Mozart and Dvořák: Rotterdam Philharmonic Orchestra

The Rotterdam Philharmonic Orchestra brings together two masters of classical music at de Doelen on Thursday 26 and Sunday 29 November 2026. Under conductor Sunwook Kim, the orchestra performs works by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Antonín Dvořák, featuring soloists Juliette Hurel on flute and Albane Baron on harp.

Few composers possessed the gift for memorable melodies quite like Mozart and Dvořák. Both combined musical sophistication with an instinctive sense of rhythm, harmony and emotional expression, creating works that continue to captivate audiences centuries after their composition.

From Mozart's elegance to Dvořák's dramatic symphony

The concert opens with the overture to Mozart's opera Don Giovanni, a dramatic introduction filled with tension and theatrical energy.

Mozart's Concerto for Flute and Harp follows, featuring two of the orchestra's own musicians as soloists. Flautist Juliette Hurel and harpist Albane Baron explore the delicate interplay between their instruments, accompanied by the orchestra's elegant arrangements.

The second half features Dvořák's Symphony No. 7, one of his most powerful symphonic compositions. Combining dramatic intensity with lyrical passages and influences from Czech musical traditions, the work demonstrates why Dvořák became one of the leading composers of the Romantic era.
