European roots & heritage

One of the Chamber Orchestra of Europe’s closest partners is Sir Antonio Pappano, with whom the COE will perform again in Berlin this November. On the podium is María Dueñas, one of today’s most sought-after violinists.

The program reflects the intricate web of musical connections across Europe, featuring Dvořák’s Slavonic Dances and Édouard Lalo’s Symphonie espagnole. In the second half of the 18th century, many composers explored their artistic heritage by delving into the musical traditions of their homelands—adapting, reworking, and often creating entirely new resonances that reached beyond their own countries. Both the program and the ensemble embody ideals of a genuinely European cultural outlook: regional identities in dialogue, part of a broader cross-border exchange of inspiration and creativity.
