The Concertgebouw is right at the heart of Dutch music. That is why we love to welcome the best amateur orchestras and choirs of the Netherlands. To an amateur musician a performance at the Concertgebouw is always special, often marking the end of an extensive period of rehearsals.

World The voices of Persia

Fri, Nov 15, 2024, 20:00

Philharmonie Berlin, Chamber Music Hall (Berlin)

Hossein Alizadeh & Hamavayan Ensemble (Ethno folk ensemble), Zohre Gholipour (Vocals), Parisa Pooladian (Rubab), Saba Alizadeh (Kamāncheh), Mehdi Emami (Vocals), Houshmand Ebadi (Ney), Ali Boustan (Setar), Hossein Alizadeh (Tar), Hossein Alizadeh (Composition), Behnam Samani (Daf), Behnam Samani (Tombak)

Hossein Alizadeh is a musical legend in his native Iran. He plays the Persian long-necked lute tār with unmatched virtuosity. Yet the musician is not a traditionalist. Though his playing is rooted in the traditional music of his country, his performances bring it into the here and now. For example, he has developed a new instrument from the traditional setar: the shourangiz, whose name means “to give passion”. With the two singers Zohre Gholipour and Mehdi Emami, we also hear two of Iran’s most important musical voices.

Holy Voices – Three Faiths, One God

Sat, May 4, 2024, 19:30

Elbphilharmonie, Kleiner Saal (Hamburg)

Françoise Atlan (Vocals), Patrizia Bovi (Vocals), Fadia El-Hage (Vocals), Peppe Frana (Lute), Gabriele Miracle (Dulcimer), Gabriele Miracle (Percussion)

Be it Islam, Judaism or Christianity – none of the Abrahamic religions would be the same without music and song. And even though religious conflict keeps rocking the world to its core, the shared roots of these religions come through clearly in traditional sacred music. Three singers whose biographies couldn’t make them more fitting for the project invite the audience to join them for a fascinating musical journey of discovery through these cultures and religions. Patrizia Bovi has deep roots in the Italian music of the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. Fadia El-Hage grew up in Beirut and studied singing there and in Germany. Françoise Atlan was born in France with Jewish-Algerian roots, and has made the musical diversity of Sephardic Judaism in the Mediterranean region her repertoire. Their joint programme »Holy Voices« presents Muslim Sufi songs that call the faithful to prayer or that extol the full moon. From the Jewish tradition come excerpts from the Song of Solomon and songs from Morocco and the Balkans, where Spain’s Jewish population sought refuge after the expulsion of 1492. And Christianity is represented by the medieval compositions of Hildegard von Bingen, as well as songs from Corsica, Lebanon and Spain.

Choir of the Screaming Men & Bulgarian Voices Angelite

Sun, Mar 17, 2024, 20:00

Elbphilharmonie, Großer Saal (Hamburg)

Mieskuoro Huutajat, The Bulgarian Voices Angelite

Reflecting the creativity that has driven him to explore almost every genre as an artist, André Heller has invited very different groups to perform together in joint concerts at the Reflektor festival curated by him. The Finnish choir of screaming men »Mieskuoro Huutajat« and the Bulgarian women’s choir »Angelite« both count among the best-known vocal groups of their respective countries, and they have gained fame far beyond those borders. A choir that doesn’t sing? In the choir’s concerts, Mieskuoro Huutajat declaims, shouts and screams everything from national anthems to nursery rhymes and legislative texts. At times, the 30 men bellow in unisono, at other times in multiple rhythmically complex groups of voices, usually a cappella and sometimes using props such as megaphones or Alpine-horn-like flues. Petri Sirviö composes works for the choir and conducts it – with a drumstick. Bulgarian Voices Angelite take a slightly more conventional approach: the women’s choir presents Bulgaria’s unique singing tradition in colourful costumes. In addition to Bulgarian folk songs, the choir also performs contemporary commissioned works that build on that musical legacy. With music balanced between western harmony and eastern microtonal vibrations, the choir leaves all folk cliches far behind.

