Teresa Riveiro Bohm, conductor

Join the RTÉ Concert Orchestra for special performances of deeply emotional pieces by Brahms, Bruch and Tchaikovsky, including Tchaikovsky’s Symphony No. 6, “Pathétique”, first performed under Tchaikovsky just nine days before his death.

This unforgettable evening of masterful Romantic music is led by Austrian Spanish conductor Teresa Riveiro Böhm. Winner of the 2019 Neeme-Järvi Prize at the Gstaad Menuhin Festival, Böhm has held prestigious positions with the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, the Welsh National Opera and the Barcelona Symphony Orchestra.

The concert begins with Brahms’ Tragic Overture Op. 81, a powerful and dramatic piece written in the summer of 1880 which showcases the intensity and emotional depth of Brahms, through its sweeping melodies and bold harmonies. 

Orchestra leader Mia Cooper steps into the spotlight as soloist to perform Bruch’s Violin Concerto No. 1, a piece renowned for its lyricism and technical brilliance. The orchestra will journey through virtuosic passages and lush, romantic melodies in a display of Bruch’s rich musical expression.

The evening culminates with Tchaikovsky’s Symphony No. 6, one of the most profoundly emotional symphonies. Its dramatic contrasts, soaring melodies and poignant final movement conclude an evening of classical descent, despair and triumph. 

Presented by the RTÉ Concert Orchestra.
