Anthony Marwood has been a close collaborator of ours for many years. With his refined musical approach, warmth, and humor, he creates a unique sense of connection between musicians and audience.

The evening opens with Arvo Pärt’s Greater Antiphons – a work that transforms the acoustic of the Aula into a space of pure, almost meditative resonance.

Marwood then takes center stage as soloist in Mendelssohn’s Violin Concerto in D minor for violin and strings – a youthful composition that already reveals the composer’s melodic richness and vibrant energy.

We end the concert with Schumann’s String Quartet No. 1, performed in an arrangement for string orchestra. The music reflects both Schumann’s romantic spirit and his love for long, sweeping musical lines. Written during a period when he was deeply immersed in chamber music – inspired by his great admiration for Beethoven – the quartet moves between lyrical beauty, dramatic contrasts, and dancing rhythms. In this version for string orchestra, the work takes on a broader, more symphonic dimension.
