Trio-Gipfel mit Escaich

Thierry Escaich joins the chamber music series, performing Mozart's "Kegelstatt" Trio and Schumann's "Märchenerzählungen," his own virtuoso "Trio américain," and improvisations. Mozart's trio birthed a new instrumental formation, to which Schumann responded 70 years later after hearing it with Clara. Escaich's own trio evokes echoes of bygone eras.

The concerts range from public rehearsals by the Concertgebouworkest, to chamber music performances by young up-and-coming artists.For Lunchtime Concerts you will require a free ticket, which you can buy online. Doors to the concert hall open about 30 minutes before the Lunchtime Concert starts.We offer a broad range of music: the majority of concerts include classical music, but you can sometimes hear more modern repertoire. The concert programme is announced one week in advance on our website. The concerts last thirty minutes and are free of charge. Visitors are advised that these concerts are suitable for children from six years old.

Lunch concert

You can simply go to a concert at the Philharmonie, spontaneously, during your lunch break – and with free admission: every Wednesday at 13:00 between September and June. The programme lasts 40 to 50 minutes: chamber music, piano works or a percussion duo – everything from Tchaikovsky to tango. Members of the Berliner Philharmoniker and the Karajan Academy regularly perform, as well as guests from the Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester, the Staatskapelle Berlin and the Berlin music conservatories. As can be expected at a lunch concert, catering is available from 12 noon until shortly before the concert begins.

Espresso-Konzert mit dem Konzerthausorchester Berlin

At our espresso concerts in the early afternoon, we serve two kinds of caffeine - in cups and, of course, musically: outstanding young musicians present surprise programs that really wake you up - in this case on the podium of the Konzerthausorchester Berlin and as a violin soloist.

Hamburg Philharmonic State Orchestra / Daniel Cho / James Conlon

In this concert with the Hamburg Philharmonic State Orchestra conducted by James Conlon, »the« Czech composer of the 19th century meets »the« Czech composer of the 20th. We are, of course, talking about Antonín Dvořák and Bohuslav Martinů. With his Seventh Symphony, Dvořák was keen to prove that he was far more than merely a master of local Czech influences. »My symphony should turn out in such a way that it moves the world,« and it has done so ever since its acclaimed premiere in London in the 1880s. »I cannot tell you how much the English honour me! I’m written about everywhere and they say I’m the lion of this year’s music season in London.«

RAFAEL FINGERLOS & JOSEPH MIDDLETON

In 2016, the composer Robert Fürstenthal died in San Diego, California, at the age of almost 100. After fleeing the Nazis and settling in the United States in 1939, he had a successful career as an accountant before returning to composition in the 1970s, writing music that evokes his hometown of Vienna. Rafael Fingerlos, who collaborated with the composer on the premiere recording of his songs shortly before Fürstenthal’s death, is joined by Joseph Middleton to present a selection of these works, juxtaposed with compositions by Max Bruch, Johannes Brahms, and Franz Schubert.

Bruchs Violinkonzert | Schumanns »Frühlingssinfonie«

Bruch's famous violin concerto, first performed in Cologne at Pentecost 1868, and Robert Schumann's Symphony No. 1, which he himself called his "Spring Symphony," perfectly complement springtime. Both works are characterized by blissful and uplifting sounds of unmistakable genius.

NDR Chamber Music Concert with the Elphier-Quartett and Alan Gilbert

Alan Gilbert on the viola: together with the Elphier Quartet, the trained violinist and violist performs works by Schubert, Britten, Bruch and Schulhoff in the Elbphilharmonie’s Small Hall.

Kammerkonzert 4

Beethoven's Trio op. 11 was nicknamed the "Gassenhauer Trio" due to its popular variation theme. The program spans Bruch's clarinet trio pieces and Poulenc's Duo to saxophonist Daniel Schnyder's "Worlds Beyond", blending classical, avant-garde, and jazz. Four bassoons feature in Wynton Marsalis' composition, showcasing this rarely solo instrument.

With nearly 7500 concerts in more than 500 cities and 64 countries, the Bamberg Symphony regularly tours the USA, South America and Asia as cultural diplomats for Bavaria and all of Germany. Our guest appearances in Asia in particular have a long-standing tradition: the first trip to China took place in 1986, followed by a tour to Taiwan in 1990. In Japan, we have already played a total of 125 concerts on 15 tours. This year, we are travelling to Japan, Korea and Taiwan again, where in the spring of 2023 we celebrated sensational success in front of sold-out halls. However, as a travelling orchestra, we are particularly committed to minimising the environmental impact of our tours and guest performances. For this reason, our travel planning in the current season also includes several residencies with more than one concert in one place. In Taiwan and Korea, we will again stay a few days longer to present education projects on location. We are compensating for our carbon footprint with climate protection projects that have a local impact and a positive side effect on society and the environment. As we did in 2023, we will be supporting a reforestation project in Seoul.
