Four cellists from the Metropole Orkest, occasionally accompanied by drums and bass, create a full and soulful sound. Their album "Metrocelli" features orchestral pieces, pop songs, and jazz standards, including works by Daft Punk, Faithless, The Prodigy, and Stromae, taking listeners on an enjoyable musical journey.
Kołysz się i tocz! Do you know such a dance? Its funny name sounds like an instruction, and the whole world knows it – it’s rock and roll. This lively dance was born in North America. During our concert, we’ll talk about the energetic music and about the great friendship and passion that unites two friends. They danced rock and roll from an early age, devoting all their free time to practising. Each tournament brought them closer to realising their dream of making their favourite dance their main occupation and the purpose of their life. Are you curious how this story ended?

»Swing King« Andrej Hermlin and his big band embark on a journey to America in the 1930s, to the great era of a music that is currently experiencing a remarkable renaissance – swing! The repertoire includes numerous well-known but also rare original arrangements, melodies by the most famous orchestras of the swing era, such as Benny Goodman and Glenn Miller. Of course, songs from their recently released album »Swing Is On Parade« are not to be missed. The Swing Dance Orchestra is authentic down to the last detail: the sound, the arrangements, the microphones and the desks, the instruments and the wardrobe all correspond to the American originals of the time.
There are organ concerts, and then there are very special organ concerts. When palace organist Olivier Latry joins forces with Shin-Young Lee on the keys, the magnificent sound of the concert hall organ becomes an even more impressive musical event. This time, the program includes works that were not originally written for the organ, but their polyphony and orchestral colors create a unique effect on this instrument. "Le sacre du printemps" by Igor Stravinsky is one of these works. And even the famous "Sunrise" from Ravel's "Daphnis et Chloé" gains a special colorfulness on the organ. By invitation of the Dresden Philharmonic Concert as part of the Dresden Music Festival
A great moment in jazz: on 16 January 1938, a young man and his musicians took to the stage of the sold-out Carnegie Hall, visibly nervous. Benny Goodman had not wanted to give this concert. The famous patron John Hammond, whose sister Alice would later marry Benny Goodman, and some eager agents had persuaded him to do so. This was the first performance by a jazz band in the New York concert hall, where otherwise only classical music could be heard. In front of an audience of more than 2,000, Benny Goodman, dressed in a tailcoat, played the concert of his life. His big band had reached its zenith in those days, and Goodman would never have such a high-calibre line-up again. In addition to the orchestra, the trio and the quartet played – with Lionel Hampton on vibraphone and Teddy Wilson on piano. Martha Tilton sang »Loch Lomond« and »Bei mir bist du schoen« – Count Basie, Buck Clayton, Lester Young and other jazz musicians joined the Goodman band for a jam session on – »Honeysuckle Rose«. The unexpected enthusiasm of the rather conservative audience swept Benny Goodman and his band off their feet, lucky for posterity that John Hammond had the concert recorded. To this day, the album with the recordings of that evening in Carnegie Hall is one of the best-selling jazz productions ever and is reissued time and again. Even as a child, listening to these legendary recordings, Andrej Hermlin dreamed of a band like the one with which Benny Goodman celebrated his triumphs. Consequently, his next ambitious project was to re-perform the concert that made his idol Benny Goodman a legend. This performance is less about a faithful copy of the score and more about capturing the authentic atmosphere of that evening in Carnegie Hall. True-to-style suits, music stands, no electronic tricks; this is how the resurrection should succeed.
With Brian Blade, one of the currently most influential jazz drummers comes to the Elbphilharmonie. He played alongside Wayne Shorter, Danilo Perez and John Patitucci in the legendary Wayne Shorter Quartet for two decades, sat at the drums with music greats, such as Chick Corea, Herbie Hancock, Brad Mehldau, Wolfgang Muthspiel, Rebekka Bakken and John Scofield, and enhanced albums by Bob Dylan and Norah Jones with his bespoke beats. The astounding variability with which he can adapt his playing to the stylistic approaches of any music has so far earned him four Grammy Awards. Thankfully, despite the many projects, he still drums with his »Fellowship Band«, which he established more than 25 years ago with the ideally matched jazz pianist Jon Cowherd. In the past year, with »Kings Highway«, the band has now released its seventh studio album. Here, the instruments once again blend into a perfectly harmonious sound. »Everyone adds so much and everyone takes care of the needs of the others,« explained a long-standing band member of the irresistible magic of this unique constellation.
Join us for a Motown-themed concert performed by the Swedish Mounted Band of the Royal Lifeguards. The title is “Souled Out” and soul is exactly what’s on offer, with the music of Aretha Franklin, Otis Redding, Michael Jackson and Chaka Kahn!The soloist is Kristin Amparo, who has garnered recognition for her unstoppable and seemingly unlimited artistry over the years. She has been described as a combination of Ella Fitzgerald and Amy Winehouse. She participated twice in 2014 in the Swedish show Allsång på Skansen (Sing-along at Skansen). She was also in the 2015 Melodifestivalen song competition with the song “I See You”, written by Fredrik Kempe and David Kreuger. In addition, Kristin was a driving force behind hip hop collective Femtastic.The Swedish Mounted Band of the Royal Lifeguards is joined by a backup band consisting of a guitarist, bassist, drummer, keyboard player and two backup singers.This annual concert is arranged in partnership between the Föreningen för den Beridna Högvakten (Association of the Mounted High Guard) and the Swedish Mounted Band of the Royal Lifeguards, which is one of the Swedish Armed Forces’ three professional orchestras and consists of 27 brass players and three percussionists.
