Violin Concerto nº 3 in G major Strassburg, K 216, by Wolfgang A. Mozart, was written during his period as konzertmeister for the archbishop of Salzburg, after visiting Italy to study the country’s violin scores. This concert, considered to have great purity, has an elegant, light manufacture that strings together different themes, ideas and ornaments. 

The initial Allegro starts charmingly and brilliantly with a theme from his opera Il re pastore. The dialogue between oboes and violins introduces the second theme, a feature that is repeated in the Adagio. The concert ends with a frenchified Rondo, where Mozart introduces effects with playful triplets, pizzicatti, and even popular melodies. 

Symphony nº 3 in E flat major Eroica, op. 55, by Ludwig V. Beethoven was premiered in 1805 and its name comes from the admiration the composer felt for the moral, political, and humanist values of the French Revolution. Regarded as a piece that shows the transition towards Romanticism, this score gives us a glimpse of the turbulent personal times experienced by the composer, who was already profoundly deaf. 

From the first movement, an Allegro with spirit, Beethoven includes many dramatic motifs. The development of the piece includes a noteworthy energetic Scherzo, a new formula that would become his most characteristic symbol, to then culminate in a Finale in the same line, full of vitalism.

Violinist Nemanja Radulovic returns to the island after playing with Sinfónica de Tenerife for the last time in April 2013. The maestro was born in Serbia in 1985 and studied at Belgrade’s Faculty of the Arts and Music. After furthering his studies in Germany and at Paris Conservatoire, he won the Victoires de la musique classique’s International Revelation of the Year in 2005. He also won at the Joseph Joachim International Competition in Hannover, the George Enescu in Bucharest, the Stradivarius in Cremona, and the Echo Klassik in 2015.

In 2019 he made his debut in the BBC Proms with the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra, and Kirill Karabits, playing Barber. His next engagements include a European tour with the Russian State Academic Symphony and Andrey Boreyko; his debut with the Gothenburg Symphony, Philharmonia Orchestra, Sydney Symphony, MDR Leipzig Radio Symphony, Dusseldorf Symphony, RTE National Symphony Dublin, and Orchestre Philharmonique in Strasbourg.
