Concerts with Paavo Järvi
Here you will find all orchestral concerts with Paavo Järvi.
In the 2025/26 season, our Music Director Paavo Järvi will continue his Mahler cycle - with the Symphony No. 2 and the Adagio from the fragmentary No. 10, which will also be recorded on CD. He is also launching a new concert and recording project with works by the Swiss composer Arthur Honegger. He will also conduct two concerts to mark the 90th birthday of composer Arvo Pärt, with whom he has been closely associated since his childhood - one with the Tonhalle Orchestra Zurich and one with the Estonian Festival Orchestra.
He will perform cello concertos by Shostakovich and Schumann with focus artist Sol Gabetta and work on Rachmaninov's "Rhapsody on a Theme by Paganini" with focus artist Kirill Gerstein. In the tonhalleCRUSH format, he will once again not only be conducting, but also commenting on the works performed in his usual trenchant manner.
