Brahms Schicksalslied 
Mozart Symphony No. 39 in E-flat, K. 543
Mozart Mass in C minor, K. 427

An evening of music by Brahms and Mozart that explores some of the most timeless human themes. Through moments of introspection, exuberance, and reverence, they reflect on fate, joy, faith, and love with depth and honesty.

Brahms’ Schicksalslied (Song of Destiny) begins with music that feels like a sunrise over still waters—calm, luminous, and serene. But then, a storm arrives. The music darkens, swells, and crashes, expressing the uncertainty of human life below. It’s a work of emotional depth and poetic power that captures the tension between fate and hope with soul-stirring beauty.

By contrast Mozart’s Symphony No 39 shimmers and sparkles with elegance and wit. From the sweeping opening to the jubilant finale, it is bursting with the joy of simply being alive and a reminder of Mozart’s unmatched ability to lift the human spirit.

From the very first notes, Mozart’s magnificent Great Mass in C Minor commands attention. It was written not by commission, but by choice – the fulfillment of a promise to his new wife Constanze, who sang the soprano solo at its first performance. It is one of Mozart’s most personal and profound creations, what Albert Einstein called his “coming to terms with God and his art.” Soaring solos and powerful choruses create moments of almost operatic grandeur, which in turn give way to passages of serene, contemplative beauty. It is a work where faith, love, and artistry converge in music that is mighty, moving and enduringly beautiful.

This unmissable concert shines a special spotlight on the soulful ballads at the heart of Supergiant Games’ acclaimed roguelike series, Hades and Hades II.

Featuring the voices of soloists Ashley Barrett, Darren Korb and special guests, and conducted by Grammy-nominated and BAFTA-winning conductor Austin Wintory, this performance brings to life the poignant songs and intimate melodies that have become beloved by fans worldwide.

The concert transforms Hades’ signature ballads into a captivating musical journey – one that embraces both the grandeur of myth and the heartfelt intimacy that makes these games truly unforgettable.

Immerse yourself in the vibrant sounds and unforgettable melodies of Persona 3, 4, and 5 for an extraordinary celebration of the Persona series’ 30th anniversary.

This concert presents a unique reinterpretation of Shoji Meguro’s iconic music, merging the explosive energy of jazz-funk with the refined richness of a classical orchestra.

This jubilee event goes beyond nostalgia: it’s an immersive journey celebrating the series’ enduring legacy, the inventive genius of Shoji Meguro, and the passionate community that has grown around these beloved games.

Whether you’re a devoted fan or a newcomer to the Persona universe, let yourself be swept away by this energetic tribute where every note crackles with excitement, style and the unmistakable spirit of Persona.

Prepare for a dazzling night with lively grooves, intricate brass, soulful solos blending with lush strings – drawing you straight into the spellbinding ambiance of the games’ Velvet Room.
