The Tonhalle-Orchester Zürich celebrates the start of its 7th season with Music Director Paavo Järvi this September, with a continued focus on the complete Mahler Symphony Cycle and a tribute to Swiss-French composer Arthur Honegger on the 70th anniversary of his death. Additional highlights include performances with season focus artists and “old friends”, cellist Sol Gabetta and pianist Kirill Gerstein, as well as a year long exploration of the music of Thomas Adés, this year’s Creative Chair.Following their acclaimed recording of Mahler Symphony No. 5 this Spring on Alpha Classics, Paavo Järvi and the Tonhalle-Orchester Zürich continue their Mahler cycle with the release of Symphony No.1 in November. The second album coincides with the start of a three-year guest residency at the Festspielhaus Baden-Baden and a Mahler tour which takes them to the Vienna Musikverein, Cologne and Paris Philharmonies.Additional touring this season includes appearances at the Gstaad Menhunin Festival and George Enescu Festival in Bucharest, a guest performance at La Scala, Milan and an extensive tour to South Korea and Japan in May. © Alberto Venzago PAAVO JÄRVI & TONHALLE-ORCHESTER-ZÜRICH ON TOUR 29 August – Gstaad Menuhin Festival DMITRI SHOSTAKOVICH: Concerto for Cello No. 2 SERGEI RACHMANINOV: Symphony No. 2 in E minor Soloist: Sol Gabetta (cello) 2 September – George Enescu Festival, Bucharest GEORGE ENESCU: Prelude from Oedipe DMITRI SHOSTAKOVICH: Concerto for Cello No. 2 SERGEI RACHMANINOV: Symphony No. 2 in E minor Soloist: Alisa Weilerstein (cello) 3 September – George Enescu Festival, Bucharest GUSTAV MAHLER: Symphony No. 2, Resurrection Elsa Benoit (soprano), Anna Lucia Richter (mezzo-soprano) George Enescu Philharmonic Choir 21 November – Musikverein, Wien ROBERT SCHMANN: Cello Concerto GUSTAV MAHLER: Symphony No. 1 Soloist: Sol Gabetta (cello) 22 November – Musikverein, Wien GUSTAV MAHLER: Symphony No. 2 Mari Eriksmoen (soprano), Anna Lucia Richter (mezzo-soprano) Zürcher Sing-Akademie 28 November – Festspielhaus, Baden Baden ANTONÍN DVOŘÁK: Cello Concerto GUSTAV MAHLER: Symphony No. 1 Soloist: Gautier Capucon (celllo) 29 November – Festspielhaus, Baden Baden 1 December – Philharmonie, Cologne 2 December – Philharmonie, Paris GUSTAV MAHLER: Symphony No. 2 Mari Eriksmoen (soprano), Anna Lucia Richter (mezzo-soprano) Zürcher Sing-Akademie 11 May – La Scala, Milan ERICH WOLFGANG KORNGOLD: Concerto for Violin PYOTR ILYICH TCHAIKOVSKY: Symphony No. 5 in E minor Soloist: Maria Dueñas (violin) 17 – 27 May – tour to South Korea and Japan Works by Beethoven, Bruch, Bruckner, Schumann, Sibelius and Tchaikovsky Soloists: Janine Jansen (violin) and Kyohei Sorita (piano) 2025 / 26 SEASON AT THE TONHALLE, ZÜRICH 17, 18 & 19 September THOMAS ADÈS: Dawn DMITRI SHOSTAKOVICH: Cello Concerto No. 2 SERGEI RACHMANINOV: Symphony No. 2 Soloist: Sol Gabetta (cello) 24, 25 & 26 September ARVO PÄRT: Silouette ARVO PÄRT: Summa TÕNU KÕRVITS: Concerto for Accordion and Orchestra (Dances) PĒTERIS VASKS (arr.
