Iestyn Davies, Robin Ticciati and the Chamber Orchestra of Europe

Chamber Orchestra of Europe / Iestyn Davies / Robin Ticciati

»The Chamber Orchestra of Europe is all about the music. In concert, this magical group unleashes an unbridled, emotional fervour, underpinned by profound wisdom. It is a privilege to work with this orchestra,« conductor Robin Ticciati raves about the democratically organised orchestra, with which he has been a regular guest at the Elbphilharmonie for almost ten years now. This orchestra-conductor dream team is now building on its celebrated 2019 Mozart project, and has invited Grammy Award-winning countertenor Iestyn Davies to conjure up magical moments in the Elbphilharmonie Grand Hall with arias by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and George Frideric Handel. The concert comes to an end with Mozart’s »Haffner« Symphony, whose lively finale includes melodies from the opera »Die Entführung aus dem Serail«, composed in the same year.

Chamber Orchestra of Europe and Sunwook Kim

The pianist Sunwook Kim has been acclaimed for his sensitivity, brilliance and stylistic confidence – all qualities well-suited to the music of Ludwig van Beethoven, whose Piano Concertos No. 3 and No. 4 he performs with the Chamber Orchestra of Europe. While the Third is tragic, serious and combative, the Fourth is lyrical, impetuous and playful. Two works by contemporary British composers will also be performed: Anna Clyne's string work Stride, which is inspired by Beethoven's music, and Helen Grime's Elegiac inflections, which demonstrates the diverse sonic possibilities of a wind ensemble.

Chamber Orchestra of Europe | Sir Simon Rattle

The highly honored Sir Simon Rattle is a truly brilliant musical personality of our time. His dynamism, seriousness, and emphatic conducting style, along with his refreshingly boundless enthusiasm for music-making, consistently inspire those around him. With the ever-inquisitive Chamber Orchestra of Europe, Sir Simon now explores two particularly profound masterpieces: Béla Bartók's colorful Music for Strings, Percussion and Celesta, reflecting music history from Bach to Beethoven in the light of early modernism on a symphonic scale. Tradition and progress unite auspiciously in Johannes Brahms's often serious, solemn, and bittersweet Fourth Symphony.

Outside subscription

Chamber Concert of the Orchestra Academy

On this afternoon, when the new scholarship holders of our Joseph Keilberth Orchestra Academy perform chamber music together with musicians from our orchestra, it shows best how we make the young orchestral talents of tomorrow fit for the job: Listening to one another in a small ensemble is essential for the large community of the symphony orchestra. And what better way to learn than in concert? We can look forward to a colourful programme with masterpieces of chamber music literature. A surprise concert, as it were, because many scholarship holders have just been called into our orchestra, so that an exact programme can only be announced a few weeks before the concert. Looking forward to a »carte blanche« that will certainly not disappoint.
