Musik der Zeit - Fern vertraut

Date & Time
Sat, Feb 8, 2025, 20:00
Exceptionally talented violinist Arabella Steinbacher inspired Luxembourgish composer Georges Lentz to create an ethereal violin concerto. Its sound expands within the Philharmonie like starlight under the Australian Outback sky, Lentz's compositional setting. Olga Neuwirth's orchestral piece "Masaot" delves into memories and associations: music as both home and foreign land. Georges Aperghis' Etude No. 8 ignites a celebration of orchestral virtuosity.

Musik der Zeit – Musik und Verlangen

Sat, Nov 9, 2024, 20:00
Kölner Philharmonie (Köln)
Anna-Lena Elbert (Soprano), Holger Falk (Bariton), Christoph Sietzen (Drums), WDR Sinfonieorchester (Ensemble), Brad Lubman (Conductor), Michael Struck-Schloen (Presentation)
Johannes Maria Staud's drum concerto for Christoph Sietzen, portrait artist of the 2024/2025 season, captures the shimmer of reality. A highly virtuosic pleasure on sought-after and found instruments, from drums to flowerpots. The protagonists in Gordon Kampe's "Lyrical Symphony" are "delighted to devour": inhumanly heightened desire dominates the music. Nicolas A. Huber devotes himself to the perfection of the number 4.

Musik der Zeit – Mann/Frau/Einhorn/Seen

Sat, May 10, 2025, 20:00
Kölner Philharmonie (Köln)
Boglárka Pecze (Clarinet), Kathrin Zukowski (Soprano), Thomas Loibl (Actor), WDR Sinfonieorchester (Ensemble), Christian Karlsen (Conductor), Kornelia Bittmann (Presentation)
Ein Lied von der Erde für unserer Zeit – nicht weniger haben der Schriftsteller Händl Klaus und der Komponist Hèctor Parra im Sinn. Olivia und Bruno stapfen durch eine glühende, tote Landschaft. Aus gesungenen und gesprochenen Worten ergibt sich ein unmöglicher Dialog zweier einsamer Figuren. Ein großes Werk über Abschied und Verlust, die Liebe und das Leben. Das Klarinettenkonzert der bedeutenden Komponistin Kaija Saariaho ist inspiriert von mittelalterlichen Teppichen mit Abbildungen einer Frau und eines Einhorns. Ein Werk, in dem die Solistin die Landschaft der Philharmonie förmlich »erwandert«. Das Konzert wird vom WDR für den Hörfunk aufgezeichnet und kann am 3. Juni 2025 im Radio und anschließend für 30 Tage auf wdr3.de nachgehört werden.
