Mozart in Amerika

Thu, Feb 6, 2025, 19:00
Martin Fröst (Clarinet), Riccardo Minasi (Conductor)
When Riccardo Minasi conducts Mozart, the symphony orchestra becomes a true dramatist and the concert podium an unleashed opera stage. Two Americans also ensure that the classical balance is powerfully and thrillingly mixed up. Aaron Copland wrote his clarinet concerto for jazz clarinetist Benny Goodman, and William Grant Still was the first African American to have his works performed by a leading orchestra like the New York Philharmonic. Conductor Minasi juxtaposes these with the primal musical forces of 20th-century America by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.

James Gaffigan & Janine Jansen

Thu, Mar 27, 2025, 20:00
James Gaffigan (Conductor), Janine Jansen (Violin), Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks
The tone colors of the strings in William Grant Still’s Mother and Child evoke the lovely flower meadows and the cradling one associates with the tender bonds between mother and child. Dvořák’s American Suite: raw, promising, yearning, impetuous, exciting – a musical depiction of the New World. Bernstein’s Serenade (after Plato’s Symposium) begins with a sighing, exquisitely flowing solo violin line, and with the addition of strings, harp, and percussion, turns into an unconventional, raging mix of styles with a “hint of jazz” at the end. The solo part is entrusted to the exceptional violinist Janine Jansen. Gershwin’s portrait of the French rush hour in An American in Paris concludes the concert. James Gaffigan will be conducting the BRSO for the third time in this very special program, which also promises to be incredibly exciting.
