Eefje de Visser

Eefje de Visser has more than earned a good reputation as a singer, musician and performer. Her music is captivating and surreal, hopeful and nostalgic. She plays multi-layered, alternative pop and creates a warm visual world in which the viewer can forget time and escape reality exuberantly or quietly. She is going on tour with new songs that songs she wrote during the tour for her last, acclaimed album »Bitterzoet«, during the pandemic, her pregnancy and her first time as a mother.

Kaléidoscope de clarinettes

Young Mozart once exclaimed about the wonderful effect of clarinets. The hr-Sinfonieorchester has six of them, all showcased in this chamber music program. Spanning centuries and styles, they will be played in every imaginable combination, like a shimmering kaleidoscope. A special highlight, not just for chamber music fans. Concert duration: approx. 110 minutes including intermission.

Philharmonie de Paris

Following its Frankfurt performance, the hr-Sinfonieorchester will tour Arthur Honegger's oratorio "Jeanne d'Arc au bûcher" to Paris, Vienna, and Hamburg.

Fin de Siècle

This a cappella choral concert pays homage to Clytus Gottwald, who transformed Fin de Siècle music, piano songs, instrumental works, and even entire symphony movements into resonant a cappella choral pieces. He combined Richard Strauss's instrumental voice treatment with vocal techniques from György Ligeti's "Lux aeterna". Starting with pieces by Ravel, Berg, and Mahler, he created a genre of over 100 transcriptions. Johannes Borowski contributed a song cycle based on Virginia Woolf's "The Waves" for the SWR Vokalensemble.

»Le Passion de Carmen«

Soprano Stella Motina and pianist Vera Bogdanchikova take the audience on an unforgettable musical journey through the south of Spain and explore the passion of Carmen. From Manuel de Falla’s »Seven Spanish Folk Songs«, which illuminate love in ever new facets, they move on to Dvořák’s »Cigánské Melodie«, which awakens the desire to dance. To the sound of castanets, the audience finally arrives in Seville and takes a break in the »Lillas Pastia« taverna. The best melodies from »Carmen« by Georges Bizet are played here. Carmen, the beautiful, self-confident woman, enjoys her freedom. An adventure unfolds: love, passion, jealousy and the prophecy of fate. The beating of the chords is reminiscent of the stamping of feet in flamenco, in which the woman seems to lift her heels to assert her personal independence. The exciting journey comes to an end, but of course the listeners can linger for a moment and prolong the melodic excursion. The artists have prepared something very special.
