Date & Time
Thu, Nov 14, 2024, 20:00
Olivia Trummer ist Pianistin, Sängerin und Komponistin.

Behutsam baut sie Brücken zwischen den Stilen und verknüpft Melodien und Geschichten zu einer ganzheitlichen Erzählung, die einen unmittelbar berührt.

VESSELS OF LIGHT

Sun, Nov 17, 2024, 11:00
Konzerthaus Berlin, Großer Saal (Berlin)
Konzerthausorchester Berlin, Joana Mallwitz (Conductor), Kaunas State Choir, Kristina Reiko Cooper (Cello), Kristín Anna Guðmundsdóttir (Soprano), Nora Steuerwald (Alto), Kangyoon Shine Lee (Tenor), Arttu Kataja (Bass), Eliana Pliskin Jacobs (Singer), Sasha Lurje (Singer), Benjy Fox-Rosen (Singer), Karsten Troyke (Singer)
The music of the composer Charles Ives, who was influenced by transcendentalism, reflects the fact that he saw life and spirituality under the sign of endless questions - “The Unanswered Question” from 1906/07 already bears his attitude in its title and resolves it musically. Lera Auerbach's Symphony No. 6 was commissioned for the 70th anniversary of the International Holocaust Memorial Yad Vashem in 2024. Auerbach dedicates her work entitled “Vessels of Light” to the Japanese diplomat Chiune Sugihara, who saved thousands of Jewish people by issuing visas during the Second World War, including the father-in-law of cello soloist Kristina Reiko Cooper. The Kabbalistic tale of the “breaking of the vessels” at the creation of the world, the appreciative art of Japanese Kintsugi, which uses lacquer and gold powder to save broken porcelain or ceramics, and the quiet words of the biblical Psalm 121 are woven by the composer into a tapestry of words and music.

Changing Light

Fri, May 9, 2025, 19:45
Wolkenburg, Festsaal
Camilla Hoitenga (Flute), Anna Herbst (Soprano)
The flute and soprano voices are sisters – not only in spirit, but also because of their sound characteristics. Camilla Hoitenga and Anna Herbst provide tangible proof of this with the program »Changing Light«. Over the course of her career, Camilla Hoitenga – born in Michigan/USA in 1954 – has worked closely with Kaija Saariaho for decades and (premiered) numerous of her works, including »Dolce Tormento«. Here, the beguiling piccolo flute merges with Francesco Petrarch's Sonnet 132, an idealization of the feminine presented in sections by the instrumentalist. What happens in »Dolce Tormento« in personal union, Saariaho breaks down accordingly in »Changing Light« (version for soprano and flute): While the expressive voice recites an evening prayer by the American Rabbi Jules Harlow, the versatile flute playing conjures up a light-dark dualism inherent in the text. This also includes Malika Kishino's »Monochrome Garden VIII« for alto flute, in which the light reflections of Japanese gardens and creatures buzzing around become the musical driving force.

