The Salzburg Festival regrets to announce that Mariss Jansons has been advised by his doctors to take a break for regeneration, forcing him to cancel his concerts at this summer’s Salzburg Festival. We send the conductor and recipient of the Festival Brooch with Rubies our very best wishes for a speedy recuperation.
Fortunately, Yannick Nézet-Séguin has agreed to take over the two concerts on 2 and 4 August 2019

The Salzburg Festival regrets to announce that Lisa Batiashvili has been forced to cancel her appearance with the Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks on August 4 in Salzburg due to health reasons. We are extremely fortunate to have secured Gil Shaham to take over the performance of the Prokofiev g-minor violin concerto.
