Komponist & Pianist Leon Gurvitch im Porträtkonzert

Leon Gurvitch: Bachomania

Classical music meets the art of improvisation: in his solo piano programme »Bachomania«, internationally acclaimed pianist and composer Leon Gurvitch brings the music of Johann Sebastian Bach to life in a completely new and exciting way. To mark the 340th anniversary of the great master’s birth, Gurvitch not only celebrates his timeless works, but also invites the audience to experience Bach through the lens of modern interpretation. With respect and imagination, he adapts compositions that were not originally intended for piano – including excerpts from the famous cello suites and chorales such as »Jesus bleibet meine Freude«. These works are revitalised by Gurvitch’s own handwriting and enhanced by spontaneous improvisations that make each concert unique.

Orchester im Treppenhaus

People flock together. Lovers, the curious, the odd fantasist. A tingling community. High-percentage stimulation in the hall too. Rimsky-Korsakov’s enchanting orchestral poem Scheherazade. Anna Clyne’s turbulent »Fractured Time«. A wave runs through the crowd. Some even dance. The orchestra strikes a chord. The clapping, the rhythm, a magical moment. Everyone together. Everyone now. Everything mega, everything KULT.

Dr. Leon Windscheid

Whether it’s his #1 Spiegel bestseller »Besser Fühlen«, his completely sold-out master classes or his podcast »Betreutes Fühlen« with Atze Schröder, which already has over three million subscribers: Dr Leon Windscheid has put science-based psychology on the map and is undoubtedly the shooting star of science communication. And from spring 2023 he will really take off with his new live programme »Gute Gefühle« (»Good Feelings«)!

Hamburger Kammerballett / Leon Gurvitch Ensemble

The Hamburg Chamber Ballet was founded in the summer of 2022 by Edvin Revazov, himself a celebrated first soloist in the Hamburg Ballet, together with Isabelle Rohlfs – a heartfelt project for community, cohesion and solidarity. Since then, it has offered displaced young dancers from Ukraine a new artistic home in Hamburg. In May 2025, the ballet will make its debut together with the outstanding composer and pianist Leon Gurvitch and his ensemble at the Elbphilharmonie Grand Hall. The musicians and dancers from Germany and Ukraine will present the world premiere of their new joint project for peace with the ballet »Silentium«. The ballet evening will open with »Kintsugi«, the ancient Japanese art of »golden mending«. The ballet is a tribute to life with all its fractures and to the beauty that arises when people decide to come together again and forgive each other.
