Description
On 3 November 1888, the Concertgebouw Orchestra officially presented itself to the public when it gave the opening concert of the first subscription year of Het Concertgebouw N.V. Exactly 125 years later, the orchestra is giving its Anniversary Concert, featuring a new work - a gift from the Concertgebouw to the RCO - Mysteriën (Mysteries) by Louis Andriessen, the Netherlands' most famous living composer. Also on the programme is Richard Strauss's Ein Heldenleben, dedicated in 1898 to the orchestra, which celebrated its tenth anniversary that year, and to Willem Mengelberg, its chief conductor at the time.
