Concerts with works by

Lili Boulanger

Women Power

Komponistinnen hatten es lange schwer, sie wurden zu ihren Zeiten wie von der Geschichte meist missachtet. Doch haben Frauen mit Kraft komponiert, mit viel Talent zu vielen Zeiten. In diesem Konzert sind einige zu erleben, mit ihrer reichen Musik und ihrem kreativen Schaffen. Clara Schumann, Lili Boulanger und Rebecca Clarke wird man dabei vielleicht noch kennen, anders sieht es da schon bei Isabella Leonarda aus, einer italienischen Nonne des 17. Jahrhunderts, die gleichwohl zu den produktivsten Komponistinnen ihrer Epoche gehörte, oder bei Marie Jaëll, einer französischen Pianistin und Komponistin des 19. Jahrhunderts. Auch die Französin Mélanie Bonis, deren Werke im 19. Jahrhundert meist unter dem Pseudonym Mel Bonis publiziert wurden, kennt man hierzulande kaum, ebenso wie die österreichische Pianistin, Sängerin und Komponistin Maria Theresia von Paradis, die seit ihrer Kindheit blind war und im Musikleben ihre Zeit, der Wiener Klassik, zugleich sehr prominent. In diesem Konzert kann man sie alle kennenlernen, wie auch Emilie Mayer, eine deutsche Komponistin des 19. Jahrhunderts, die ebenfalls zu Lebzeiten hochgefeiert wurde und weithin als der »weibliche Beethoven« galt.Konzertdauer: ca. 110 Minuten – inklusive Pause

Spring

"Everything rejoices and hopes when spring renews itself," said Friedrich Schiller. Right on time for the beginning of spring, the musicians of the Young Symphony Orchestra at the State High School for Music invite the audience on an exciting musical journey from the mid-18th to the mid-20th century. Joseph Haydn's very special Symphony in F minor, "La passione," already suggests a connection between the Easter and Passion time and Ostara - the Germanic goddess of spring, fertility, and dawn. The inspiration for the program is also evident through the melodious Spring tributes of Frederik Delius, Jean Sibelius, or Lili Boulanger, with the musical journey also leading through distant and unique landscapes of the European continent: from the idyllic plains of England to the cool Parisian mornings and into the Finnish wilderness. Less picturesque, but brilliantly vivid, Antonín Dvorák explores the contrasting colors of the wilderness in a fascinating way in "The Wood Dove." Finally, Johann Strauss gifts us with light, warmth, and coziness in his waltz "Roses from the South."

B'Rock Orchestra "Seraphim"

With divine certainty, angels are musical. Throughout time, earthly interpretations of their music have varied, from gentle harp melodies to powerful brass fanfares. Heavenly hosts significantly influenced secular music's development. Had angelic music adopted human traits, earthly music would have been impoverished. B'Rock Orchestra and Vocal Consort, with Andreas Küppers and Lucile Richardot, explore these mysteries from the late Renaissance to the present.

Speak Low. Songs about masculinity and queer utopias

The art song – a mirror of a bygone era and yet surprisingly contemporary. Johannes Worms and Nasti invite you to an evening that looks at familiar and new works from an unusual perspective.

Maria Ioudenitch. Stanislav Ioudenitch Duo-Expedition

Rising violinist Maria Ioudenitch and her pianist father, Stanislav, share a close bond both personally and musically. Their program begins with Beethoven's last violin sonata, followed by Ravel's, featuring a jazzy "Blues" movement. After works by the Boulanger sisters—Nadia's song "Soleils Couchants" and Lili's Nocturne and Cortège—they perform Bartók's first sonata, with its dissonances mirroring occasional family life tensions.

Die Königsklasse der Kammermusik

The master class of chamber music.

Konzerte Stadttheater Gießen

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.

Cello-Frühling

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!

Slobodeniouk conducts Prokofiev’s Romeo and Juliet

Renouveau Kammerkonzert 8

Musicians of the Komische Oper Berlin present intensive listening experiences in special locations as part of their chamber concerts. From the festive ambience of the Schiller Theater to the monumental vastness of the old hangar at Tempelhof Airport, with new sound worlds at the Kindl site to enchanting experiences in a tent.

Joana Mallwitz Konzerthausorchester Berlin

At 19, Joana Mallwitz conducted her first opera, becoming Europe's youngest General Music Director eight years later. Her 2020 Salzburg Festival debut with Mozart's "Così fan tutte" was a sensational success. Now leading the Konzerthausorchester Berlin, Mallwitz believes music must go "through the head, into the heart and body." She returns to Essen's Philharmonie with Schubert's "Great C Major Symphony," a piece she performed with the orchestra in 2020.

Konzerthausorchester Berlin, Joana Mallwitz

‘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. .
