Schubert's Great Symphony

Date & Time
Fri, Sep 12, 2025, 10:45
A symphony is always a large piece of music - and a lot of work for the orchestra. But if he also calls the piece "Great Symphony," how long does it actually last? And: What secret lies behind the horn calls at the beginning? And what is a "harmonic series"? But don't worry! Boredom is guaranteed not to arise at this concert. Because Franz Schubert tells a story with his composition that can only be told with music: mysterious, dramatic,... Read full text

Fantastic Symphony

Fri, Mar 20, 2026, 10:45
Kulturpalast Dresden, Konzertsaal (Dresden)
Anja Bihlmaier (Conductor), Malte Arkona (Moderator), Magdalena Brouwer (Moderator), Michael Kube (Concept), Dresdner Philharmonie
A music that doesn't need any explanation, that one understands all by itself? That's what the French composer Hector Berlioz wanted when he wrote his "Symphonie Fantastique." He was heartbroken and composed his experiences directly into the music. In fact, while listening, we can imagine someone falling in love, experiencing happiness with their beloved woman, and how love fails. But of course, there are still some open questions - how does Berlioz manage to create so many different timbres? What role do the individual instruments play? Malte sets out to find answers for you...<br><br>Grades 7-10

Symphonic finale

Fri, Jan 31, 2025, 10:45
Kulturpalast Dresden, Konzertsaal (Dresden)
Tabita Berglund (Conductor), Malte Arkona (Presenter), Franziska Vorberger (Concept), Dresdner Philharmonie
Saint Petersburg, October 28, 1893. Nine days before his death, Peter Tchaikovsky conducts the premiere of his Sixth Symphony. He refers to it as a "program symphony" - with a secret program, that is top secret: "It is of a nature that it will remain a mystery for everyone! The work progressed so passionately, so quickly, that in less than four days I had the first movement completely finished and the other movements were already clear in my mind!" As if he had foreseen that he did not have much time left for composing. This symphony, with the nickname "Pathétique," is a truly dramatic, tragic, gripping, very passionate masterpiece - peculiar and unique. Grade levels: 7-10

SLAM SYMPHONY

Thu, Nov 16, 2023, 20:00
Konzerthalle Bamberg, Joseph-Keilberth-Saal (Bamberg)
Christian Ritter (Presenter), Dominique Macri (Poetry Slam), Wehwalt Koslovsky (Poetry Slam), Yannik Noah Ambrusits (Poetry Slam), Aivis Greters (Conductor)
The »Slam Symphony« is now in its ninth round in Bamberg and, as always, three award-winning poetry slammers will compete against each other to win the audience prize before the young Latvian conductor Aivis Greters performs the symphonic work. This time we will focus on Berlioz, a man about whom it was said that »despite all the eccentricity his compositions exude, he is a peculiar man, if only because he is driven by a burning, enthusiastic love for the arts, because he has blazed his own trail, and – because he is a character«. Bearing this year‘s motto in mind, his legendary »Symphonie fantastique« is a must: in 1830, the romantic fiery-head had a »fixed idea« that left its mark when it comes to setting states of the soul in music. At that time, the very young composer was in love with an actress unattainable to him. And so he composed these »Episodes from the Life of an Artist«, which of course was himself: the tale of a consuming passion, of hell, opium and madness. The almost obsessively adored one is both a wishful and distorted image in one and, in the »Idée fixe«, almost like a nightmare, always present – because this leitmotif constantly throws his soul into turmoil. It will be exciting to hear which lyrics and words will come to the slammers‘ minds!
