Angelika Prokopp Summer Academy

Richard Wagner: Siegfried Idyll in E major WWV 103
Reinhold Glière: Harp Concerto in E-flat major, Op. 74
Ludwig van Beethoven: Symphony No. 4 in B-flat major, Op. 60

The Angelika Prokopp Summer Academy of the Vienna Philharmonic has been a regular and successful guest at the Salzkammergut Festival Weeks in Gmunden for many years. The orchestra brings together highly talented young musicians from around the world and offers them the opportunity to learn and develop the highest standards of orchestral playing under the guidance of members of the Vienna Philharmonic.

This year's concert program combines three works from different sound worlds and forms of expression: Richard Wagner's Siegfried Idyll opens the evening. This is followed by the Harp Concerto by Reinhold Glière, one of the composer's most well-known and frequently performed works. The evening concludes with Ludwig van Beethoven's Fourth Symphony, a work of cheerful elegance and sonic transparency, created between the "Eroica" and the Fifth Symphony.

The musical direction of the evening will be led by the young conductor Martin Rajna, with the internationally sought-after harpist Anneleen Lenaerts as the soloist, who already captivated audiences at the Christmas concert in 2025.

A concert evening that impressively showcases the connection between musical education at the highest level, vibrant Viennese sound tradition, and contemporary artistry.
