Symphonic finale

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

Schubert's Great Symphony

Fri, Sep 12, 2025, 10:45
Miguel Sepúlveda (Conductor), Malte Arkona (Moderator), Michael Kube (Conception), Dresdner Philharmonie
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, but also sad or cheerful - and in the end with a solemn triumph. Here you can immerse yourself in the world of orchestral sound. <br><br>Grades 7-10

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
