Music education is known to be a special concern of conductor Elisabeth Fuchs. On the occasion of the 15th anniversary of the Children's Festival 2022, another music education project of the Salzburg Philharmonic & Children's Festival was therefore launched last year at her instigation: the Salzburg Children's and Youth Philharmonic.

Jean Sibelius' Violin Concerto, whose strikingly virtuoso final movement is one of the most famous in the violin literature, continues to exert a strong fascination on musicians and listeners alike. In concert with the Philharmonie Salzburg and Elisabeth Fuchs , the celebrated German solo violinist Alina Pogostkina demonstrated in a bravura and subtle manner why she is considered one of the world's best Sibelius interpreters.
