No. 8 in C Major D. 944, the Great, then opens a panorama of almost narrative breadth. The horn call at the beginning, the calm Andante, the floating Scherzo, and the eruptive finale unleash a tension that seeks its full effect in the Festsaal der Freiheitshalle. Schubert thinks here grandly, brightly, and flexibly - with widely spaced melodies, song-like moments, and an energy that captivates the audience from the very first measure.

Strong soloists, secure leadership
With Can Çakmur at the piano and David Castro-Balbi and Alexandre Castro-Balbi on violin and cello, three internationally active soloists take the stage, who, according to the event announcement, began their careers early and have received numerous awards. At the podium, Johannes Wildner provides contour and overview; the conductor has been connected to Hof for many years and, according to the official artist description, has recorded more than 100 CDs, DVDs, and videos. This ensemble promises a concert experience that unites precision and musical warmth. ([hofer-land.de](https://www.hofer-land.de/detail/id%3D6aabd4b78d9399a465933b40/?utm_source=openai))
