Neeme Järvi, who began his tenure as artistic and musical director of the internationally renowned Geneva-based Orchestre de la Suisse Romande (OSR) in September 2012, was conducting the orchestra in the UK for the first time. After performances in Birmingham and Manchester, the final concert took place in London. It was a rare opportunity to experience one of the world’s most famous and prolific recording ensembles as the OSR enters an exciting new chapter under the direction of Maestro Järvi.
Celebrated Russian pianist Boris Berezovsky delighted the audience by playing the famous piano concerto of Edvard Grieg in A minor. The performance also included Tchaikovsky’s final symphony, ‘Pathétique’.
After the concert, Vacheron Constantin gave a private reception at the Royal Festival Hall’s Weston Roof Pavilion, that boasts spectacular views over the London Embankment. Guests enjoyed an opportunity to admire the precious timepieces from the brand's Patrimony collection.
Marketing Director Julien Marchenoir emphasised the longstanding ties of friendship and partnership between Vacheron Constantin, the Orchestre de la Suisse Romande and Neeme Järvi.
