After the sporting adventures of the last few months, things were a little quieter in June. A special highlight was the 8th Symphony Concert – Black Pepper in the Eurogress Aachen.

The program included two impressive works:

Edward Elgar – Violin Concerto in B Minor
An intimate and emotional work inspired by the close friendship between Elgar and the famous violinist Fritz Kreisler. This concert is considered one of the most important works for violin and orchestra and offered a profound musical experience.

Igor Stravinsky - Petrushka (1947 version)
"Petrushka", the last of Igor Stravinsky's folkloric ballets, was presented in a purely orchestral version. The ballet is about a magical setting in which a juggler's puppets come to life and find themselves in surreal situations. Stravinsky's brilliant orchestration and rhythmic complexity made the piece a highlight of the evening.

The impressive sounds and the beautiful atmosphere enchanted us all and gave us an unforgettable evening.

As a special souvenir, each visitor received a bag of black pepper, which underlined the motto of the evening in a humorous and creative way.

Thank you to everyone who made this evening so special! 💚
