New World Symphony

Date & Time
Sun, Feb 23, 2025, 15:00
The movie Chevalier popularised the incredible life story of Joseph Bologne, Chevalier de Saint-Georges, but his music is even more exciting, and today it’s just the start of an adventure that begins in 18th-century Paris, and ends with the glorious melodies of Dvořák’s ‘New World’ Symphony.It’s popular for a reason, but for pure elegance and enchantment it’s hard to top Mozart’s Concerto for Flute and Harp, performed by LPO Principal Flute Juliette Bausor plus the incredible Alexander Boldachev – a...

Mahler Chamber Orchestra: Music from the New World

Thu, Sep 5, 2024, 20:00
Philharmonie Berlin, Main Auditorium (Berlin)
Mahler Chamber Orchestra (Orchestra), Antonello Manacorda (Conductor), Anna Prohaska (Soprano)
Antonello Manacorda and the Mahler Chamber Orchestra open our International Chamber Orchestra series with music from the “New World”. Anton Dvorak’s Ninth Symphony, written in New York, clearly expresses the influences of both indigenous and African American melodies – although the work is also unmistakably Bohemian in colour. 2024 marks the 150th birthday of the brilliant Charles Ives, the first American composer to gain truly global recognition. Anna Prohaska sings selected songs by Ives, juxtaposed with songs by Gustav Mahler, his European contemporary.

New Year's Concert

Sat, Jan 4, 2025, 18:00
Filharmonia Narodowa, Concert Hall (Warszawa)
Warsaw Philharmonic Orchestra, Mateusz Molęda (Conductor), Aleksandra Orłowska (Soprano)
Mateusz Molęda, photo: Alexej Gorlatch Instead of waiting for the usual broadcast of the New Year’s concert from the Golden Hall of the Vienna Musikverein to hear Strauss waltzes, polkas and showstopping numbers from operettas, the musical atmosphere of Vienna can be experienced during the New Year’s Eve concert at the Warsaw Philharmonic. It is not easy to grasp the genealogy of the Strauss family. Josef, Eduard and as many as three Johanns are among the most famous members of the enterprising Austrian family with Hungarian roots, which over the course of the nineteenth century produced an abundant corpus of popular songs that resounded at carnival balls. The progenitor of the musical dynasty was the first of the Johanns, who was said to have been inspired by the music of bands wandering between the Viennese taverns along the Danube. However, it was his first-born son, also Johann, who made a name for himself as the ‘king of the waltz’ and the composer of numerous popular operettas, to mention but titles such as Die Fledermaus and Wiener Blut. Another descendant, Josef, the most universally talented of the siblings, planned a different career for himself, successfully completing studies in engineering. However, a sudden substitution for the sick Johann II turned his fortunes to music for life. After Josef’s death, the youngest of the brothers, Eduard, took over the responsibility of leading the family orchestra. Together with the orchestra, he visited the most diverse corners of the world, and at the beginning of the twentieth century, he published his written history of the musical Strauss family.

SLAM SYMPHONY

Thu, Nov 16, 2023, 20:00
Konzerthalle Bamberg, Joseph-Keilberth-Saal (Bamberg)
Christian Ritter (Presenter), Dominique Macri (Poetry Slam), Wehwalt Koslovsky (Poetry Slam), Yannik Noah Ambrusits (Poetry Slam), Aivis Greters (Conductor)
The »Slam Symphony« is now in its ninth round in Bamberg and, as always, three award-winning poetry slammers will compete against each other to win the audience prize before the young Latvian conductor Aivis Greters performs the symphonic work. This time we will focus on Berlioz, a man about whom it was said that »despite all the eccentricity his compositions exude, he is a peculiar man, if only because he is driven by a burning, enthusiastic love for the arts, because he has blazed his own trail, and – because he is a character«. Bearing this year‘s motto in mind, his legendary »Symphonie fantastique« is a must: in 1830, the romantic fiery-head had a »fixed idea« that left its mark when it comes to setting states of the soul in music. At that time, the very young composer was in love with an actress unattainable to him. And so he composed these »Episodes from the Life of an Artist«, which of course was himself: the tale of a consuming passion, of hell, opium and madness. The almost obsessively adored one is both a wishful and distorted image in one and, in the »Idée fixe«, almost like a nightmare, always present – because this leitmotif constantly throws his soul into turmoil. It will be exciting to hear which lyrics and words will come to the slammers‘ minds!

Carnegie Hall (New York)
Berliner Philharmoniker (Orchestra), Kirill Petrenko (Conductor)
The Fifth Symphony is a work with which the composer fought for public recognition. In it, he reveals himself to be a gifted musical architect, bringing together voluptuous melodies, solemn chorales and sophisticated contrapuntal structures to create a symphonic monument. Kirill Petrenko conducts Bruckner with the Berliner Philharmoniker for the first time.

Carnegie Hall (New York)
Berliner Philharmoniker (Orchestra), Kirill Petrenko (Conductor), Vilde Frang (Violin)
At times melancholic and rugged, at others with a dance-like lightness: Antonín Dvořák’s Seventh Symphony presents a broad spectrum of contrasting moods, infused with the unmistakable colouring of Czech folk music. Kirill Petrenko also conducts Erich Wolfgang Korngold’s Violin Concerto. Exiled from his native Vienna, Korngold brought his lush late romantic harmonic language to Hollywood; in this piece, his film music can be heard again and again. Sergei Rachmaninov’s mystical tone poem The Isle of the Dead takes us into yet another hypnotic sound world.
