John Cage was a free spirit, a pioneer and revolutionary who turned the way his contemporaries saw music upside down. In humorous happenings and numerous appearances on popular TV shows, he surprised audiences with everyday objects and incorporated squeaky ducks, watering cans and pressure cookers into his works. A completely new approach! His best-known piece »4’33’’« doesn’t have a single note: 4 minutes and 33 seconds of tense silence – that too, according to Cage, is music. At the Hamburg International Music Festival, celebrated pianist Bertrand Chamayou performs legendary Cage pieces with dance accompaniment in »Cage²«. In the late 1930s, the accomplished pianist Cage was experimenting with the expressive possibilities of his instrument, kitting out his piano with screws and erasers that he inserted between the strings. Cage soon after used the resulting percussion-like sound when the dancer Syvilla Fort commissioned him in 1940 to compose incidental music for her choreographies, where rhythm was to play a central role. The unusual combination of primed piano and dance was so successful that more commissions from other dancers followed as a result. For »Cage²«, Bertrand Chamayou is bringing this music back to the stage again. The album of the same name, which was released in May 2024, received universal acclaim. »Impeccable” was the verdict from Gramophone magazine, while the Guardian wrote: » Chamayou’s performance of all of them, each complex rhythm razor sharp, every phrase perfectly articulated, is exemplary. It’s a fabulous disc, a true revelation.« All the more reason to be delighted with the addition of choreography to the phenomenal music on stage.
Compositions by Arvo Pärt and i Giya Kancheli are permeated with deep reflection on the meaning of life, referencing universal aspects of the human experience. Their ubiquitous minimalism provides space for introspection and meditation. It enables the listener to reach such focus that has an element of metaphysics in it. In the context of the contemporary conflicts, unrest, and even fashionable trends of mindfulness, this music lets one focus on what is truly important and beautiful. It opens for the listeners doors to reflection on their own lives and on the surrounding world. Arvo Pärt’s Fratres, one of his best known works, has already been arranged for various instrumental ensembles. The version for a string quartet is special: it reinforces the hypnotising and transcendental message of the piece, opening up new opportunities for interpretation. In the Georgian language, the title of Giya Kancheli’s work, Amao Omi, means “a war of nonsenses”. It reflects the composer’s involvement in spreading pacifism and a reflection on human brutality and the pointlessness of war. Alexandra KozowiczConcert duration: approximately 60 minutes

Schubert’s “Great” C major Symphony is considered by many to epitomise romanticism in orchestral music. The first call of the horns is typical of the era – evoking a sound world that is at once warm, idyllic and full of yearning. Conductor Zubin Mehta has included two further Romantic works on the programme: Carl Maria von Weber’s overture to the fairy-tale opera Oberon and Henryk Wieniawski’s Violin Concerto No. 1, with its combination of heartfelt expression and overwhelming virtuosity. Himari, who comes from Japan and is just 13 years old, makes her debut with the Berliner Philharmoniker as soloist.
