On debut was Igor Strawinskys Suite No. 2 for small orchestra with a series of four dances (march - waltz - polka - gallop) followed by Lucernaris - a concert for trumpete, live electronic and orchestra of the young Swedish composer Tobias Broström. The Great symphony in C major by Franz Schubert concluded proceedings.
The reproduction of the live electronics was realized by a 5.1 reinforcement. Hartmut Lissner, technical director of Konzert- & Kongressgesellschaft opted for Versio active systems VL 750 plus VSS 18 subs, positioned on the gallery achieving a balanced sound dispersion within the entire hall.