Out of the Dark - Falco

Mon, Dec 8, 2025, 20:00
Gewandhaus Leipzig, Großer Saal (Leipzig)
"Out of the Dark – FALCO: Die Musik der 80er" begeistert mit einem mitreißenden Bühnenerlebnis! Ein Muss für alle Falco-Fans und Liebhaber der 80er-Jahre-Musik: Mit der neuen Produktion "Out Of The Dark – FALCO: Die Musik der 80er" wird die Bühne erneut zum Schauplatz einer Hommage an die legendäre österreichische Pop-Ikone. Diese aufregende Show vereint die größten Hits von FALCO, interpretiert und dargestellt durch den multitalentierten Sänger und Schauspieler Axel Herrig, mit einer Reise durch die pulsierende Musikwelt der 80er Jahre – eine Ära, die den Pop und Falcos unvergleichlichen Stil prägte. Seit über zehn Jahren in Wien beheimatet, vertieft Herrig sein Wissen über die unsterbliche Musiklegende. Das musikalische Erbe Falcos studierte er aus erster Hand: Ob als Wegbegleiter von Freunden und Produzenten Falcos, durch den Dokumentarfilm „Falco – Die ultimative Doku“ (https://youtu.be/2oDrJC_NGCE?si=jjVxbyox_dxW5QK0, 2017) oder in der Hauptrolle des Falco aus dem ersten Falco Musical „Falco meets Amadeus“. Gekonnt wird er dieses Wissen rund um die Figur Falco nun mit neuer Authentizität und Leidenschaft auf der Bühne zum Leben erwecken. Im Herbst 2025 feiert diese beeindruckende Produktion ihre Premiere und geht anschließend auf Tournee mit Terminen in Deutschland. „Out of the Dark“ – eine Zeitreise durch die Musik der 80er Mit aufwendigen Projektionen, energiegeladenen Tanzeinlagen und einer beeindruckenden Lichtshow entführt die Produktion das Publikum in die schillernde Welt der 80er Jahre. Die Show bietet nicht nur eine Hommage an Falco, sondern zelebriert die Musik und den Zeitgeist einer Ära, die bis heute Generationen inspiriert. Die unvergessene Musik eines Ausnahmekünstlers Die Produktion bringt Falcos ikonische Werke zurück auf die Bühne und verleiht ihnen durch moderne Inszenierungen neuen Glanz. Die energiegeladenen Performances greifen die charakteristische Mischung aus Tiefgang, Exzentrik und zeitloser Melodik auf, die Falcos Musik so einzigartig macht. Die Show verspricht ein musikalisches Erlebnis, das die Fans mitreißt und die Essenz seines künstlerischen Schaffens zelebriert. Die Musik der 80er trifft auf die Energie von heute Um die goldene Ära der Musik der 80er Jahre noch gebührender zu feiern, hat sich Falcos alias Axel Herrig noch einen stimmgewaltigen Überraschungsgast eingeladen, und zwar keinen geringeren als Freddie Mercury, verkörpert von dem Sänger und Schauspieler Sascha Lien (WE WILL ROCK YOU, ROCK OF AGES). Gemeinsam stehen die beiden schon seit längerer Zeit mit der Erfolgsshow „Falco meets Mercury“ auf der Bühne. Kostüme, Bühnenbilder und Choreografien greifen die Trends und den Glamour dieses Jahrzehnts auf und bringen sie in die Gegenwart. So entsteht ein dynamisches Bühnenerlebnis, das nicht nur Fans der Musiklegende, sondern auch Liebhaber der 80er begeistert. Das Publikum begibt sich auf eine emotionale Reise durch eine Zeit, die von Kreativität und Mut zur Extravaganz geprägt war.

SOLD OUT: MOZARTFEST WÜRZBURG

Sat, Jun 24, 2023, 20:00
Kaisersaal der Residenz (Würzburg)
Fabio Biondi (Conductor), Barbara Bode (Oboe)
“In the rising of a symphony there is something divine, something similar to creation itself." (Leonard Bernstein) Life is in constant transformation and the world in constant change – and so, too, is the history of music! When eight-year-old Mozart composed his first symphonic work in 1764, the late baroque was transitioning to the classical era. The symphony was in the process of emancipating itself from its origins in the overture to Neapolitan opera. In this concert, our orchestra will perform two early symphonies by Mozart, who once said, "Creation emerges as in a pleasant and lively dream." Conductor Fabio Biondi specialises in bringing rare works to the stage, and thus this programme will feature works seldom heard from his native Italy. The Milanese composer Carlo Monza was highly regarded during his lifetime, but only a few of his pieces have been rediscovered to date. One of these is the striking Sinfonia "La tempesta di mare" of 1784, where the music condenses into a veritable storm. Giuseppe Sammartini was likewise born in Milan and later worked in London, where he was considered one of the greatest oboists of his day. His popular instrumental concertos were said to be "full of science, originality and fire". The talented Niccoló Jommelli came from Naples, but was successful beyond Italy’s borders. His opera symphonies in particular were considered exemplary and were widely disseminated as independent works from 1750 onwards. Our programme will end with a composition by another famous Wunderkind: in 1824, at the age of just 15, Mendelssohn wrote his extravagantly romantic C minor Symphony – an astonishing creation of which it was said: "New, beautiful, original. Spirit, flow, calm, melodiousness, wholeness, drama."
