Christoph Sietzen | The Wave Quartet | Academy of Ancient Music

Date & Time
Sun, Sep 29, 2024, 16:00
Christoph Sietzen, a master of the marimba, has revolutionized the instrument with his virtuosity and stage presence. Debuting at the Salzburg Festival at 12, he inspires contemporary composers while also exploring early music, including playing the harpsichord. He combines these worlds with the Academy of Ancient Music, featuring a new piece by Giorgio Musolesi for percussion and baroque orchestra.

Chamber Concert of the Orchestra Academy

Sun, Oct 29, 2023, 17:00
Konzerthalle Bamberg, Joseph-Keilberth-Saal (Bamberg)
Members of the Joseph Keilberth Orchestra Academy, Members of the Bamberg Symphony
On this afternoon, when the new scholarship holders of our Joseph Keilberth Orchestra Academy perform chamber music together with musicians from our orchestra, it shows best how we make the young orchestral talents of tomorrow fit for the job: Listening to one another in a small ensemble is essential for the large community of the symphony orchestra. And what better way to learn than in concert? We can look forward to a colourful programme with masterpieces of chamber music literature. A surprise concert, as it were, because many scholarship holders have just been called into our orchestra, so that an exact programme can only be announced a few weeks before the concert. Looking forward to a »carte blanche« that will certainly not disappoint.

The Orchestra Academy run by the Hamburg Philharmonic State Orchestra is intended to prepare highly talented young instrumentalists for a career as a professional musician in a major international orchestra. The 15 academy members become a part of the Hamburg Philharmonic State Orchestra for two years. Their annual chamber music concert gives them the stage alone for the evening. They present their skills in the Recital Hall of the Elbphilharmonie, sometimes in classical formations and sometimes in more unusual groupings.

Turicum Quartet / Menuet of the witches

Thu, Oct 3, 2024, 19:30
Narodowej Orkiestry Symfonicznej Polskiego Radia, Chamber Hall (Katowice)
Turicum Quartet
Joseph Haydn has been called “Papa Haydn”, both affectionately and pejoratively. Meanwhile, he was a composer whose mastery and unpredictability went hand in hand. Let us appreciate the emotional glimmering of the music, its surprising turns, sense of humour (the “menuet of the witches” quite unlike the court dance), or the finale inspired by music of the Romani people living in the borderlands of Austria and Hungary, where the composer spent most of his life. The spirit of Austria-Hungary is also referenced – already after the fall of the dual monarchy – in the modernist parodying miniatures by Erwin Schulhoff, who enhanced them with motifs of his native Czechia. Even though Szymanowski knew the capital of Austria-Hungary, he did not like it; his String Quartet No. 1 represents a different direction, as Jarosław Iwaszkiewicz wrote: “Never before has any of his works breathed such a scorching air of the South; not the heat of the Sicilian south or the mourning of the Greek heat, in which Pan’s flute kills hearts – but the juicy and ripe heat which smells like the crops of Ukraine.” Adam Suprynowicz Concert duration: approximately 60 minutes

Eliot Quartet / Music with a sense of humor

Thu, Jun 12, 2025, 19:30
Narodowej Orkiestry Symfonicznej Polskiego Radia, Chamber Hall (Katowice)
Eliot Quartett, Maryana Osipova (Violin), Alexander Sachs (Violin), Dmitry Hahalin (Viola), Michael Preuß (Cello)
Haydn wrote the Quartet in C major op. 54 No. 2, both virtuosic and exceptionally deep in its artistry, with Johann Tost, a violinist of the Esterhazy orchestra he was leading, in mind. Much to his surprise, he later learnt that the musician had sold the work to the publisher Seiber, keeping all money for himself. What was more, the quartet was published with changes unauthorised by Haydn. In his Quartet No. 3, Brahms obviously references the Viennese classic, creating a work of classical subjectivity, with all-encompassing sense of humour, and a tiny bit of the romantic emotionality in the slow movement, reminding us clearly of that being a completely different era already. Krzysztof Meyer, in turn, freely admits that the composition Au-delà d’une absence is a quartet in the style of his teacher, Dmitri Shostakovich. It is an attempt at continuing the Russian composer’s unfinished plan of writing 24 string quartets in all keys. An interesting and successful attempt, let us add. Adam SuprynowiczConcert duration (intermission included): approximately 100 minutes

Chamber Concert of the Joseph Keilberth Orchestra Academy

Sun, Nov 10, 2024, 17:00
Harmonie (Bamberg)
Members of the Joseph Keilberth Orchestra Academy
When the young fellows of our Joseph Keilberth Orchestra Academy play chamber music together with musicians from our orchestra on this afternoon, it will be the best example of how we prepare the young orchestra musicians of tomorrow for the job: Listening to each other in a small ensemble is essential for the large community of the symphony orchestra. And what could be a better way to learn than performing? In other words, we can look forward to a colourful programme of great works from the chamber music literature. A surprise concert, so to speak, as some of the scholarship recipients have only just been appointed to our orchestra, meaning that an exact programme can only be announced a few weeks before the concert. We are looking forward to a »carte blanche« that will certainly not disappoint.

Philharmonic chamber music: the fascination of the clarinet

Sun, Sep 15, 2024, 17:00
Philharmonie Berlin, Chamber Music Hall (Berlin)
Harry Ward (Violin), Angelo de Leo (Violin), Tobias Reifland (Viola), Solène Kermarrec (Cello), Andraž Golob (Clarinet)
The music world owes a great debt of gratitude to clarinettist Anton Stadler. After all, he inspired Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart to write a clarinet quintet which, with its yearning melodies, is one of the most beautiful works of chamber music. In turn, our Composer in Residence Wolfgang Rihm, who died in July , wrote his Four Studies for a clarinet quintet for the clarinettist and composer Jörg Widmann. According to Widmann, Rihm “understood and sensed the essence of our marvellous instrument like very few others”. Andraž Golob, bass clarinettist with the Berliner Philharmoniker since 2021, will present the two works together with colleagues.
