Anne-Sophie Mutter performs alongside her hand-picked scholars from her foundation in the opulent Golden Hall of Vienna's Musikverein. The aim is to introduce them to a wider audience, showcasing their versatility and skill. The Baroque is represented by Bach's celebrated Violin Concerto in A minor and invigorating Brandenburg Concerto No. 3, as well as Vivaldi's scintillating Concerto for Three Violins. From the Classical period, Mutter presents the A Major concerto by Joseph Bologne, Chevalier de Saint-Georges – one of the most musical fascinating figures of the period – while the programme is completed by André Previn's Nonet of 2014, composed especially for the violinist and her ensemble.

For 47 years, Anne-Sophie Mutter has played in the world's most important music halls and has left her mark on the international classical music scene like no other. 29 June is the 60th birthday of the gifted violinist. Recording from 24 June 2023 from the Golden Hall of the Vienna Musikverein.
