Finnish composer Ida Moberg’s Sunrise vividly portrays the sun’s morning ascent, setting a serene yet dynamic tone. Haydn’s Symphony No. 39, Storm at Sea, contrasts erratic bursts with sudden silences, blending Sturm und Drang with Romantic foreshadowing. Dvořák’s Seventh Symphony shifts between drama and lightness, while Martinů’s Rhapsody Concerto combines Romantic warmth with lyrical elegance. The spotlight falls on violist Antoine Tamestit, whose artistry brings Martinů’s effervescent concerto to life alongside the Antwerp Symphony Orchestra.
