Enigma variations – musical guessing games

Enigma variations – guessing games

At this concert, the RSB presents the Enigma Variations, the most frequently performed work by the English composer Edward Elgar. In this ingenious composition, Elgar describes people from his surroundings. During the concert, the musical character portraits can be diligently guessed. Is Elgar describing himself or a person he loves or rather someone whose piano playing he admires? Juri Tetzlaff leads through the concert in an entertaining and varied way.

Summer Concert – Enigma Variations

Mozart's 27 piano concertos are all musical highlights. Here's a unique opportunity to hear the only one he composed for two pianos and orchestra. An exquisite dialogue unfolds between the two soloists, who are the young and increasingly acclaimed pianists Sebastian Iivonen and John Nalan, both from Sweden.We also hear Edward Elgar's Enigma Variations, one of classical music's most popular works. Elgar had entertained his wife one evening with musical caricatures of people in their circle of friends, which grew into a series of variations for orchestra. "At first, I worked in a humorous spirit and continued seriously", Elgar recounted.Between Mozart and Elgar, we hear new American music inspired by jazz, spirituals, hip-hop, and rock, while rooted in the classical tradition with a distinct American flavour. Jessie Montgomery was raised in Manhattan's Lower East Side in New York, an environment that strongly influenced her music.Lina González-Granados from Colombia makes her debut with the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra in this concert. She is a super talent who has had great success in the Sir Georg Solti International Conducting Competition and has assisted Riccardo Muti at the Chicago Symphony Orchestra.

Musical Symbols

Tone, sound, melody, rhythm – where do they come from? Instrument, voice, orchestra, choir – why do they sound the way they do? What do dots, dashes and flourishes mean? How do you decipher the language of notes and scores? Music is full of mysteries to be explored and riddles to be solved.

A Musical Bunch

FeNek is occasionally visited by a musical gang. So what is it? Well, a gang is a group of people who like and respect each other and are harmonious, not only at concerts. Every meeting brings new musical adventures: together they figure out how to give each other a tune, tap out a rhythm or catch a harmony, while asking each other strange questions. ‘Do tigers eat irises?’ ‘Which is better to have: feathers or quills?’ ‘Who’s the mysterious pumpkin eater?’ As you may have guessed, this is quite a crazy bunch, but they’re also sensitive and attentive to lyrical, romantic sounds... played, for example, on the piano. If you’d like to join the musical gang, come to the concert at the Philharmonic, and don’t forget to bring along... a hand-made drum. Bring to the concert… a hand-made drum
