Artist in Residence: Seong-Jin Cho plays Shostakovich

Date & Time

Fri, Oct 4, 2024, 20:00

Venue

Philharmonie Berlin, Main Auditorium (Berlin)

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

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”.

Artist in Residence Seong-Jin Cho and the Karajan Academy

Sun, Jan 19, 2025, 20:00

Philharmonie Berlin, Chamber Music Hall (Berlin)

Karajan-Akademie der Berliner Philharmoniker (Ensemble), Seong-Jin Cho (Piano)

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.
