“The 75th birthday” ‒ A matinee to celebrate the Friends of the Berliner Philharmoniker association

Sun, Nov 10, 2024, 11:00
Philharmonie Berlin, Main Auditorium (Berlin)
Blechbläserensemble der Berliner Philharmoniker (Ensemble), Streicherensemble der Berliner Philharmoniker (Ensemble), Vokalhelden (Choir), Berlin Philharmonic Winds (Ensemble)
A matinee to celebrate the association's anniversary75 years ago, on 17 October 1949, our association was founded. Its aim was to build a new concert hall for the Berliner Philharmoniker, who had become homeless during World War II. The “Friends” formed a large citizens' initiative and, with their contributions and donation campaigns, made a significant impact on the opening of the Philharmonie, which was designed by Hans Scharoun, in 1963. But there was still a lot to do afterwards: The chamber music hall opened its doors in 1987, the orchestra received valuable instruments, and many major projects such as the Philharmoniker's Europakonzert were realised with our support. We want to celebrate this round birthday: with prominent guests and, of course, with great music played by members of the Berliner Philharmoniker. Afterwards, we will celebrate the anniversary together in the foyer.

Bill Laurance & Michael League

Sat, Mar 2, 2024, 20:00
Laeiszhalle, Kleiner Saal (Hamburg)
Bill Laurance (Piano), Michael League (Bass), Michael League (Oud)
You can hardly talk about Michael League and Bill Laurance without mentioning Snarky Puppy. American bassist and multi-instrumentalist Michael League founded the globally acclaimed, four-time Grammy award-winning collective almost 20 years ago. And British pianist and keyboardist Bill Laurance has been part of this global adventure for almost as long. The fact that League and Laurance are presenting their first joint duo album with »Where you wish you were« seems both surprising and logical.

Christian Sands Quartet

Tue, Mar 5, 2024, 20:00
Laeiszhalle, Kleiner Saal (Hamburg)
Christian Sands Quartet, Christian Sands (Piano), Max Light (Guitar), Jonathon Muir-Cotton (Bass), Ryan Sands (Drums)
At the age of just 34, the American pianist Christian Sands can already look back on a quite picture-perfect career: he took up the piano at aged four, wrote his first compositions at five, and his first album followed at twelve. He went on to study with jazz ambassador Billy Taylor, played with bassist Christian McBride and has since recorded eight albums. Now Sands is bringing his quartet to the Elbphilharmonie. The New Yorker relies in his playing on a powerful swinging tempo combined with sophisticated technical finesse. His reputation as a superb live entertainer precedes him. Besides his own compositions, Sands also takes a look far back into jazz history – with Jonathon Muir-Cotton on bass, Max Light on guitar and his brother Ryan Sands on drums. He incorporates and transforms old and not-so-old heroes of piano playing like Herbie Hancock, Chick Corea and Brad Mehldau with incredible ease. The »Süddeutsche Zeitung« newspaper once coined this »entrümpelte Klassiker« (»decluttered classics«).
