At the end of last year, the famous composer Sofia Gubaidulina celebrated a great jubilee — her 90th birthday, and the Belgrade Philharmonic is joining the celebration with the Serbian premiere of her Fairytale Poem (1971). After that, blending in quite nicely is Five Pieces for Orchestra, Op. 10 by Anton Webern (1911-1913), with its light instrumentation. The second part of the concert will feature the magnificent Mass in C minor by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart with guest vocal soloists and the exceptional Czech Philharmonic Choir from Brno.
