Dietmar Bär / Stefan Weinzierl

Date & Time
Sat, Dec 20, 2025, 19:00
In »Nicht nur zur Weihnachtszeit« (1952), Heinrich Böll satirises the German post-war mentality and the irrefutable Christmas routine. Packed into a humorous narrative, he subtly criticises the lack of reappraisal in the early post-war years. Actor Dietmar Bär plays the witty narrator, while classical percussionist and sound artist Stefan Weinzierl plays typical, atypical Christmas melodies with his unusual instruments.

NDR Jugendsinfonieorchester / Stefan Geiger

Sun, Mar 16, 2025, 11:00
Elbphilharmonie, Großer Saal (Hamburg)
NDR Jugendsinfonieorchester, Stefan Geiger (Conductor)
Johannes Brahms’ Fourth Symphony and Stravinsky’s suite from »The Firebird« are among the masterpieces of the orchestral literature – and also among the favourites of the members of the NDR Jugendsinfonieorchester (NDR Youth Symphony Orchestra). The enchanting story of »The Firebird« utilises all of the orchestra’s sound-painting possibilities; Brahms’ Fourth Symphony sank »deeper and deeper into the soul« of the orchestra at the Berlin premiere, as the violinist Joseph Joachim wrote to his musician friend Johannes Brahms. We cordially invite you to an encounter with these two »orchestra favourites«.

NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchestra / Stefan Asbury

Fri, May 17, 2024, 20:00
Elbphilharmonie, Großer Saal (Hamburg)
NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchester, Stefan Asbury (Conductor), Stepan Simonian (Piano), Moisés Santos Bueno (Drums)
Born in Teheran, Sara Abazari is one of today’s leading voices in her country’s contemporary music. Her two latest compositions, which were recently premiered in the Berlin Philharmonie and the Konzerthaus, are directly connected with the movement »Woman, Life, Freedom« and the prominent role of women in Iran. »in solidum« is a piece that was premiered in its first version in autumn 2023; the new, large-scale orchestral work by the composer, who studied in Cologne and Vienna, is now being performed by the NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchestra. With Galina Ustwolskaja (1919-2006), the NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchestra preesents one of the 20th century’s most uncompromising composers after the interval. Ms Ustwolskaja gained a reputation for her visionary and always highly unusual combinations of instruments: »Dies irae« is scored for eight double basses, piano and a large, resonant wooden block, which the percussionist beats with enigmatic hammer blows. Performances of the work produce the picture, precisely calculated by the composer, of an archaic ritual that evokes a set of metaphors between death, protest and apotheosis: this is a »breakthrough piece«, a musical onslaught on all conventional boundaries, and indisputably Ustwolskaja’s most famous work. The evening opens with Edgar Varèse’s virtuoso piece »Intégrales« for wind instruments and percussion, one of the founding documents of 20th century music. Written for the avant-garde »International Composers’ Guild«, which was founded in 1921 by Carlos Salzedo and Varèse himself, »Intégrales« was given its first performance in March 1925 in New York’s Aeolian Hall.

Watch This Space | Stefan Schilli and the BRSO Academy

Wed, Jan 22, 2025, 19:00
Technikum (München)
Stefan Schilli (Oboe), Members of the BRSO academy
BRSO solo oboist Stefan Schilli has been a Friend of the Academy for many years and is wholeheartedly committed to the Academy’s up-and-coming professional musicians. With his program for this Watch-This-Space concert, he not only wants to support the scholarship recipients, but also specifically challenge them – for instance with Mozart’s great serenade for winds, the Gran Partita, whose Adagio is also one of the most beautiful that Mozart ever wrote. Ligeti himself considered the Ten Pieces for Wind Quintet to be “miniature concertos” in which the individual instrumentalists are showcased in particularly striking ways. This is also the case with Bach, where there is an equal juxtaposition of musical lines with different timbres and characteristics.
