Under the baton of their Artistic Director Paavo Järvi, The Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen returned to the Stars of the White Nights Festival in St Petersburg last week to critical acclaim.

Playing to a capacity audience at the Concert Hall of the Mariinsky Theatre the orchestra drew a rapturous response and standing ovations for their performances of Brahms’ symphonies.

Vedomosti Newspaper said “…everybody wanted to hear the ​‘new’ Brahms, and Maestro and the orchestra met these high expectations. With a precise attention to detail, Paavo Järvi is always able to find in the well known scores not only new ideas, but also a new sound, new phrasing, that’s why he is always so interesting to listen to”.

Neva Times went on to say ​“Both concerts left the audiences with an unforgettable, atmospheric and enjoyable experience”.
