As the 'Symphonic Mob' had to be cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic in September 2020, we invited musicians of all ages, beginners and professionals, from violin to accordion, to make music with us digitally. After countless registrations and many great video submissions, we can finally present the result: more than 170 musicians singing and playing together the old Berlin hit 'Solang noch untern Linden' by Walter Kollo.
Even if this kind of playing together can't replace the experience of a "real" "Symphonic Mob", it's a nice symbol for staying connected despite all obstacles. We wish you a lot of fun with our #home_edition of the 'Symphonic Mob' and a happy new year! We hope that we can see each other live again next autumn at the 'Symphonic Mob' 2021.

On 20 November, Orchid Classics released the first solo album by Ukrainian tenor Dmytro Popov – with a multifaceted programme of arias that have become particularly dear to him because of their emotionality and which he has interpreted many times in roles at world-renowned opera houses such as the Metropolitan Opera in New York, the London Royal Opera House or the Vienna State Opera. The recording was made together with the DSO and conductor Mikhail Simonyan and presents moving moments of musical theatre, among others from Puccini's 'Tosca' and 'La bohème', Bizet's 'Carmen', Gounod's 'Roméo et Juliette' or Tchaikovsky's 'Eugene Onegin'.
