»As artists, we can show our love with music.« These words were spoken by Sir Simon Rattle – and our audience is in for a treat as the collaboration between the top Bavarian orchestras continues. This time the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra will be conducted in our concert hall by its new Chief Conductor, whose personal style is characterised by charisma and complete humanity – and who likens a harmonious relationship between conductor and orchestra to a good marriage. With our Munich colleagues, it was certainly love at first sight. In this concert by the Bavarian ensemble, the Bamberg audience is treated to a programme of Sir Simon Rattle’s choice. It bears his typical signature, as it includes a broad spectrum of rarely heard repertoire.For the wide-ranging programme, the likeable star conductor will be joined on the podium by several of his artist friends as soloists – including the famous piano duo Katia and Marielle Labèque. We are in for an evening full of excitement with enchanting pieces that will captivate the ears and touch the heart: The list includes an irresistible choice of vivacious works written by Manuel de Falla, Igor Stravinsky, Osvaldo Golijov and Leonard Bernstein. And one thing is clear from this contrasting programme of classical music, jazz, tango, and other tunes from other regions: how valuable the unifying power of music is for life - in the words of Sir Simon Rattle, who, when asked what he wanted to give the audience as a conductor, said: »That music shows us what it means to be human. That we are not alone, that someone feels the same way.«
