Karat 50

Elbphilharmonie, Großer Saal (Hamburg)

Claudius Dreilich (Vocals), Bernd Römer (Guitar), Martin Becker (Keyboard), Daniel Bätge (Bass), Heiko Jung (Drums)

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.

World The voices of Persia

Fri, Nov 15, 2024, 20:00

Philharmonie Berlin, Chamber Music Hall (Berlin)

Hossein Alizadeh & Hamavayan Ensemble (Ethno folk ensemble), Zohre Gholipour (Vocals), Parisa Pooladian (Rubab), Saba Alizadeh (Kamāncheh), Mehdi Emami (Vocals), Houshmand Ebadi (Ney), Ali Boustan (Setar), Hossein Alizadeh (Tar), Hossein Alizadeh (Composition), Behnam Samani (Daf), Behnam Samani (Tombak)

Hossein Alizadeh is a musical legend in his native Iran. He plays the Persian long-necked lute tār with unmatched virtuosity. Yet the musician is not a traditionalist. Though his playing is rooted in the traditional music of his country, his performances bring it into the here and now. For example, he has developed a new instrument from the traditional setar: the shourangiz, whose name means “to give passion”. With the two singers Zohre Gholipour and Mehdi Emami, we also hear two of Iran’s most important musical voices.

Tabakquartier, Halle 1 (Bremen)

Konstantia Gourzi, Hansjörg Albrecht, Carl-Philipp-Emanuel-Bach-Chor Hamburg

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.

Holy Voices – Three Faiths, One God

Sat, May 4, 2024, 19:30

Elbphilharmonie, Kleiner Saal (Hamburg)

Françoise Atlan (Vocals), Patrizia Bovi (Vocals), Fadia El-Hage (Vocals), Peppe Frana (Lute), Gabriele Miracle (Dulcimer), Gabriele Miracle (Percussion)

Be it Islam, Judaism or Christianity – none of the Abrahamic religions would be the same without music and song. And even though religious conflict keeps rocking the world to its core, the shared roots of these religions come through clearly in traditional sacred music. Three singers whose biographies couldn’t make them more fitting for the project invite the audience to join them for a fascinating musical journey of discovery through these cultures and religions. Patrizia Bovi has deep roots in the Italian music of the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. Fadia El-Hage grew up in Beirut and studied singing there and in Germany. Françoise Atlan was born in France with Jewish-Algerian roots, and has made the musical diversity of Sephardic Judaism in the Mediterranean region her repertoire. Their joint programme »Holy Voices« presents Muslim Sufi songs that call the faithful to prayer or that extol the full moon. From the Jewish tradition come excerpts from the Song of Solomon and songs from Morocco and the Balkans, where Spain’s Jewish population sought refuge after the expulsion of 1492. And Christianity is represented by the medieval compositions of Hildegard von Bingen, as well as songs from Corsica, Lebanon and Spain.

Choir of the Screaming Men & Bulgarian Voices Angelite

Sun, Mar 17, 2024, 20:00

Elbphilharmonie, Großer Saal (Hamburg)

Mieskuoro Huutajat, The Bulgarian Voices Angelite

Reflecting the creativity that has driven him to explore almost every genre as an artist, André Heller has invited very different groups to perform together in joint concerts at the Reflektor festival curated by him. The Finnish choir of screaming men »Mieskuoro Huutajat« and the Bulgarian women’s choir »Angelite« both count among the best-known vocal groups of their respective countries, and they have gained fame far beyond those borders. A choir that doesn’t sing? In the choir’s concerts, Mieskuoro Huutajat declaims, shouts and screams everything from national anthems to nursery rhymes and legislative texts. At times, the 30 men bellow in unisono, at other times in multiple rhythmically complex groups of voices, usually a cappella and sometimes using props such as megaphones or Alpine-horn-like flues. Petri Sirviö composes works for the choir and conducts it – with a drumstick. Bulgarian Voices Angelite take a slightly more conventional approach: the women’s choir presents Bulgaria’s unique singing tradition in colourful costumes. In addition to Bulgarian folk songs, the choir also performs contemporary commissioned works that build on that musical legacy. With music balanced between western harmony and eastern microtonal vibrations, the choir leaves all folk cliches far behind.

The Golden Voices of Gospel

Tue, Dec 9, 2025, 20:00

Laeiszhalle, Großer Saal (Hamburg)

The Golden Voices of Gospel

»Clap your hands...«, »stamp your feet...«, »shout hallelujah....« will be the order of the day when the audience is invited to join in and experience the music. The sometimes melancholy, sometimes rousingly spirited gospels, supported by the fantastic rhythm section, get under your skin like hardly any other music. And yet these are church songs as they are sung in the services of the Black Churches in the USA and the Caribbean. In their very personal and inimitable way, the Golden Voices of Gospel invite you on a journey through a century of spirituals, traditionals and gospels. This music expresses like no other the attitude to life, the pride and the devotion of the vast majority of the black population in the USA.

The Junge Deutsche Philharmonie turns 50!

Wed, Apr 2, 2025, 20:00

Philharmonie Berlin, Main Auditorium (Berlin)

Junge Deutsche Philharmonie (Orchestra), Roderick Cox (Conductor), RIAS Kammerchor (Choir)

Happy Birthday Junge Deutsche Philharmonie! Germany's best music students have been playing together in this orchestra for 50 years – in preparation for a career in a professional orchestra. What characterises its members? A high level of technical proficiency, an irrepressible desire to make music together, and a passion for the music of our time. These qualities are also reflected in this programme – with the spherical tones of Missy Mazzoli's Sinfonia (for Orbiting Spheres), the labyrinthine sound structures of Luciano Berio's Sinfonia for eight voices and orchestra and the rhythmic energy of Igor Stravinsky's Le Sacre du printemps. Roderick Cox conducts.
