Sunday night saw Maxim Vengerov perform in a special farewell concert dedicated to the United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon, alongside the UN Orchestra. The concert took place at Victoria Hall Geneva, “in the presence of former Secretary General Kofi Annan, Swiss political dignitaries from the federal, cantonal and city levels, as well as from the Fondation pour Genève“.1
Maestro Antoine Marguier – the conductor for the evening’s concert, led the orchestra in an all-Tchaikovsky programme, which included “a masterful interpretation of the violin concerto by Maxim Vengerov”.2
