Olivia Trummer „Light out of darkness”

Date & Time
Thu, Nov 14, 2024, 20:00
Olivia Trummer ist Pianistin, Sängerin und Komponistin. Insbesondere in ihren Solokonzerten spannt sie stilistisch einen weiten Bogen: Aus der Welt der klassischen Musik über Eigenkompositionen bis hin zu Songs von Stevie Wonder, Ray Charles, Irving Berlin oder Leonard Bernstein, die sie aus einer frischen Perspektive ansteuert. Behutsam baut sie Brücken zwischen den Stilen und verknüpft Melodien und Geschichten zu einer ganzheitlichen Erzählung, die einen unmittelbar berührt. Ohne jegliche Effekthascherei, ohne Netz und doppelten Boden wagt sie sich in schwindelerregende Höhen... Read full text

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.

Music as light as a feather

Thu, Apr 3, 2025, 19:30
Narodowej Orkiestry Symfonicznej Polskiego Radia, Chamber Hall (Katowice)
Maciej Tomasiewicz (Conductor), Łukasz Zimnik (Flute), Karolina Stalmachowska (Oboe), Bartosz Pacan (Clarinet), Krzysztof Fiedukiewicz (Bassoon), Krzysztof Tomczyk (French horn), Tomasz Hajda (Trombone), Piotr Nowak (Trumpet), Michał Żymełka (Drums), Rafał Zambrzycki (Violin), Aleksander Daszkiewicz (Violin), Maria Shetty (Viola), Adam Krzeszowiec (Cello), Krzysztof Firlus (Double bass), Piotr Sałajczyk (Piano), Konrad Merta (Accordion)
Paul Hindemith is among the most underrated artists of the 20th century. Anyone who listens to his Kammermusik, op. 24 no. 1, a genuinely sparkling with ideas and light as a feather piece of music, will come to this conclusion. This architect of the cornerstone of historical performance and founding father of the famous Donaueschingen Contemporary Music Festival embodied the dominant ideals of the New Objectivity in German art of the 1920s, namely simplicity of means and communicativeness, in his Chamber Music series. It is a peculiar variety of neo-classicism, unjustly overshadowed by French or Russian music. The third movement in Kammermusik (op. 36 no. 3) is essentially a chamber cello concerto with explicit references to Baroque music. It is not without reason, after all, that this entire series has been compared to Bach's Brandenburg Concertos. Surprisingly similar in its spirit tone, although referring to the classical form and not devoid of stronger emotional accents, is the Sinfonietta of the then-only 18-year-old Benjamin Britten, already heralding his extraordinary talent. Adam SuprynowiczConcert duration: approximately 70 minutes

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."

SOLD OUT: An Alpine Symphony

Thu, May 25, 2023, 20:00
Konzerthalle Bamberg, Joseph-Keilberth-Saal (Bamberg)
Semyon Bychkov (Conductor), Katia Labèque (Piano), Marielle Labèque (Piano)
Richard Strauss once gave a beautiful description of one of the tricks he used in his composition process: “If I get stuck at a certain point in the evening while composing, and it does not seem possible to produce anything decent, no matter how hard I think, then I close the piano or my sketchbook, go to sleep, and when I wake up in the morning, I know how to continue!" His Alpine Symphony, premiered in 1915, was composed in a mere 100 days. Inspired by Nietzsche's polemical book "The Antichrist", Strauss created an opulent musical portrait of the various stations and scenes of an adventurous hike through the mountains, with an orchestral line-up including cowbells, an organ, and thunder and wind machines. This tone poem is a sonorous journey through nature and its creations – which is why a contemporary said admiringly of Strauss: "He has learned that music should not just illuminate our nights for all eternity, but that it should be like the sun." Before this musical ascent to the mountain peaks, conducted by Semyon Bychkov, our orchestra and the gifted pianists Katia and Marielle Labèque will perform the Double Concerto by Bohuslav Martinů, who was considered one of the most original Czech composers of the 20th century and described as “a creator who performs magic with new worlds." Jazz influences have left their mark on this work, but delightful tunes from Czech folk music also make an appearance. This truly stirring piece is proof that great creations are possible even under adverse circumstances: Martinů wrote it during the Second World War after fleeing to the United States, where he grappled increasingly with existential questions about the meaning of human life.
