The Münchner Philharmoniker and Valery Gergiev traditionally open the new season with a series of performances on tour. In September the ensemble will visit Austria and Romania before setting off for Munich to give their first performances of the 2017-18 season at the ensemble's home venue.
On 7 September the Münchner Philharmoniker under Valery Gergiev will be appearing at the Grafenegg Music Festival (Austria). The concert programme at the open-air stage of the Wolkenturm (Pillar of Clouds) includes Anton Bruckner's Symphony No 4 (Romantische) and Sergei Rachmaninoff's Second Piano Concerto. The soloist will be Daniil Trifonov.
The German orchestra will then appear at a major Romanian music forum – the International George Enescu Festival. The concert programme on 9 September will repeat the Austrian performance, featuring Anton Bruckner's Symphony No 4 and Sergei Rachmaninoff's Second Piano Concerto, again with soloist Daniil Trifonov. On 10 September the Münchner Philharmoniker will perform George Enescu's First Symphony, Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov's symphonic suite Schéhérazade and Camille Saint-Saëns' Cello Concerto No 1. The soloist will be Andrei Ioniţă, prize-winner at the XV International Tchaikovsky Competition. Valery Gergiev will be conducting.
At the orchestra's home venue – the Gasteig Philharmonie (Germany) – the first concerts of the 2017-18 season by the Münchner Philharmoniker under Valery Gergiev will take place on 21 and 22 September. The programme includes Anton Bruckner's First and Third Symphonies (21 September) and Franz Schubert's Unfinished Symphony and Anton Bruckner's Fourth Symphony (22 September).
A similar programme will be presented by the Münchner Philharmoniker under Valery Gergiev as part of their subsequent tour to Austria. On 25 and 26 September the musicians will be appearing at the International Bruckner Festival in Sankt Florian. Both of the ensemble's concerts will take place at the Sankt Florian Monastery, where Anton Bruckner was laid to rest.
