Playing violin sounds like fingernails scratching on a chalkboard. That’s how Gil Shaham’s mother reacted to his wish to learn the instrument. But he won out, and later even won a Grammy. What he says about Korngold’s magnificent violin concerto: »It takes a listener on a journey of about half an hour, and at the end, you’re transformed. You feel like you’ve read a great novel or seen a great movie.«

Flute and harp take centre-stage for this concert – both in duet and in combination with other instruments. Emmanuel Pahud, principal flautist of the Berliner Philharmoniker, and solo harpist Marie-Pierre Langlamet present a programme of French music – elegant, sensuous and virtuosic – with their orchestral colleagues. Also on the programme is Rêverie française composed by Bruno Delepelaire, principal cellist of the Berliner Philharmoniker. Each concert in the series this season will feature a work by our Composer in Residence Wolfgang Rihm, who died in 2024; this time, his tautly atmospheric septet En plein air.
Experience divine certainty! We can safely assume angels are musical. Earthly conceptions of their music have evolved—sometimes soft with harp, sometimes sung, sometimes festive with winds. Heavenly hosts significantly influenced secular music's development. Had angelic music become human, earthly music would be impoverished. B'Rock Orchestra, Vocal Consort, Andreas Küppers, and Lucile Richardot explore these angelic secrets from late Renaissance to present.

In the hopes that in April spring will already be bursting out of the ground, the sky, and people’s hearts, this concert could not begin more fittingly than with Lili Boulanger’s D’un matin de printemps, a sonic representation of springtime. It is an entertaining and wonderfully orchestrated piece that is definitely worth listening to. Tchaikovsky’s Violin Concerto is a more familiar work, and has found one of its most sympathetic advocates in Vadim Gluzman; indeed, this work has become second nature to him. Additionally, Gluzman has had a long-standing collaboration with conductor Tugan Sokhiev (as well as with BRSO concertmaster Anton Barakhovsky). Chausson’s Symphony in B flat major, a pinnacle of French symphonic music, will round off the programme.

The Frankfurt Radio Symphony Orchestra, led by Delyana Lazarova, will perform at the Stadttheater Gießen. The program includes Lili Boulanger's touching orchestral music, Henri Dutilleux's Cello Concerto, featuring soloist Peter-Philipp Staemmler, and Beethoven's dynamic Symphony No. 2.
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!
From the depths to the stars; from romance to tragedy: Dima Slobodeniouk pairs Prokofiev’s Romeo and Juliet with Lili Boulanger’s mighty shout of hope and praise.

She returns to Essen's Philharmonie with Schubert's "Great C Major Symphony," a piece she performed with the orchestra in 2020.

‘There is still no music that is closer to my heart than Schubert's,’ says Joana Mallwitz. This composer and his works were the ‘initial spark’ for her to become a conductor. ‘I'm really looking forward to conducting Schubert's “Great” in C major not in front of cameras and an empty hall, as I did in 2020 when I made my debut with the Konzerthausorchester due to the coronavirus, but in front of an audience. I think it's one of the best pieces ever,’ says our chief conductor. Before that, cello soloist Kian Soltani will delight you with Tchaikovsky's longing look back at the musical world of Mozart, who gave his guild the charming ‘Rococo Variations’. The programme opens with ‘D'un matin de printemps’, one of only six chamber music works that belong to the oeuvre of Lili Boulanger, who was awarded the Prix de Rome in 1913. It was composed in 1918 a few weeks before she died of tuberculosis at the age of 24 and is an impressionistic portrayal of a spring morning. .
