François-Xavier Roth with Bruckner’s Third and a world premiere

Sun, May 19, 2024, 20:00

Philharmonie Berlin, Main Auditorium (Berlin)

Berliner Philharmoniker (Orchestra), François-Xavier Roth (Conductor)

The Third Symphony is considered Anton Bruckner’s problem child. The three versions of this hymn-like and at the same time mysterious work show how much the composer struggled with it. François-Xavier Roth, conductor of this performance, considers the first version from 1873 to be the most successful – because it shows the original Bruckner. Roth has made a name for himself as a Bruckner interpreter who brings not only the sonic power of this music to life, but also its nuances. The programme also includes the world premiere of a work by the Slovenian Vito Žuraj.

New Year’s Concert with Ernie and Bert

Sun, Jan 19, 2025, 11:00

Elbphilharmonie, Großer Saal (Hamburg)

NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchester, Ernie & Bert, Dave Claessen (Conductor)

Who’s whistling »On the beautiful blue Danube«? Oh right, Ernie and Bert are on their way to the New Year’s concert in the Elbphilharmonie. You can tell from the tip of Ernie’s nose that he’s thinking about how he could make himself useful in the concert: »Well, I’m going on a manhunt with the ›Bandit Gallop‹, I’m turning the ›Tritsch-Tratsch-Polka‹ into a ›Ritsch-Ratsch-Polka‹ and when Bert is completely exhausted after the ›Radetzky March‹, I’ll sing him a lullaby. In the middle of a concert? Oh, that doesn’t matter. You all just sing along, don’t you?«

New friday with string quartet and didgeridoo

Fri, Apr 4, 2025, 20:30

Konserthuset Stockholm, The Grünewald Hall (Stockholm)

Björn Bohlin (Didgeridoo), Björn Bohlin (Oboe d’amore), Catherina Lee (Violin), Boris Brovtsyn (Violin), Yura Lee (Viola), Kristina Winiarski (Cello)

For the first time in Konserthuset, we get to hear music composed for the ancient Australian wind instrument, the didgeridoo. Both in a newly written piece for strings, didgeridoo, and oboe d'amore by Loke Risberg, and in the intensely vibrant sixteenth string quartet by Australian Peter Sculthorpe, where the instrument complements the four strings. Playing the didgeridoo, we have Björn Bohlin, a multi-instrumentalist who previously played English horn in the Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra.Gabriella Smith's Carrot Revolution is a tribute to the ability to find new ways to approach older artistic forms and expressions. "The piece is a patchwork of my very contrasting influences," she says.The concert begins with Ghiribizzi for violin and cello by the Moldovan-Austrian composer and violinist Patricia Kopatchinskaja. On her series of curiously explorative "ghiribizzi," she says: "It's not a tribute to Paganini, but I borrowed the title from his peculiar pieces for violin and guitar." Ghiribizz roughly translates to whims, quirks."***New Friday is the series for anyone who is curious and interested in exploring the new music of our era. Come early, stay late – the bar will be open before and after the concert with drinks and appetizers.

Kirill Petrenko and Vilde Frang

Fri, Nov 8, 2024, 20:00

Philharmonie Berlin, Main Auditorium (Berlin)

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 with Vilde Frang as the soloist. 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.

“Ausklang” (Finale) First edition with Sakari Oramo and Kirill Gerstein

Fri, Oct 18, 2024, 19:00

Philharmonie Berlin, Main Auditorium (Berlin)

Berliner Philharmoniker (Orchestra), Sakari Oramo (Conductor), Kirill Gerstein (Piano), Men of the Rundfunkchor Berlin (Choir), Andrea Thilo (Presentation)

Join us for the launch of a new series of short programmes with the Berliner Philharmoniker! We invite you to three Friday concerts this season under the title of “Ausklang” (finale). Without much ado, without a break, focussing on a single great work of orchestral music. Afterwards, the event continues in the foyer with a get-together over a free drink will. In the first instalment of the series, we present Ferruccio Busoni’s piano concerto, which unleashes pianistic fireworks and escalates into something monolithic when a male chorus is added to the performance forces for the finale. Sakari Oramo conducts, with Kirill Gerstein at the piano.

Kirill Petrenko conducts Bruckner and Rihm

Sat, Sep 14, 2024, 19:00

Philharmonie Berlin, Main Auditorium (Berlin)

Berliner Philharmoniker (Orchestra), Kirill Petrenko (Conductor)

Anton Bruckner’s symphonies have often been described as cathedrals of sound. And they really do combine a powerful architecture of sound with soaring climaxes and visions of the transcendent. This also applies to the Fifth Symphony, which Bruckner called his “contrapuntal masterpiece” because of its ingenious compositional technique. Kirill Petrenko combines it with a work that also has a connection to sacred architecture: Wolfgang Rihm’s IN-SCHRIFT, whose dark, powerfully-sculpted sounds are inspired by St Mark’s Basilica in Venice.
