Can "serious music" be humorous? Absolutely! The Berliner Philharmoniker and chief conductor Kirill Petrenko demonstrate this in the 2026 New Year's Eve concert: In his lively Symphonie classique, Sergei Prokofiev parodies the music of Haydn and Mozart. Dmitri Shostakovich also had Viennese classical music in mind when he wrote his witty double concerto for piano and trumpet. Pianist Alexander Malofeev, born in 2001, makes his debut here alongside solo trumpeter David Guerrier. Kirill Petrenko also ignites a firework of mischief with Till Eulenspiegel's merry pranks by Richard Strauss. Experience this lively turn of the year live at the movies!
