Freundeskreis
Experience Paavo Järvi and artists from all over the world with the orchestra - in front of and behind the scenes.
Would you like to accompany the orchestra and Music Director Paavo Järvi on their journey together? And take a look behind the scenes, deepen your knowledge and socialise with like-minded people?
