One of them is 28-year-old Klaus Mäkelä, who is just getting off to a flying start. He is already head of the Oslo Philharmonic Orchestra and the Orchestre de Paris and will soon be leading the legendary Royal Concertgebouworkest in Amsterdam.

In the first part of the evening, the Norwegian pianist Leif Ove Andsnes will perform Sergei Rachmaninov's 3rd Piano Concerto together with the Berliner Philharmoniker under the baton of the exceptional young conductor.
