Brass, Brilliance and Beethoven

April 18, 2026 7:30 PM - 9:30 PM Katara Cultural Village, Opera House

The Qatar Philharmonic Orchestra opens with a blaze of brass with Dukas’ ceremonial Fanfare and Gabrieli’s magnificent Canzona, works that showcase the full splendour of the orchestra’s wind and brass sections. Mozart’s turbulent Symphony No. 40 follows, one of his most emotionally charged works, before the concert culminates in Beethoven’s irresistible Symphony No. 7. A work so driven by rhythm and energy that Wagner himself called it “the apotheosis of the dance.”
