The concert presented the audience with two outstanding masterpieces by the genius composer Ludwig van Beethoven. The program opened with the musical waves of Meerestille und glückliche Fahrt , Op. 112 , also known as " The Sea Is Calm and the Journey Is Smooth " (composed in 1815).

In this work, Beethoven set to music two of Goethe's poems, " Meerestille" ( The Sea Sets ) and "Glückliche Fahrt" ( The Flourishing Journey ), combining them into a single, mystical and dramatic movement that brilliantly portrays the harmony between man and nature.