The Golden Voices of Gospel

Tue, Dec 9, 2025, 20:00

Laeiszhalle, Großer Saal (Hamburg)

The Golden Voices of Gospel

»Clap your hands...«, »stamp your feet...«, »shout hallelujah....« will be the order of the day when the audience is invited to join in and experience the music. The sometimes melancholy, sometimes rousingly spirited gospels, supported by the fantastic rhythm section, get under your skin like hardly any other music. And yet these are church songs as they are sung in the services of the Black Churches in the USA and the Caribbean. In their very personal and inimitable way, the Golden Voices of Gospel invite you on a journey through a century of spirituals, traditionals and gospels. This music expresses like no other the attitude to life, the pride and the devotion of the vast majority of the black population in the USA.

Diana Damrau & Nikolai Schukoff / NDR Radiophilharmonie / Dirk Kaftan

Sun, Apr 21, 2024, 20:00

Elbphilharmonie, Großer Saal (Hamburg)

Diana Damrau (Soprano), Nikolai Schukoff (Tenor), NDR Radiophilharmonie, Dirk Kaftan (Conductor)

»Art is not just beauty, art should move people as well,« says Diana Damrau. There can be no doubt that she does this to excellent effect: for years now, the celebrated soprano has been filling opera houses and concert halls all over the world with her radiant voice and a peerless intensity of expression. Yet the appealing Bavarian singer has no airs and graces, nor does she think in terms of musical pigeonholes. Good-humoured and completely authentic, she sings opera and sacred repertoire with the same verve as musicals and film songs. Discount for all under 30: Exclusively for this concert, anyone under 30 can book the REDticket. This means that even the best available seats only cost € 12. Proof of age must be shown when attending the concert, otherwise the difference to the original price will have to be paid. Diana Damrau and her colleague Nikolai Schukoff devote their Elbphilharmonie concert to the great operetta composers, from the »waltz king« Johann Strauss and Berlin native Paul Lincke to Emmerich Kálmán and Franz Lehár. An evening of lovely waltzes and other tunes that should move the audience’s hearts – and their feet as well.

Wagner: Die Walküre

Wed, May 1, 2024, 17:00

Elbphilharmonie, Großer Saal (Hamburg)

Dresdner Festspielorchester, Concerto Köln, Derek Welton (Wotan), Åsa Jäger (Brünnhilde), Sarah Wegener (Sieglinde), Maximilian Schmitt (Siegmund), Patrick Zielke (Hunding), Claude Eichenberger (Fricka), Natalie Karl (Helmwige), Chelsea Zurflüh (Gerhilde), Karola Schmid (Ortlinde), Ulrike Malotta (Waltraute), Ida Aldrian (Siegrune), Marie-Luise Dreßen (Roßweiße), Eva Vogel (Grimgerde), Jasmin Etminan (Schwertleite), Kent Nagano (Conductor)

Richard Wagner’s opera »Die Walküre« is a passionate exploration of big themes such as love and betrayal, loyalty and rebellion. The god Wotan wanted to rule through contracts rather than violence but, as a result of broken promises, becomes increasingly entangled in problems until blood begins to flow. Finding no solutions, Wotan finally cries: »One thing alone do I want: the end!« But his daughter Brünnhilde thwarts his plans… At the Hamburg International Music Festival, there is an opportunity to experience the opera in historical original sound for the first time under conductor Kent Nagano. At the festival, Kent Nagano is not conducting »his« orchestra, the Hamburg State Opera, but rather the Dresdner Festspielorchester, Concerto Köln and a top-class cast of soloists, who explore the playing and singing techniques of the 19th century. »More intimate tone colours, a more multi-layered and transparent sound, freed from the ballast of the centuries,« say the performers about the project, which seems to have been tailor-made for the transparent acoustics of the Elbphilharmonie Grand Hall. One of Wagner’s most famous pieces, the »Ride of the Valkyries« – famously used by director Francis Ford Coppola as background music to a helicopter attack in the anti-war film »Apocalypse Now« – thus sounds altogether different.
