Night Session

Date & Time
Sat, Jun 21, 2025, 21:30
‘We tell ourselves stories through good music,’ our chief conductor Joana Mallwitz is convinced. And that's why there are once again two Night Sessions this season, which she has newly developed with and for the Konzerthaus Berlin. The concerts with the Konzerthausorchester Berlin, which start at 9.30 pm on Fridays, always revolve around a theme that she presents in an unusual stage setting and to which a guest panellist contributes a different perspective on the common topic.

Night Session I: TIMING

Sat, Oct 26, 2024, 21:30
Konzerthaus Berlin, Großer Saal (Berlin)
Konzerthausorchester Berlin, Joana Mallwitz (Conductor), zu Gast: Schauspieler Matthias Brandt (Actor)
“We tell ourselves stories through good music,” our chief conductor Joana Mallwitz is convinced. And that's why this season there will once again be two Night Sessions, which she has developed with and for the Konzerthaus Berlin. The concerts with the Konzerthausorchester Berlin, which begin at 9.30 pm on Saturdays, always revolve around a theme that she presents in an unusual stage setting and to which a guest contributes a different perspective on the topic. In this series, the unifying element is the right feeling for the right moment - without perfect timing, there can be no perfect interplay to captivate the audience. This is just as true for a symphony orchestra as it is for an actor: our guest is the well-known theater, film and television actor Matthias Brandt, who played the Munich detective Hanns von Meuffels in the ARD crime series “Polizeiruf 110”. Born in 1961 and the youngest son of the German Chancellor from 1969 to 1974, Willy Brandt, and his wife Rut, the artist grew up in Bonn right in the political centre of old Western Germany. A few years ago, he published a collection of prose miniatures about his childhood under the title “Raumpatrouille” (Space Patrol).

Long Night of Theater

Sat, Apr 18, 2026, 19:00
Paolo Bortolameolli (Conductor), Jess Gillam (Saxophon), Dresdner Philharmonie
In three short concerts, we show how versatile classical music can be. Jess Gillam takes center stage, a musician who makes the saxophone shine like no other. Her energy and enthusiasm for music are absolutely infectious - even if you are not familiar with classical concerts.<br>The soprano saxophone that Jess Gillam plays is a rather unusual instrument in the concert hall. However, in the pieces we present to you today, she shows how diverse and moving it can sound: sometimes lyrical and gentle, sometimes full of power and tension.<br>You will also hear excerpts from Antonín Dvořák's Seventh Symphony. This music tells of deep emotions - longing, pride, and joy. Dvořák composed it with so much heart that it is hard to resist.

Ensemble NIGHT

Mon, May 12, 2025, 19:30
Elbphilharmonie, Kleiner Saal (Hamburg)
Jason Kunwar (Sarangi), Jason Kunwar (Bamboo flutes), Jason Kunwar (Piwancha), Jason Kunwar (Vocals), Niraj Shakya (Tungna), Niraj Shakya (Murchunga), Sudhir Acharya (Madal), Sudhir Acharya (Dhime), Sudhir Acharya (Nagara), Sudhir Acharya (Tyamko), Sudhir Acharya (Chatkauli), Shiva Kumar Khatri (Paluwa flute), Shiva Kumar Khatri (Vocals), Sugama Gautam (Vocals)
The landscape of Nepal stretches from tropical plains to the icy, sublime peaks of the Himalayas. Its music possesses a similarly exciting diversity. The Ensemble NIGHT brings out these hidden treasures located between rural folklore, Indian echoes and spiritual colouring. The quintet was formed in the Nepalese capital Kathmandu in 2006 by singer and multi-instrumentalist Jason Kunwar. After an initial phase as a metal band, the musicians decided to explore and preserve the cultural cosmos of the country’s more than 100 ethnic groups and languages. Accompanied by intensive field research trips to remote villages, they have developed a repertoire in which old songs and almost lost instruments come back into play. These include the paluwa flute made from fresh leaves, the three-stringed sarangi covered with sheepskin, and the Tamang stringed instrument known as the tungna. The ensemble also writes new songs based on its deep understanding of traditional music. This »new school folk« tells of spirituality as well as depicting the hardships of life in the countryside. The ensemble also documents its work on film – giving Nepal an opportunity to pass on its exciting heritage to future generations and to the world at large.
