Musik der Zeit – Mann/Frau/Einhorn/Seen

Date & Time
Sat, May 10, 2025, 20:00
Writer Händl Klaus and composer Hèctor Parra present "A Song of the Earth" for our time. Olivia and Bruno journey through a desolate landscape, their sung and spoken words forming a dialogue about loss, love, and life. Kaija Saariaho's clarinet concerto, inspired by medieval tapestries, features a soloist who metaphorically "walks" through the concert hall. The WDR will broadcast the concert on June 3, 2025, with online availability for 30 days thereafter.

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 - Fern vertraut

Kölner Philharmonie (Köln)
Arabella Steinbacher (Violin), WDR Sinfonieorchester (Orchestra), Ryan Bancroft (Director)
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.
