LPO at Saffron Hall

Saffron Walden

Vladimir Jurowski (Conductor), Vilde Frang (Violin)

Not for nothing is Schubert’s expansive final symphony known as ‘The Great’ – it is music of broad vistas, lofty ambition, but also a sparkling vivacity and seamlessly stitched, intricate detail.LPO Conductor Emeritus Vladamir Jurowski brings a depth of insight and imagination to this totemic work, and to the arresting drama of Beethoven’s work. He and violinist Vilde Frang are a perfectly attuned pairing to bring out the poetry and eloquence of Schumann’s concerto. Frang is making waves. A deeply expressive communicator with a luminous sound, and astonishing technical facility, she is an ever-thoughtful interpreter.

Open Day: 30 years Bamberg Concert Hall

Sat, Sep 16, 2023, 11:00

Konzerthalle Bamberg (Bamberg)

Gemma New (Conductor), Christian Schmitt (Organ), Members of the Bamberg Symphony, Swantje Vesper (Concept), Swantje Vesper (Moderator)

The concert hall of Bamberg, situated on the picturesque banks of the river Regnitz, has been the centre of the region of Upper Franconia for events, trade fairs, congresses – and has been the home of the Bamberg Symphony for 30 years now. In the Joseph Keilberth Hall, with an audience of more than 1,400, the orchestra plays major symphonic concerts, but also chamber music, concerts for students, educational programmes and organ concerts are presented here. Furthermore, many award-winning CD recordings by the Bamberg Symphony have been made on this stage with its much-praised acoustics. On the occasion of its 30th anniversary, the concert hall opens its doors and offers a colourful and varied concert programme for all ages. On this day, the Bamberg Symphony will perform Ludwig van Beethoven's Symphony No. 5 under the baton of Gemma New in a very special concert in honour of »their own« home venue. The afternoon will already see a revisit to »Ruby Red« as well as the popular Seat Cushion Concerts for the little ones. Christian Schmitt will also be performing on the Jann-organ. More opportunities to discover the concert hall as well as various activities in the halls and foyers top off this special event. Come and celebrate with us!
