From January 2025, the Staatsoper Unter den Linden will present György Kurtág’s only opera Fin de partie, based on Samuel Beckett’s Endgame. During the run of performances, the Staatskapelle and a group of vocal soloists bring Kurtág’s 1990 Beckett homage What Is the Word to the Pierre Boulez Saal, continuing the annual tradition of the orchestra’s guest concerts. Kurtág’s fascinating score is framed by works of Béla Bartók and Franz Schubert. Young British conductor Finnegan Downie Dear, who led the Staatskapelle’s previous Pierre Boulez Saal appearance, returns to the podium. Presented by the Staatsoper Unter den Linden in cooperation with the Pierre Boulez Saal. Tickets are available exclusively from the Staatsoper Unter den Linden: staatsoper-berlin.de

Chang Hanna (Violin), Simonen Sini (Violin), Ridout Timothy (Viola), Młodawski Maciej (Cello), Seldis Dominic (Double Bass), Baillieu James (Piano), Djikoloum Armand (Oboe), Leibovitz Jonathan (Clarinet), Harman Amy (Bassoon), Goldscheider Ben (French Horn)
Many a leading artist’s career might have turned out differently if it had not been for the Young Classical Artists Trust. “Without YCAT I’d probably still be wondering whether or not I should be a singer,” says Ian Bostridge. Since 1984, the British organization has supported rising young artists embarking on an international career by providing opportunities to perform as well as assistance with management and marketing. For its 40th anniversary, current and former participants gather at the Pierre Boulez Saal to present a program of large-scale chamber works by Franz Schubert and Samuel Coleridge-Taylor as well as a new composition by current YCAT Composer Fellow James B. Wilson.

Wendeberg Michael (Conductor), Motseri Keren (Soprano), Boulez Ensemble (Ensemble)
“Fold by fold”—pli selon pli—Pierre Boulez reveals a portrait of the poet Stéphane Mallarmé, arguably the most important literary influence on his music, in his eponymous work for soprano and orchestra. Michael Wendeberg, who worked closely with Boulez as pianist of the Ensemble intercontemporain, conducts excerpts from the composer’s most expansive score, in the piece’s Pierre Boulez Saal premiere. The program also includes the 1965 ensemble work Éclat as well as compositions by Maurice Ravel and Austrian composer Thomas Wally, born in 1981.

A few days before Pierre Boulez’s 100th birthday, Matthias Pintscher and the Boulez Ensemble celebrate the composer, who passed away in 2016, with a perfor­ mance of sur Incises, his last major ensemble work. The program also includes Debussy’s Sonata for Flute, Viola, and Harp as well as Pintscher’s own beyond II (bridge over troubled water). Scored for the same combina­ tion of three instruments, it received its premiere as part of the digital Festival of New Music in the summer of 2020 and is now heard live at the Pierre Boulez Saal for the first time.

WEST-EASTERN DIVAN ENSEMBLE

Fri, Jun 13, 2025, 19:30
West-Eastern Divan Ensemble (Ensemble), Barenboim Michael (Violin), Barenboim Michael (Musical Director)
The genesis of Pierre Boulez’s only string quartet Livre pour quatuor—begun by the composer in the late 1940s and left unfinished at the time of his death—resembles a veritable never­ending story. In 2018, Philippe Manoury, one of today’s leading French composers and a close artistic associate of Boulez, completed the fragment of the fourth movement based on the extant sketches. The West-Eastern Divan Ensemble per­forms Manoury’s version, which had its world premiere at the Pierre Boulez Saal, juxtaposing it with Mozart’s Clarinet Quintet and Schubert’s late String Quintet.
