Under the direction of Philip A. Draganov, the Orchestra of the Academy of the Arts Bern will perform Beethoven’s Symphony No. 7 as part of this major symphonic project—one of the composer’s most beloved works, whose 200th anniversary of his death will be commemorated in 2027.

The program will also feature a classical solo concerto, among other pieces. The soloist will be selected in November 2026 through an internal competition at the university.
