Camerata Salzburg & Janine Jansen

"She is one of those stars in the sky that makes this whole event glow," Camerata Salzburg concertmaster Gregory Ahss said about collaborating with Janine Jansen. And indeed, whether she comes to Eindhoven as a chamber musician or soloist, this world-renowned violinist is also one of the most beloved figures on our stage. Camerata Salzburg is the orchestra that performs with the spontaneity and sparkle of a chamber music ensemble. This gives Mendelssohn's Violin Concerto, from its melancholic opening to its fairy-tale finale, an intimate radiance; and the well-known Reformation Symphony a new brilliance.

There will be a free introduction at 7:30 PM, co-sponsored by the Friends of Muziekgebouw Eindhoven.

From the very moment they put their bows to the strings, Janine and Camerata Salzburg felt a magical connection. "With these musicians, it goes deeper every time, even more so than with any other musical partnerships I've had before," Janine said about it. "How it works, I don't know, but it works," Ashh added. "We embark on an extremely interesting journey together." For Janine, that journey leads to "freedom and joy." And that joy radiates in this concert program featuring the most splendid masterpieces of Bach and Mendelssohn.
