The high-profile annual music concert is part of the official celebration for the Nobel Prize laureates. This program included two major Romantic works: Mendelssohn's Violin Concerto in E minor, with violinist Janine Jansen and Berlioz's Symphonie fantastique. Jansen, a Dutch violinist known for her luminous tone and expressive intelligence, shone in Mendelssohn's most beloved violin repertoire. The Berlioz is the most revolutionary orchestral work exploring the depth of human imagination.
