In this extraordinary concert, the most famous works of Antonio Vivaldi and Niccolò Paganini come together. The programme will be performed by one of the world’s most renowned Paganini interpreters, Mario Hossen, who will lead the evening both as soloist and conductor.
He will be accompanied by the orchestra Les Orpheistes, resident ensemble of the Minoritenkirche, whose outstanding virtuosity is sure to captivate the audience.
