Bruno Borralhinho (Conductor), Michael Kube (Konzeption), Daniel Haupt (Moderator), Dresdner Philharmonie
Who doesn't know the love story of Romeo and Juliet? Also in Bernstein's "West Side Story" it is about two young people whose love tragically ends. The special thing here is of course the music, Leonard Bernstein has combined various currents of jazz, classical opera, and Latin American dance music into an exciting musical sequence that still keeps us on the edge of our seats. When Gershwin spent two months in Paris in 1928, he was fascinated by the morbid-lustful atmosphere in Montmartre, the rush hour on the Champs-Élysées, and admired the imposing Eiffel Tower. But he actually felt homesick for New York, and that's exactly what the music in "An American in Paris" tells. A ragtime portrays the American. A blues in the middle part represents his melancholy. But luckily, the American meets a compatriot. The two ignore the Cancan-dancing Paris with a casual-cool Charleston.

Hans-Christoph Rademann (Conductor), Daniel Haupt (Speaker), Victoria Esper (Speaker), Michael Kube (Idea), Dresdner Philharmonie
Today, the Dresden Philharmonic Orchestra is really going to make some noise. Centuries ago, during big celebrations, a proper fireworks display was set off. This was also the case in April 1749, when the British King George II, who hailed from Hanover, organized a grand peace festival. Georg Friedrich Handel composed music for the occasion, which is still popular today because it puts everyone in a good mood. One can only hope that the little Philharmonic Orchestra doesn't get any silly ideas, or does it? Daniel will have a lot to do this morning. But don't worry! The fire department is always present at every concert in the Kulturpalast.
