The Symphonic Orchestra of Conservatorium Maastricht consists of an international, multicultural group of talented students from all over the world. Students are supported by their teachers, among whom are successful (executive) musicians of international renown. Experience the music, the talent and enjoy the concert! 

The pianoconcerto is composed in the ‘heroic tone’ of E major. This enlightening tonality gives a clear view of triumph in Beethoven. Symphony nr. 3 is known as ‘Heroic’. According to many, this is the best symphony in the world. For Miquel Rodrigo it shows that heroics are none other than man’s ability to fight, conquer complicated situations and press on.

Conductor Miquel Rodrigo
Miquel Rodrigo received his bachelor’s and master’s degree in orchestra conducting at the Conservatorium Maastricht. He started his career and became internationally renowned after winning the famous ‘Golden Baton’ award from the WMC in Kerkrade in 1993. Afterwards he was crowned in various international ochestra competitions.

In 1995 German and Dutch critics praised his brilliant debut with the ‘Limburg Symfonie Orkest’ and the ‘German Chamber Orchestra’ in Frankfurt. In 1997 he was named head of the ‘Sinfonietta’ in Geleen and in 1998 he became resident-conductor of the ‘Noord-Hollands Philharmonisch Orkest’ in Haarlem, an orchestra connected to the ‘Koninklijk Nationaal Ballet (Royal National Ballet)’. The press named him ‘Young Conductor of the Year’. He built a repertoire of symphonies, ballet, opera, operette and film music. With this repertoire he conducted in countries such as Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Hungary, Romania, Czech Republic and Spain.
