The concert takes place at the Hagia Eirene Museum, one of the oldest churches of ancient Constantinople.

From Turkey Alina heads back to Germany for a concert at the Mozartfest Würzburg with the Ostrobothnian Chamber Orchestra under the baton of their Chief Conductor Sakari Oramo performing Mozart’s Violin Concerto No. 4 (10 June).

Finally, Alina teams up with Risto Joost and the MDR Sinfonieorchester in Erfurt playing Vasks’ Distant Light (24 June) in the opening concert of this year’s MDR Musiksommer.
