Daniel Hope / Zürcher Kammerorchester

Daniel Hope & AIR Ensemble

A melodic voice singing longing notes about the beauty of Ireland or the pub classic that won’t let your legs stand still – this is Ireland as it lives and breathes! Irish music has a long history, although it has only enjoyed worldwide popularity in the last hundred years. Daniel Hope and his AIR Ensemble, consisting of internationally renowned musicians with whom he has already toured the world with »AIR – A Baroque Journey«, are now embarking on a journey into the rich musical world of Ireland and exploring the myths and legends of the island and its music. For Daniel Hope, this musical journey is closely linked to his family history: His great-grandfather Daniel McKenna set off from Ireland over 100 years ago to make his fortune in the world. For Hope, who still holds an Irish passport as well as a German one, this musical discovery is also a journey to himself.

Daniel Hope : Chamber orchestra

Weihnachten mit Daniel Hope

Daniel Hope, a renowned violinist and entertainer, welcomes guests to the Philharmonie Essen for "A Very Warm Welcome." Joined by the Belgrade Chamber Orchestra and singers Lisa Wittig and Bettina Ranch, he'll present a festive program featuring music from Bach to Humperdinck, alongside arrangements of international Christmas classics.

Kammerorchester

No conductor leads this chamber orchestra. Two experienced and sought-after chamber musicians, soloists, and Eisler professors, violinist Ulf Wallin and cellist Claudio Bohórquez, rehearse the concert program alongside the students. In the annual "Play&Lead Concerts" at the Konzerthaus Berlin, teachers and the ensemble meticulously work on highly demanding pieces. This offers valuable work experience for young instrumental students.

Konzerthaus Kammerorchester

Not only as a big symphonic ensemble, but also as the Konzerthaus Chamber Orchestra our Konzerthausorchester musicians come together several times each season – this time under the direction of of our First Concertmaster Suyoen Kim. They choose the pieces and instrumentation for their concerts themselves.

Konzerthaus Kammerorchester

Our musicians come together several times each season not only in large symphonic formations, but also as the Konzerthaus Chamber Orchestra - this time led by our first concertmaster Sayako Kusaka, who is also the ensemble's artistic director. They choose the pieces for their concerts themselves. A string quartet with „sonata“ in its nickname? To avoid any confusion: Tolstoy's story „The Kreutzer Sonata“, which is about Beethoven's famous violin sonata, inspired Leoš Janáček to write his first string quartet in 1923. Apparently the literature had a very inspiring effect, as he completed it within an astonishing nine days. Both works, Janáček's quartet and Beethoven's sonata, can also be heard in this larger instrumentation after Dvořák's short lyrical „Nachtstück“ for string orchestra.

Kammerorchester Basel

The Basel Chamber Orchestra, known for its exceptional concert experiences, returns to Freiburg with a program featuring Sibelius' Andante festivo, Brahms' Symphony No. 3, and Beethoven's Piano Concerto No. 3. Yulianna Avdeeva, winner of the 2010 Warsaw Chopin Competition, makes her Freiburg debut performing Beethoven's concerto. Conducted by Marc Minkowski, the orchestra's performance promises a unique blend of captivating ensemble sound and individual artistry.

Devastation, Romance and Hope

Philippa Mo and Albert Lau are giving several concerts in northern Germany, including in Bremen and Oldenburg. This concert in Hamburg is something special, as the proceeds from ticket sales are dedicated to the project »Ein Märchen für Nambibia«, which was initiated by musicians from the Rundfunk-Sinfonieorchester Berlin and Albert Lau.
