Sat, Jan 11, 2025, 20:00
Together with the German-British Choral Academy conducted by Wayne Marshall, Germany’s top young orchestral players present a programme dedicated to Britten, Holst and Gershwin – »very British«, in other words. The evening begins with Britten’s classic »The Young Person’s Guide to the Orchestra«, a piece that continues to playfully familiarise young audiences with the full range of orchestral instruments – and which also skilfully showcases the talent of the National Youth Orchestra of Germany this evening.

Glanert wrote a work full of longing and passion for the violinist Midori; he has admired her since her days as an internactionally-acclaimed child prodigy. Midori is also the soloist in this performance with the National Youth Orchestra under the direction of Patrick Lange. The orchestra, of which the Berliner Philharmoniker is a patron, will also play Johannes Brahms' First Piano Quartet in Arnold Schoenberg's colourful orchestration.

Elbphilharmonie, Großer Saal (Hamburg)
Turkish National Youth Philharmonic Orchestra (Orchestra), İlyun Bürkev (Piano), Cem Mansur (Conductor)
Istanbul-born pianist İlyun Bürkev is only 16 years old and already a real star in her home country. She is now studying at the Mozarteum in Salzburg and has won numerous prizes at international competitions, most recently at »Jeune Chopin« in Switzerland. Together with the most important youth orchestra from her home town, the Turkish National Youth Philharmonic Orchestra, she will perform Edvard Grieg’s sonorous and captivating piano concerto at the Schleswig-Holstein Music Festival. The orchestra has already performed with greats such as Murray Perahia and Alice Sara Ott and plays in major concert halls such as the Vienna and Berlin Konzerthaus – »technically absolutely convincing«, according to the Tagesspiegel. In addition to Ludwig van Beethoven’s famous Fifth Symphony and Benjamin Britten’s »Four Sea Interludes«, which are infused with English East Coast sea spray, the young Istanbul orchestra will also be performing a work by Turkish composer Cem Esen. In keeping with the title »Sarcasm«, the musicians poke fun at themselves and the traditional rules – all in the midst of a finely orchestrated and dazzlingly colourful riot of sound that is simply great fun!

National State Symphony Orchestra of Ukraine / Raphaela Gromes / Volodymyr Sirenko

Tue, Nov 19, 2024, 20:00
Elbphilharmonie, Großer Saal (Hamburg)
National State Symphony Orchestra of Ukraine, Raphaela Gromes (Cello), Volodymyr Sirenko (Conductor)
The celebrated young cellist Raphaela Gromes and the National State Symphony Orchestra of Ukraine had planned their joint concerts, which kicked off in Kyiv, in the hope that peace would come soon. Now the war is still raging, making the concerts, which feature two of Antonín Dvořák’s most beautiful works and an overture by Mozart’s Russian-Ukrainian contemporary Dimitrij Bortnjanski, all the more a mission of peace. »I was deeply impressed by the solidarity of the Ukrainians, by their incredible courage and will to fight staunchly for freedom and democracy,« said Raphaela Gromes after her performance in Kyiv in December 2023. In Dvořák’s Cello Concerto she is accompanied by the National State Symphony Orchestra of Ukraine under the baton of long-standing chief conductor Volodymyr Sirenko, who have seen themselves as cultural ambassadors of their homeland since the orchestra was founded. With its vocal melodies and dramatic climaxes, it offers the soloist plenty of scope for virtuoso dexterity and unbridled passion. The many famous melodies from the composer’s subsequent Ninth Symphony, »From the New World«, are sure to resonate long after the concert, carrying the hope for peace from the concert hall out into the world.
