Andreas Ottensamer and İDSO Mesmerize Art Enthusiasts at AKM with a Special Concert

On the evening of November 17th, a memorable concert took place at the Atatürk Cultural Center (AKM) Türk Telekom Opera Salonu. The Istanbul State Symphony Orchestra (İDSO), under the direction of Austrian clarinet artist and conductor Andreas Ottensamer, came together with the young and talented violinist Daniel Lozakovich. This special night transformed into a musical feast filled with selected works from the symphonies of world-renowned composers Jean Sibelius and Beethoven.

In the first part, Daniel Lozakovich’s performance of J. Sibelius’s Violin Concerto in D minor, Op. 47, with the 1713 “Ex-Sancy” violin by Stradivari, offered an unforgettable experience to the audience by aesthetically reflecting Finland’s rich musical heritage. In the second part of the concert, the audience was enchanted as they transitioned from the classical to the romantic era with Beethoven’s Symphony No. 2.

Andreas Ottensamer, one of the most beloved guest artists of the previous season, once again joined forces with İDSO. Following this impressive performance, Ottensamer will continue to conduct İDSO on November 24th, accompanying Dmitry Shishkin, who has received prestigious awards at a young age. On December 1st, Ottensamer will lead İDSO alongside Maximilian Hornung, one of today’s brightest cello artists.

This special concert series, where the Austrian artist continues his careers as a soloist and conductor simultaneously, continues to enchant classical music enthusiasts. İDSO’s season, filled with these impressive performances, invites art lovers to experience unforgettable moments.
