Kenny Garrett and Sounds from the Ancestors

Thu, Aug 22, 2024, 20:00
Elbphilharmonie, Großer Saal (Hamburg)
Kenny Garrett (Saxophon), Melvis Santa (Vocals), Keith Brown (Piano), Jeremiah Edwards (Bass), Mark Whitfield Jr (Drums), Rudy Bird (Percussion)
His tone is unmistakable, his playing irrepressible and full of originality: it is none other than Kenny Garrett, one of the most important and versatile saxophonists of his generation, who rose to global fame as a member of Miles Davis’ band in the 1980s. Garrett then developed his own musical identity as a bandleader with albums like »African Exchange Student« and »Black Hope«. Black music culture has always been the starting point for his musical language, and he pays tribute to this in his latest project »Sounds from the Ancestors«. The saxophone legend marks his Elbphilharmonie debut with this exciting programme. »Sounds from the Ancestors« reflects the rich jazz, R&B and gospel history of Garrett’s home city of Detroit. Yet the album also has a contemporary and cosmopolitan feel – brought about especially by the inclusion of music from France, Cuba, Nigeria and Guadeloupe. »The concept,« he says, »was originally about drawing on some of the musical sounds I remember from my childhood – sounds that lift up the spirit, from songs like John Coltrane’s ›A Love Supreme‹, Aretha Franklin’s ›Amazing Grace‹, and Marvin Gaye’s ›What’s Going On‹, as well as the spiritual side of church. When I started thinking about it, I realised it was the spirit of my ancestors. Recognising the origins of the sounds we have incorporated into the aesthetic of Western music is extremely important.«

Summer Concert with Wagner

Thu, Aug 15, 2024, 19:00
Konserthuset Stockholm, The Main Hall (Stockholm)
Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra, Sergej Bolkhovets (Conductor), Jessica Elevant (Soprano), Susanne Rydén (Presenter)
Helena Munktell’s romantic Suite for large orchestra is a piece that the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra has never before performed in its entirety. The music was composed in 1895, and like the now often performed Bränningar, this suite was premiered in Monte Carlo in the late 19th century.Next, we hear the young Swedish soprano Jessica Elevant tackle Wagner's Wesendonck Songs – music filled with burning longing and celestial beauty. Jessica Elevant has recently gained attention for her participation in Daniel Nelson's opera Pride and Prejudice at the Norrlandsoperan. This marks her debut with the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra.Another debutant is Sergej Bolkhovets – as a conductor, that is. He has previously been a violin soloist with the orchestra. He leads the orchestra in Shostakovich's first symphony. Already in this symphony, Shostakovich demonstrates his phenomenal ability to handle the orchestra. It's personal music with humorous twists and great finesse. A remarkable symphonic debut by a 19-year-old composer.

Sir Donald with Debussy

Sat, Mar 28, 2026, 19:00
Kulturpalast Dresden, Konzertsaal (Dresden)
Sir Donald Runnicles (Conductor), Heidi Stober (Soprano), Karis Tucker (Mezzo-Soprano), Markus Eiche (Bariton), Thomas Ospital (Organ), MDR-Rundfunkchor, Dresdner Philharmonie
Claude Debussy's "Prélude à l'après-midi d'un faune" is a masterpiece of Impressionism. Inspired by a poem by the Symbolist Stéphane Mallarmé, the music paints the picture of a dreaming faun on a warm afternoon. With floating flute sounds and gentle harmonies, Debussy transports us into a world between dream and reality – a sensory delight in sound. Not many works of the 20th century are as naturally included in concert programs today as the music of Maurice Duruflé, who passed away in 1986. Particularly his sacred vocal music continues to enjoy enduring popularity, surely also due to its accessible musical language. Duruflé had little interest in breaking with tradition; in his 1947 Requiem, he engaged with the model of the two generations older Gabriel Fauré and let his enthusiasm for Gregorian chant run free. However, the work is not backward-looking: Contrary to the operatic settings of the Requiem in the 19th century, Duruflé focused less on the pains of the Last Judgment and more on the otherworldly redemption. Chief conductor Sir Donald Runnicles and the MDR Radio Choir infuse this work with a special intensity through their sensitivity and beauty of sound.

Monday at Last with soprano

Mon, Sep 23, 2024, 19:00
Konserthuset Stockholm, The Grünewald Hall (Stockholm)
Zilliacus Quartet, Kerstin Avemo (Soprano), Cecilia Zilliacus (Violin), Julia Kretz-Larsson (Violin), Ylvali Zilliacus (Viola)
In Monday at Last, violinist Cecilia Zilliacus and cellist Kati Raitinen invite guest artists to perform both newer and older music. This time, the internationally acclaimed Swedish soprano Kerstin Avemo is the Monday guest.Avemo has, among other things, received awards from Svenska Dagbladet and the Opera Magazine. She has performed on many of the world's great stages. A while back, she played all the female roles in The Tales of Hoffmann at the Gothenburg Opera, and on the same stage, she performed the only role in Schönberg's Pierrot Lunaire – a production for which she also contributed the idea, concept, and direction.Here, Avemo performs songs by Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy, which are brought into our time through Aribert Reimann's more modern adaptation. Schönberg wrote his passionate second string quartet during a marital crisis when his wife Mathilde temporarily left him for a young painter, Richard Gerstl. A soprano enters in the last two movements, and in the second movement, Schönberg quotes something that can be called a Viennese street song: Ach, du lieber Augustin. Mendelssohn and Schönberg frame Dvorák's idyllic Terzetto for two violins and viola.

An evening with Renée Fleming

Wed, Mar 5, 2025, 19:30
Royal Festival Hall (London)
Thomas Guggeis (Conductor), Renée Fleming (Soprano)
It always feels good to make music with friends – and when that friend is soprano Renée Fleming, you just know that something extra-special is on the cards. No introduction is required for one of the LPO’s best-loved guests, the American soprano whose personality lights up the world’s greatest stages and whose voice has been compared to double cream. ‘Unforgettable’ was how one critic described her 2022 Gala with the LPO, and tonight she returns to sing Richard Strauss’s radiant Four Last Songs. Music that never grows old, sung by one of the supreme voices of our time.
