Information
The Touch of Beauty
Fri 30 Oct 2026 at 7 PM, Tampere Hall (Main Auditorium)
Mario Venzago, conductor
Tampere Philharmonic Choir
Mario Venzago: Ulisse
Johannes Brahms: Nänie, for chorus and orchestra
Felix Mendelssohn: Symphony No. 5, “Reformation”
Conductor Mario Venzago leads us on a musical journey one would never wish to end. Brahms’s Nänie for choir and orchestra is a quiet elegy for beauty and love—and for the transience of all things. Mendelssohn’s work moves from a devout introduction toward a radiant finale, in which Luther’s hymn A Mighty Fortress Is Our God rises to a symphonic conclusion.
