An evening full of inner tension and grand classical gestures

With the 8th Symphony Concert of the 2026/2027 season, the Hofer Symphoniker invite you to an evening that will move you from the very first note. Under the title Inner Voices, Tzvi Avni's inward-directed string orchestra piece, Beethoven's Piano Concerto No. 3 and Dvořák's 7th Symphony come together - a program that navigates between devotion, drama, and symphonic expansiveness.

Between Prayer and Departure

The opening sets a quiet, intense frame: Tzvi Avni's Prayer opens the space for concentrated listening and transforms the festival hall into a place of dialogue. The music derives its tension not from outer loudness, but from subtle colors, breathing string movement, and that serenity which is so rare and precious in concert halls.

Beethoven in C Minor: Energy with Depth

At the center is Ludwig van Beethoven's Piano Concerto No. 3 in C Minor, Op. 37, interpreted by Marie-Ange Nguci. The pianist is known for her architectural clarity, vision, and impressive stage presence. Beethoven does not depict a pleasing salon evening here, but a work full of urgency, contrast, and dialogue: The piano plunges into the orchestra, the slow movement hovers distantly, the finale consolidates the forces in a powerful rondo. This is precisely the allure of this concert experience.

Dvořák with Dark Glows and Great Arcs

Antonín Dvořák's 7th Symphony in D Minor, Op. 70 brings symphonic depth and dramatic tension to the stage. The first movement combines angular gestures with lyrical side themes, the second movement opens a calm counterpoint, the third dances indulgently, and the finale pulls the lines together with force and precision. For the live atmosphere in the festival hall, this promises an evening full of power, richness of color, and emotional density.

With Mojca Lavrenčič at the Podium

The direction is taken by Mojca Lavrenčič, who drew attention in 2026 with her victory at La Maestra in Paris. Her conducting is characterized by clarity, presence, and form-conscious energy - a strong prerequisite for a program that oscillates between chamber-music intimacy and grand symphonic gesture. It is precisely this mixture that makes the evening's allure: a concert that wants to be not only heard but felt.
