Alber earlier impressed the Hanoi audience by conducting Beethoven’s 9th Symphony performed by the Philharmonic Chorus Berlin and VNSO at the opening of the “Cultural Year of Germany in Vietnam 2010” and the Brahms Concerto five years ago.
At “Beethoven Cycle” concert Vol. 119, the German conductor will conduct Ludwig van Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No.3, Op. 37 and Symphony No.6, Op. 68 “Pastoral”, featuring piano soloist Tamura Hibiki.
