Artist in Residence Seong-Jin Cho and the Karajan Academy

Date & Time
Sun, Jan 19, 2025, 20:00
Our Artist in Residence Seong-Jin Cho made his name by winning the legendary Chopin Competition; since then, Chopin’s music has been particularly close to his heart. In this concert with the Karajan Academy, the pianist is the soloist for a chamber music version of Chopin's Piano Concerto No. 1: a work in which gives Seong-Jin Cho scope for both technical brilliance and poetic creativity. Beethoven's cheerful wind quintet and the mysterious piece My Shadow by Korean composer Donghoon Shin will complete the programme.

Artist in Residence: Seong-Jin Cho plays Shostakovich

Sun, Oct 6, 2024, 19:00
Philharmonie Berlin, Main Auditorium (Berlin)
Berliner Philharmoniker (Orchestra), Paavo Järvi (Conductor), Seong-Jin Cho (Piano), Guillaume Jehl (Trumpet)
Seong-Jin Cho, the Berliner Philharmoniker’s Artist in Residence for the 2024/25 season, is considered a poet at the piano, but also has a penchant for black humour. This is demonstrated not least by the work he has chosen for this programme: Dmitri Shostakovich’s Concerto for Piano and Trumpet, which brilliantly parodies the piano concerto genre. Anton Bruckner’s First Symphony provides a counterpart to this with its tonal opulence, solemnity and spirituality. The concert is conducted by Estonian Paavo Järvi, who opens the evening with an overture by compatriot Veljo Tormis.

Artist in Residence Seong-Jin Cho and members of the Berliner Philharmoniker

Mon, Dec 9, 2024, 20:00
Philharmonie Berlin, Chamber Music Hall (Berlin)
Seong-Jin Cho (Piano), Marlene Ito (Violin), Simon Roturier (Violin), Sebastian Krunnies (Viola), Solène Kermarrec (Cello), Wenzel Fuchs (Clarinet), Stefan Dohr (French horn)
Artist in Residence Seong-Jin Cho and members of the Berliner Philharmoniker unfold a panorama of Hungarian musical styles in this concert. Johannes Brahms was often inspired by Hungarian music in his works, for instance in the finale of his clarinet trio, which oscillates between deep emotion and serenity. The trio for violin, horn and piano, which the Hungarian György Ligeti wrote in homage to Brahms, is characterised by folk rhythms. The piano quintet by the young Béla Bartók, who would go on to revolutionise Hungarian music, is still very much rooted in the Romantic period. But even here – according to Seong-Jin Cho – you can sense “Bartók's musical future”.

23-year-old Aurel Dawidiuk is a genuine multi-talent: an organist, a pianist and a conductor. He’s been awarded a variety of musical prizes and in 2022 won the German Music Competition in the organ category. For his debut at the Berlin Philharmonie he has invited musical friends from the Karajan Academy. The highlight of their programme will be a performance of Paul Hindemith’s Kammermusik No. 7, whose festive radiance and grandiose finale make it one of the composer’s most brilliant works.

Midsummer Night’s Dreams with Marc Minkowski and the Karajan Academy

Tue, Apr 23, 2024, 20:00
Philharmonie Berlin, Chamber Music Hall (Berlin)
Karajan-Akademie der Berliner Philharmoniker (Orchestra), and Guests (Orchestra), Karajan-Akademie der Berliner Philharmoniker (Ensemble), Marc Minkowski (Conductor), Alina Wunderlin (Soprano), Miriam Albano (Mezzo-Soprano), RIAS Kammerchor (Choir)
Almost everyone knows the festive Wedding March from Mendelssohn’s music to A Midsummer Night’s Dream and Schubert’s lilting entr’acte to Act III of Rosamunde. The complete incidental music to these plays, however, is unjustly neglected. Their sequences of instrumental pieces, dance, vocal and choral movements lead us into the magical worlds of sprites and knights. Marc Minkowski, directing the RIAS Kammerchor and the Karajan Academy, presents a selection of the most beautiful pieces from both works.

From Bach to Gulda: Ivan Repušić and the Karajan Academy

Sat, Nov 9, 2024, 19:00
Philharmonie Berlin, Chamber Music Hall (Berlin)
Karajan-Akademie der Berliner Philharmoniker (Orchestra), Ivan Repušić (Conductor), Tatu Akseli Kauppinen (Cello)
Ivan Repušić, chief conductor of the Munich Radio Orchestra, is celebrated for his emotional, gripping style. This season, he directs the Karajan Academy for the first time, presenting a varied programme with the young musicians. An early classical symphony by JS Bach’s son Johann Christian meets the Notturno by the young Arnold Schönberg, a work still very much in the late Romantic tradition. Pierre Boulez mourns the death of Igor Stravinsky in his Mémoriale, while Friedrich Gulda’s Cello Concerto and Darius Milhaud's Le Boeuf sur le toit are full of musical humour.
