BOULEZ ENSEMBLE & MATTHIAS PINTSCHER

Pintscher Matthias (Conductor), Boulez Ensemble (Ensemble)
A few days before Pierre Boulez’s 100th birthday, Matthias Pintscher and the Boulez Ensemble celebrate the composer, who passed away in 2016, with a perfor­ mance of sur Incises, his last major ensemble work. The program also includes Debussy’s Sonata for Flute, Viola, and Harp as well as Pintscher’s own beyond II (bridge over troubled water). Scored for the same combina­ tion of three instruments, it received its premiere as part of the digital Festival of New Music in the summer of 2020 and is now heard live at the Pierre Boulez Saal for the first time.

WEST-EASTERN DIVAN ENSEMBLE

Fri, Jun 13, 2025, 19:30
West-Eastern Divan Ensemble (Ensemble), Barenboim Michael (Violin), Barenboim Michael (Musical Director)
The genesis of Pierre Boulez’s only string quartet Livre pour quatuor—begun by the composer in the late 1940s and left unfinished at the time of his death—resembles a veritable never­ending story. In 2018, Philippe Manoury, one of today’s leading French composers and a close artistic associate of Boulez, completed the fragment of the fourth movement based on the extant sketches. The West-Eastern Divan Ensemble per­forms Manoury’s version, which had its world premiere at the Pierre Boulez Saal, juxtaposing it with Mozart’s Clarinet Quintet and Schubert’s late String Quintet.

“Fold by fold”—pli selon pli—Pierre Boulez reveals a portrait of the poet Stéphane Mallarmé, arguably the most important literary influence on his music, in his eponymous work for soprano and orchestra. Michael Wendeberg, who worked closely with Boulez as pianist of the Ensemble intercontemporain, conducts excerpts from the composer’s most expansive score, in the piece’s Pierre Boulez Saal premiere. The program also includes the 1965 ensemble work Éclat as well as compositions by Maurice Ravel and Austrian composer Thomas Wally, born in 1981.

Many a leading artist’s career might have turned out differently if it had not been for the Young Classical Artists Trust. “Without YCAT I’d probably still be wondering whether or not I should be a singer,” says Ian Bostridge. Since 1984, the British organization has supported rising young artists embarking on an international career by providing opportunities to perform as well as assistance with management and marketing. For its 40th anniversary, current and former participants gather at the Pierre Boulez Saal to present a program of large-scale chamber works by Franz Schubert and Samuel Coleridge-Taylor as well as a new composition by current YCAT Composer Fellow James B. Wilson.

STAATSKAPELLE BERLIN & FINNEGAN DOWNIE DEAR

Dear Finnegan Downie (Conductor), Schaechter Dalia (Recitation), Queiroz Adriane (Soprano), Skrycka Natalia (Alto), Hwang Junho (Tenor), Pachon Carles (Bariton), Hamel Friedrich (Bass), Staatskapelle Berlin (Orchestra)
From January 2025, the Staatsoper Unter den Linden will present György Kurtág’s only opera Fin de partie, based on Samuel Beckett’s Endgame. During the run of performances, the Staatskapelle and a group of vocal soloists bring Kurtág’s 1990 Beckett homage What Is the Word to the Pierre Boulez Saal, continuing the annual tradition of the orchestra’s guest concerts. Kurtág’s fascinating score is framed by works of Béla Bartók and Franz Schubert. Young British conductor Finnegan Downie Dear, who led the Staatskapelle’s previous Pierre Boulez Saal appearance, returns to the podium. Presented by the Staatsoper Unter den Linden in cooperation with the Pierre Boulez Saal. Tickets are available exclusively from the Staatsoper Unter den Linden: staatsoper-berlin.de

Ensemble Resonanz

Mon, Dec 16, 2024, 20:00
Laeiszhalle, Großer Saal (Hamburg)
Ensemble Resonanz, Hanna Herfurtner (Soprano), Anne Bierwirth (Mezzo-Soprano), Mirko Ludwig (Tenor), Simon Schnorr (Bass), Johannes Öllinger (Electric Guitar), Markus Schwind (Trumpet), Michael Petermann (Vintage keyboards)
Why would an ensemble that made its name performing rarities from early and contemporary music then turn to the most successful oratorio of the Baroque? Ensemble Resonanz would presumably answer, »Christmas without the Christmas Oratorio is only half the story. As often as you may have heard or played the piece, you still want to hear or play it again.« The ensemble has been performing its own version of Bach’s Christmas classic for six years now – pared down and with unconventional instrumentation, a little like a concert at home for friends. The concert hall becomes a sitting room, the musicians become a choir, and the work becomes chamber music with Baroque violas, electric guitar and vintage keyboards.

GURDJIEFF ENSEMBLE

Sun, Dec 8, 2024, 16:00
Gurdjieff Ensemble (Ensemble)
In the early 20th century, Armenian philosopher, mystic, and composer George Gurdjieff traveled widely in the Caucasus, Middle East, Northern Africa, and Asia. He later transformed his experiences of the diverse local musical traditions he encountered into numerous compositions, most of which have only been accessible in piano transcriptions. Led by artistic director Levon Eskenian, the Gurdjieff Ensemble performs these works in new arrangements for traditional instruments, while also highlighting the centuries-old tradition of Armenian ashughs (bards) such as Jivani, Baghdasar Dbir, and Sayat-Nova.
