change to violinist in Roll Over Beethoven

Luíz Filíp has had to pull out as soloist for Beethoven’s Violin Concerto in Wednesday’s RTÉ CO Roll Over Beethoven concert. He will be replaced by Nicolas Koeckert, whose performance in Beethoven’s Violin Concerto with the State Philharmonic Orchestra of Rhineland-Palatinate was described as ‘mysterious, sophisticated yet poetic…technically mature’ (Ruhr-Nachrichten).

He has also been hailed by Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung as ‘absolutely convincing…an artist one might imagine of Paganini-like virtuosity’.

The all-Beethoven programme is unchanged – Fidelio Overture, Violin Concerto and Fifth Symphony.
