The concert forms the musical final chord of the Germany Year in Russia 2020/2021. Originally the concert for the IX. International Cultural Forum St. Petersburg planned and should take place there in the Mariinsky Theater. But because of the epidemic situation in Russia, it was canceled at short notice and moved to the Konzerthaus Berlin. The planned closing event of the Year of Germany can still take place in Russia, the symbolic climax of which is the appearance of the 60 young musicians from Germany, France and Russia.
The Young Euro Classic Orchestra Germany-France-Russia plays with members of the Federal Youth Orchestra, the Orchester Français des Jeunes and the Saint Petersburg State Conservatory “Rimski-Korsakow“.
