The last evening of the old year is traditionally the right moment to dispel evil spirits. But who invited himself to the musical feast? Is that a Stone Guest? Such magical virtuosity – isn’t there something a little strange about it? The Gürzenich-Orchestra invites you to a dance with the devil before New Year’s dinner. Whether it’s to the beat of a waltz or with tango steps – the old year will pass by at an infernal gallop! Guest conductor Lukasz Borowicz and the Gürzenich-Orchestra have mastered the diabolical perils of this gala programme with wizard Ray Chen heading them up: musical fireworks before the year is out.
