About the Event

Star violinist Alina Ibragimova returns to Amsterdam with the European Union Youth Orchestra and Tchaikovsky's heady Violin Concerto. Hungarian conductor Iván Fischer, musical director of the orchestra since 2024, also leads Stravinsky's enchanting The Firebird, about the struggle between good and evil.

Tchaikovsky's Violin Concerto
Whether she is soloing in a famous violin concerto, or shining as primarius of the renowned Chiaroscuro Quartet, the expressive violinist Alina Ibragimova always knows how to enchant her audience. 'The directness and honesty of Ibragimova's playing have the remarkable ability to make any sense of distance between performer and listener disappear,' wrote The Guardian. She returns to The Concertgebouw with Tchaikovsky's impressive Violin Concerto with its exuberant final movement.

Stravinsky's Firebird
The European Union Youth Orchestra unites young talents from all European member states in one orchestra. Together with leading conductors and soloists, they tour the world's most beautiful concert halls. Conducted by Iván Fischer, the orchestra is coming to Amsterdam this summer with Stravinsky's colorful music for the ballet The Firebird. A musical fairy tale about the struggle between two magical creatures: the firebird who represents good and the evil sorcerer Kastshei, the embodiment of evil.

Artists

Conductor, Violoncello da Spalla: Ivan Fischer

Ivan Fischer is one of the world's most sought‐after conductors. Chief Conductor of the Konzerthausorchester Berlin since the 2012/13 season, he was the founder of the Budapest Festival Orchestra in 1983, and he enjoys a close partnership with the Vienna State Opera. Ivan Fischer has won numerous awards, and he has performed in practically every major concert house in the world.

Orchestra: European Union Youth Orchestra

The history of the European Union Youth Orchestra (EUYO) began in 1974 when the European Parliament’s Committee on Cultural Affairs and Youth laid the foundations of the orchestra. Their aim was to create a musical workshop where talented young European musicians could work together under the direction of internationally recognised great conductors to create productions to be performed each year in many cities of Europe.
With its realisation the European Union added to this goal that the orchestra should set an example of co‐operation with its work, demonstrating the achievement and creativity of European youth. The ensemble made its debut in 1978 under the direction of Claudio Abbado. Over the years leading conductors (Barenboim, Bernstein, Carlo Maria Giulini, Bernard Haitink, Karajan, Zubin Mehta, Rostropovich, Georg Solti) have worked with the orchestra. 140 young musicians are active in the EUYO. Each year more than four thousand young musicians aged between 14 and 23 apply to join the orchestra.
