Long Night of the Theaters: Concerts!

Sat, Apr 26, 2025, 19:00
Dorothee Oberlinger (Recorder), Dorothee Oberlinger (Conductor), Marianna Julia Zolnacz (Flute), Dresdner Philharmonie
Attention: Tickets for this event will be available at a later date through the 'Long Night of the Theaters'. Recorder? Anyone can play it! How wrong this prejudice is becomes evident at a concert with Dorothee Oberlinger. She conjures sounds from the small instrument with a virtuosity that is unforgettable. In our concert, she will perform, among other pieces, the one by Terry Riley, which essentially introduced Minimal Music to the world. A music that can create an incredible pull with just a few notes. But one can also hardly resist the pull of the flute, especially when played by Marianna Julia Zolnacz, our new solo flutist. A musical celebration for flute fans and those who could become one!

Best of Classics: The Rite of Spring

Fri, Mar 21, 2025, 19:30
Jonathan Nott (Conductor), Jonathan Nott (Presentation), Dresdner Philharmonie
In the concerts of the series "Best of Classical Music," you will hear the most famous works of classical music. A brief introduction by a moderator at the beginning will provide insights into the piece and offer listening tips. Following this, the entire work will be performed. Afterwards, we would be happy to welcome you to our bar on the 1st floor, where our moderator will engage in an artist talk with the conductor. This conversation is not strictly academic - rather, we aim to take you into the personal world of our guests. About the concert: Twenty woodwinds, eight horns, five trumpets, three trombones, two tubas, five timpani, and a large percussion section alone would be enough to fill an entire football stadium with sound! In Stravinsky's "The Rite of Spring," the strings are added to the mix. However, they are not there to make noise but to play one of the most famous ballet scores of the 20th century. During its premiere in 1913, the audience was outraged and left the hall with boos. Once a scandal, this piece is now indispensable in the concert hall.

Peter-Philipp Staemmler (Cello), Delyana Lazarova (Conductor)
Experience the radiant Spring feelings of a young deceased Frenchwoman, an early Beethoven defying fate with musical confidence, and hr-solo cellist Peter-Philipp Staemmler performing a vibrant modern cello concerto in Quick & Classy. Bulgarian conductor Delyana Lazarova will bring to life not only Lili Boulanger's touching orchestral music but also the dreamlike nocturnal world of Henri Dutilleux. Not to mention Beethoven's virtuosity, marked by sharp contrasts, which belies his despair over increasing deafness and isolation. Concert duration: approx. 70 minutes - no intermission!

Casual Concert with Manfred Honeck

Fri, May 23, 2025, 20:00
Philharmonie Berlin, Main Auditorium (Berlin)
Manfred Honeck (Conductor), freekind (Live Act), Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin
A composer buffeted about by a dictatorship, writing music with subtexts – dancing on the edge of a volcano. Nothing is unambiguous in Shostakovich’s Fifth. Manfred Honeck presents the legendary work at a Casual Concert as conductor and moderator: equally exciting for newbies and nerds. And then the perfect contrast in the Lounge afterwards – with a live act and a DJ.

Best of Classics: Beethoven 7

Fri, Jun 20, 2025, 19:30
Maxim Emelyanychev (Conductor), Malte Arkona (Moderator), Dresdner Philharmonie
In the concerts of the series "Best of Classical Music," you will hear the most famous works of classical music. A brief introduction at the beginning will guide you through the piece and provide listening tips. The entire work will then be performed. Afterwards, we would be happy to welcome you to our bar on the 1st floor, where our host will meet with the conductor for an artist talk. This conversation will not be strictly academic - rather, we aim to take you into the personal world of our guests. About the concert: One of the unsolved mysteries of music history, a fast tempo, and a motif of death. All this and much more is contained in Beethoven's Seventh Symphony, which many consider to be his most cheerful and positive. It is no wonder, as the first movement already features dance-like rhythms, and in the final movement, the musicians really go all out. Some parts of the first movement resemble a Mozart symphony so much, even though Beethoven was not familiar with it, that one suspects a different influence. But what is it? That remains a secret to this day. The slow movement is also mysterious, with a haunting motif that evokes sadness and death. It is not easily forgotten.
