Angry. Phlegmatic. Melancholic. And Warm-blooded. These are not just the four temperaments but also the four movements of the second symphony by Danish composer Carl Nielsen. In this monumental work from the early twentieth century, he takes us through four completely different moods: from a wild first movement, through a calm and almost cold second, and a gloomy third, to the warm-blooded final movement. The Philips Symphony Orchestra kicks off 2025 early with an extra winter concert, led by its new chief conductor Txemi Etxebarria. At the heart of this concert is Nielsen’s second symphony. But even before intermission, there’s plenty to enjoy with works by composer Malcolm Arnold. He wrote the cheerful suite for the film The Inn of the Sixth Happiness as well as the lively Four Scottish Dances. Arnold’s music is complemented by the stunningly serene The Lark Ascending by Vaughan Williams, featuring the young violinist Maayke Vyvey as the soloist.

For the Love of Music

Community life is an important socio-cultural engine of our society. There is little else that connects people as much. The association is undoubtedly one of the most effective means against division in society. Both associations and enthusiasts, as well as independent practitioners of amateur art, can turn to Muziekgebouw Eindhoven. With the project “For the Love of Music,” we are pleased to make our venues available to everyone who loves music: creators, artists, and musicians from Eindhoven and the surrounding region.
