Arthur & Lucas Jussen Youth Orchestra of Bahia Spirit of South America

Date & Time
Sun, Jun 1, 2025, 19:00
When Ricardo Castro conducts the Youth Orchestra of Bahia, one recalls the performances of the Simón Bolívar Orchestra under Gustavo Dudamel. Inspired by "El Sistema," Castro brought the Venezuelan music program to Brazil in 2007, creating NEOJIBA. The youth orchestra performs Latin American music worldwide, including Antônio Carlos Gomes's "Alvorada." The Dutch brothers Arthur and Lucas Jussen play "Nazareno." After Bernstein's dances from "West Side Story," there will be no stopping. A child-friendly introduction is available.

John Storgårds, Lucas & Arthur Jussen

Fri, Mar 14, 2025, 20:00
Konzerthalle Bamberg, Joseph-Keilberth-Saal (Bamberg)
John Storgårds (Conductor), Lucas Jussen (Piano), Arthur Jussen (Piano)
We are delighted that John Storgårds will be our guest again this season, as he is a highly valued member of our orchestra family. In addition to his regular appearances in Bamberg as a conductor, he was active in other roles last summer: as part of the jury in our Mahler Competition. As a conductor, he is known for his creative instinct in arranging programmes and will guide us through his rich selection of works with a keen sense of rhythm: We start with a waltz from a rarely heard gem – Shostakovich’s operetta, first performed in 1959, which revolves around everyday life in a Plattenbau housing estate. Poulenc could be a real »rascal« – as evidenced by his concerto written in 1932, despite some of its elegiac tones. We are pleased to welcome two young pianists, Lucas and Arthur Jussen, for their debut in Bamberg. The concert will also feature the Symphony No. 3 by Ukrainian composer Victoria Polevá: this haunting piece was written in 2003 and at times creates powerful sonic massifs, but is otherwise characterised by a melancholy tone. This austere mood suits our guest conductor wonderfully as a transition to the initially very pensive nature of Shostakovich’s Symphony No. 6 – which, however, then ends in a sarcastic circus frenzy. This is sure to be a moving experience, as the press raved about our cordial collaboration with the likeable Finn on the podium: »John Storgårds allowed for highly emotional, exuberant, free and joyful music-making, which the superb Bambergers savoured to the full. Everything was just right – a great moment!«

National Youth Orchestra of Germany / Wayne Marshall

Sat, Jan 11, 2025, 20:00
Elbphilharmonie, Großer Saal (Hamburg)
Bundesjugendorchester, Deutsch-Britische Chorakademie, Wayne Marshall (Piano), Wayne Marshall (Director)
Together with the German-British Choral Academy conducted by Wayne Marshall, Germany’s top young orchestral players present a programme dedicated to Britten, Holst and Gershwin – »very British«, in other words. The evening begins with Britten’s classic »The Young Person’s Guide to the Orchestra«, a piece that continues to playfully familiarise young audiences with the full range of orchestral instruments – and which also skilfully showcases the talent of the National Youth Orchestra of Germany this evening. Gershwin’s »Rhapsody in Blue« forms the centrepiece, and not altogether surprisingly: Gershwin is a speciality of Wayne Marshall’s. A classic that skilfully combines jazz elements with blues and concertante symphonic music and perhaps the composer’s most famous piece, which celebrated its world premiere in New York’s Aeolian Hall some 100 years ago.The evening ends with Gustav Holst’s orchestral suite »The Planets«, which is considered with good reason the forerunner of many a film score. The German-British Choir Academy participates as a cosmically enchanting distant choir.
