The Franz Schubert Filharmonia will perform under the batons of renowned conductors such as Sergey Smbatyan, Lionel Bringuier and Mikhail Pletnev, with whom they will debut for the first time and also under the direction of Tomàs Grau, the ensemble's principal conductor. As for the performers, there will be debuts with violinist Daniel Lozakovich and cellist Edgar Moreau and, on the other hand, reunions with performers already known to the orchestra such as Maxim Vengerov - with whom they have already worked together at the start of the 2024-25 Season - and Gil Shaham, with whom the orchestra is currently recording an album that includes works by Alexey Shor, resident composer of the InClassica Festival.
