Chamber Concert

Sat, Mar 19, 2022, 20:00

Max Joseph Saal (München)

Julie Catherine Eggli (Mezzo-Soprano), Münchner Streichquartett, Stephan Hoever (Violin), Korbinian Altenberger (Violin), Mathias Schessl (Viola), Jan Mischlich (Cello)

“Sorrow always – upward glance – celestial dew – recollection”: thus the words that Anton Webern set in his aphoristically short work for soprano and string quartet. They also stand as a motto for this unusual and cleverly assembled programme. The works in the first section come from completely different eras and interlock like meditations – devout, contemplative, ravishingly beautiful, yet pervaded by a “sweet” tone of sorrow. Schubert’s G major Quartet also directs its gaze into unknown dimensions. Few works of chamber music sustain the combination of sorrow and supplication with such existential force and urgency as this unique visionary creation from the year 1826.

Chamber Concert

Sat, May 11, 2024, 20:00

Max Joseph Saal (München)

Serafina Starke (Soprano), Korbinian Altenberger (Violin), Lorenz Chen (Violin), Benedict Hames (Viola), Jaka Stadler (Cello)

For a musician, the fugue is inextricably linked with Bach, who raised the fugue to dizzying stylistic heights. The Latin fuga means “flight” – in other words, a theme “flees” from one voice to another and is repeated at different pitches. One of the most vital, long-lasting, and eternally modern musical forms of the past and present can be experienced in this chamber concert: starting with Mozart, who savored all the techniques he discovered in Bach, continuing with Beethoven, who replaced what contemporary critics considered the incomprehensible fugue of the last movement of his Quartet op. 130 with a more accessible finale, and finally ending with Widmann, in whose work soprano Serafina Starke runs away from the fugue – or is it the other way around?

Chamber Concert

Sat, Jun 29, 2024, 20:00

Max Joseph Saal (München)

Lydia Teuscher (Soprano), Lukas Maria Kuen (Piano), Korbinian Altenberger (Violin), Lorenz Chen (Violin), Giovanni Menna (Viola), Samuel Lutzker (Cello)

It is a popular romantic theme: the fine line between genius and madness. In Beethoven’s case, all one needs to do is look at the portrait of the agitated artist with tangled hair and crazy eyes, who jots his notes down on paper in a manic creative frenzy and in the face of impending deafness. Wolf was hospitalized twice – and died in the clinic. When Schumann was admitted to Endenich, “melancholy with delusion” was noted as a diagnosis in the admission book. And the Italian Renaissance prince Carlo Gesualdo was not only a gifted composer, but very probably also a murderer. In the chromatic descent at the end of his madrigal, we seem to hear the agony of a guilty man tormented by remorse. The result? Insanely brilliant music!

Kind of Jazz I – Chamber Jazz

Wed, Jan 29, 2025, 19:30

Konserthuset Stockholm, The Grünewald Hall (Stockholm)

Warren Vaché (Cornett), Jan Lundgren (Piano), Jacob Fischer (Guitar), Thomas Fonnesbæk (Double bass)

Jan Lundgren is one of our foremost musicians, and with around fifty CDs and a range of projects and collaborations, he has consistently shown his ability to embrace tradition while always evolving. Each year, Jan Lundgren presents three concerts under the banner Kind of Jazz – unique meetings with invited artists and ensembles. Kind of Jazz 2025 marks the series’ seventh season.“The title Chamber Jazz signals an intimate way of making music together, and this time there will be no drums,” says Jan Lundgren. “For the first time, I’ll be working with American cornetist Warren Vaché, who is considered one of the greats today and one of the few still active who has played with legends like Benny Goodman. Warren’s roots are in the swing era of the 1940s, with early influences such as Roy Eldridge and Bobby Hackett. The Great American Songbook will be central, and we’ll definitely include something by Duke Ellington.”Joining Jan Lundgren and Warren Vaché are two of Denmark’s finest jazz musicians: guitarist Jacob Fischer – “we’ve played together in many settings since the 1990s; he’s a true musician’s musician,” and bassist Thomas Fonnesbæk, “arguably Denmark’s top bassist and a successor to the great Niels-Henning Ørsted Pedersen.”Note: The cornet is similar to the trumpet but is slightly more compact and has a warmer sound.

Stockholm Jazz Festival – A tribute to Georg Riedel

Welcome to a star-studded and poignant tribute to Georg Riedel, one of the greatest musicians and composers of Swedish jazz. Radiojazzgruppen’s Nisse Landgren hosts the evening and pianist Calle Bagge conducts a house band featuring elite members of the Swedish jazz scene, as well as vocalists including Nicolai Dunger and Sarah Riedel.With the passing on 25 February this year of jazz bassist, composer and arranger Georg Riedel at 90 years of age, one of the most versatile composers of Swedish music fell silent.Georg Riedel composed music for Astrid Lindgren’s films, as well as innovative jazz for Radiojazzgruppen and his own duos, trios and quartets. His oeuvre includes opera, orchestral works and music for films, ballet and church services. He is among the musicians who brought Swedish folk music to jazz stages. Jazz på Svenska (“Jazz in Swedish”), his album with Jan Johansson, is the most sold Swedish jazz album.To celebrate this doyen of jazz, Stockholm Jazz Festival presents a full evening at Stockholm Konserthuset, in which a wide selection of Riedel’s compositions will be performed by carefully selected artists – many of whom worked with the man himself over the past 20 years. This retrospective of Riedel’s work will link the golden age of the 1950s to contemporary jazz of the 2020s.“Georg Riedel’s contribution is utterly massive, and so is the empty space he has left behind. But his music will live on, now and forever. It therefore feels particularly gratifying to open this year’s jazz festival with an evening that pays tribute to him,” says Eric Birath, CEO of Stockholm Jazz Festival.Read more about Stockholm Jazz Festival (opens in a new window)

Chamber concert Ballhaus Wedding

Thu, Feb 22, 2024, 19:30

Ballhaus Wedding (Berlin)

Christine Lichtenberg (Vocals), Judith Simonis (Vocals), Enrico Palascino (Violin), Juliane Färber-Rambo (Violin), Lydia Rinecker (Viola), Romane Montoux-Mie (Cello)

The concert with members of the Rundfunk-Sinfonieorchester and the Rundfunkchor Berlin illuminates a fascinating section of Jewish music and Jewish culture in the 1920s in Berlin.Era of the 1920s in Berlin. Until the National Socialists seized power in 1933, Berlin was considered one of the most culturally exciting cities in the world for about a decade. Right in the centre: Kurt Weill, Bertolt Brecht and their Dreigroschenoper. But the Jewish cantors Arno Nadel, Mark Warschawski and Joseph Achron also wrote Berlin music history in an endearing way. Ballrooms have had a great time in Berlin. Without the plush dance halls, the Golden Twenties would probably not have become the cult brand that it is today, and which even had an impact on the founding years of radio. The RSB opens up two of Berlin’s lovingly maintained ballrooms for selected chamber concerts: the Ballhaus Wedding and the Ballhaus Neukölln, today’s “Heimathafen”.Both mark stations on an imaginary line between the orchestra’s two radio houses during its 100-year history: the Haus des Rundfunks in Charlottenburg and the Funkhaus Nalepastraße in Oberschöneweide.
