50 Jahre Mannheimer Streichquartett

50 Jahre Weltfrauentag

Must we still talk about it? About the role of women in society, at work and in music? Absolutely! Equality between men and women may be the law, but not yet the reality everywhere. There is hardly a better opportunity to talk about it than on International Women's Day. The Bremen Philharmonic dedicates itself to the topic with Konstantia Gourzi, one of today's most distinguished conductors and composers, who will discuss the self-image, importance, and visibility of women in music with director Guido Gärtner and conductor Hansjörg Albrecht.

Jubiläumskonzert – 70 Jahre

Die traditionsreiche Konzertreihe der Odenwaldstadt Erbach feiert Jubiläum und das hr-Sinfonieorchester Frankfurt feiert mit einem Kammerkonzert der Extra-Klasse mit. Großbesetzte Bläser-Kammermusik ist im Konzertleben rar. Bedauerlich besonders, wenn man an so eindrucksvolle Werke wie das »Parthia«-Oktett des jungen Beethoven und Dvořáks große Serenade denkt. Im »Jubiläumskonzert – 70 Jahre Konzerte in der Elfenbeinstadt Erbach« sind beide zu genießen – in all ihrer Klangfülle, Virtuosität und Pracht. Und dies mit den hervorragenden Musikerinnen und Musikern des hr-Sinfonieorchesters Frankfurt. Eine Gelegenheit die es nur selten gibt.

Karat 50

Of course, when musicians from Panta Rhei and the Horst Krüger Band came together in East Berlin in the 1970s, it was not foreseeable that this new band would one day take its place in the annals of German popular music history. On the other hand, it soon became clear that great things were being created here. And by the beginning of the 1980s at the latest - just five years after the band was founded - KARAT were one of the most important German bands – in both East and West.

75 Jahre Akkordeon-Orchester Hamburg-Eimsbüttel

The Akkordeon-Orchester Hamburg-Eimsbüttel von 1949 e.V. (AOE) is celebrating its 75th anniversary this year. The highlight of the anniversary year is the autumn concert in the Recital Hall of the Laeiszhalle. The AOE is looking forward to showing the audience how versatile this instrument is and offers a colourful mixture of pieces ranging from classical to pop. Conductor Stefanie Perl-Kindel will conduct the concert together with guest conductor, composer and arranger Tobias Dalhof. The ensemble of the Hamburg-Eimsbüttel Accordion Orchestra under the direction of Andreas Schulze will also be taking part, as it has done for decades.

50 Voices – unplugged

The renowned Hamburg choir 50 Voices has been enchanting audiences with its unique sound for 35 years. This winter, the motto is: Unplugged – pure with piano. The 50 singers are looking forward to presenting their varied repertoire of funk, soul, pop and gospel, including touching classics and rousing new arrangements, in the Recital Hall of the Laeiszhalle. Under the direction of Lerato Shadare, Andreas Paulsen and Christian Schicht, the audience can expect a concert in a class of its own: 50 Voices, an evening full of emotion, energy and pure singing.

25 Jahre Chorus Mind

Founded 25 years ago by 25 enthusiasts with good voices, the pop and gospel choir Chorus Mind from Norderstedt continues to delight its audiences today. The enthusiasm for singing can be read from the lips of the now 60 men and women with every song. As their name suggests, they all have choral singing in mind. The repertoire and the range of their artistic work are enormous. With their director Martin Ziemsky, they make old church gospels sound just as good and sing along as the latest pop rhythms. They already have 130 songs in their oeuvre, which choirmaster Ziemsky arranges anew and with powerful vocals for each song. He studied music and teaches at the music school. His passion for choral singing is the programme. The audience can expect a journey through time from the beginnings of the choir to his almost perfect performance of great choral music. A treat for everyone who loves music and enjoys singing along! The jazz and pop choir Fanjazztic comes from Lübeck. This excellent a cappella choir is directed by vocal coach David Hofmann and has won the state choir competition twice. A feast for the ears to mark the anniversary.
