With such a star player can naturally trumpet concerto, that of Haydn, not missing. Andris Nelsons The stormy underway conducting career Andris Nelsons has quickly solid form adopted by the RCO.

The results of this laboratory are found in the Tremplin concerts where the creations of young composers are performed together with works from the youth of their elders, in this case, the Finnish composer Magnus Lindberg.
