The musicians looked into the symphonic music opus of Richard Strauss, performing the symphonic poem “Don Juan”, the symphonic fantasy from the opera “Shadowless Woman” and the suite “Rose Cavalier”. On the other hand, in Alfred Šnitke’s Third Concerto grosso for two violins and orchestra, the solo part was performed by LNSO concertmaster Georgs Sarkisyan and violinist Darja Smirnova.
