Kenny Garrett and Sounds from the Ancestors

Date & Time
Thu, Aug 22, 2024, 20:00
His tone is unmistakable, his playing irrepressible and full of originality: it is none other than Kenny Garrett, one of the most important and versatile saxophonists of his generation, who rose to global fame as a member of Miles Davis’ band in the 1980s. Garrett then developed his own musical identity as a bandleader with albums like »African Exchange Student« and »Black Hope«. Black music culture has always been the starting point for his musical language, and he pays tribute... Read full text

The Sounds of Air

Sun, Apr 6, 2025, 11:00
Filharmonia Narodowa, Chamber Music Hall (Warszawa)
Anita Kander-Marchewka (Flute), Agata Bała (Oboe), Małgorzata Jończyk (Clarinet), Adam Ostrowski (Bassoon), Konrad Gołda (Horn), Gabriel Jasiorowski (Percussion instruments), Barbara Szczęsna-Remisz (Presenter)
The spring wind rustles in the trees, sings merrily in birdsong, chases the clouds away, turns somersaults, fills the fields and meadows with sound... This concert will be filled with music conjured up by wind instruments: the singing flute, the mysterious clarinet, the lyrical oboe, the playful bassoon, the gentle horn and energetic percussion. We’ll blow notes, dance in rhythms, visit the court of a Chinese empress and listen to raindrops falling. Who is curious to know whether the sounds of the air are light as a feather or heavy as a storm? Who wants to find out how to conjure music from the air and look for spring in it?

From the New World

Sat, Feb 28, 2026, 19:00
Kulturpalast Dresden, Konzertsaal (Dresden)
Emmanuel Tjeknavorian (Conductor), Tara Erraught (Mezzo-Soprano), Dresdner Philharmonie
Alma Mahler's Seven Songs immediately lead us into the world of the turn of the century: emotions between melancholy and hope, set to music with a deep, almost intimate expressiveness. In the arrangement for medium voice and orchestra, they unfold a sonic dimension that both touches and inspires. On the other hand, Antonín Dvořák's Symphony No. 9, known as "From the New World," is quite different. It bridges the gap between two continents and pours the impressions of a life in foreign America into grand symphonic arches. Longing sounds here like a distant memory, pulsating yet full of vastness. Dvořák's famous English horn theme, often referred to as the "Song of the Lonely Wanderer," captivates as much as the dynamic contrasts between drama and delicate lyricism. An evening that explores completely different soundscapes – and shows how diverse musical longing can sound.

World Souad Massi – Cosmopolitan from Algeria

Fri, Mar 28, 2025, 20:00
Philharmonie Berlin, Chamber Music Hall (Berlin)
Souad Massi (Guitar), Souad Massi (Vocals), Maxime Barcelona (Guitar), Mokrane Adlani (Violin), Guy Nsangue (Bass), Rabah Khalfa (Percussion), Maamoun Dehane (Drums)
Strong and yet vulnerable – on the international music scene, Souad Massi's voice is unmistakable. The Algerian began her career as a member of a heavy metal band, later establishing herself as a singer-songwriter in her exile home of Paris. In her songs, Souad Massis mixes elements of French chanson and Algerian music with folk rock and country music. Her music addresses existential themes such as freedom, justice and female self-determination. In her programme Sequana, she sings about the fragility of nature.

The Swingin’ Hermlins, Swing Dance Orchestra, Rachel Hermlin (Vocals), David Hermlin (Drums), Andrej Hermlin (Director), sowie als Gast: der Klarinettist Lorenzo Baldasso
Andrej Hermlin and the Swing Dance Orchestra have dedicated themselves to the music of the golden 20s and 30s.

Andrej Hermlin has fulfilled a long-held dream and recreates one of the great moments of jazz history: together with his Swing Dance Orchestra he plays exactly the concert with which jazz icon Benny Goodman took Carnegie Hall by storm in 1938.

The Bonds Between Music, Homeland and Diaspora

Wed, Jun 26, 2024, 19:00
M.Bassy
Jumoke Adeyanju (DJ), Ramadu (Vocals), Musa Okwonga (Moderator)
What influences your own music-making? Which cultural roots play a role and how can you express yourself in music – especially when you live far away in the diaspora? These are questions about which the singer Ramadu and dancer, DJ and author Jumoke Adeyanju exchange views in order to jam together afterwards. Ramadu is the stage name of Dumisani Moyo. Born and raised in Zimbabwe, he lived in Vienna for a long time and now promotes the musical culture of his homeland. This season, he is developing one of the Elbphilharmonie join-in ensembles with the Chor zur Welt, a programme about the varied a cappella music in Southern Africa. He will be part of this panel discussion a few days before the concerts on 30 June. With Jumoke Adeyanju as his discussion partner, he faces a multi-disciplinary artist, who also studied African-/Asian Studies at the Humboldt University of Berlin and completed a Masters in African Politics in London. Musa Okwonga, who likewise works in London as an author and musician as well as a radio presenter, moderates.

Graziëlla Hunsel Rivero (Vocals), Naomi Bright (Vocals), Alexander Beets (Saxophon), Ellister van der Molen (Trumpet), Sebastiaan van Bavel (Piano), Marius Beets (Bass), Sven Rozier (Drums)

Sarah Vaughan and Ella Fitzgerald have both performed here, as have Miles Davis and Louis Armstrong. Famous pop stars and bands that have graced the stage of the Main Hall include Frank Zappa, the Doors and the Eagles, to name but a few. Legendary concerts, in the present as well as the past.
