The Jena Philharmonic under Simon Gaudenz opens the evening with Dvořák's rarely performed Othello overture, which translates Shakespeare's drama of love and jealousy into orchestral language. This is followed by Schubert's Unfinished - two movements that rank among the most enigmatic works of Romanticism.

The centrepiece of the programme is Mozart's Violin Concerto No. 3 in G Major, featuring Arabella Steinbacher as soloist. The evening concludes with Dvořák's Scherzo capriccioso, a rhythmically propulsive orchestral work brimming with Bohemian dance energy.
