Tue, Aug 6, 2024, 19:30

Usher Hall (Edinburgh)

Jakub Hrůša (Conductor), Catriona Morison (Alto)

Summer, sun, festivals—we love this vibrant time! Our first trip of the new season takes us to the bagpipe capital: Edinburgh. We'll be in residence at the Edinburgh International Festival, whose theme, "Rituals That Unite Us," fits our love theme perfectly. We're bringing our favorite pieces from Bamberg, including our acclaimed focus on Hans Rott's first symphony and the love triangle between him, Bruckner, and Mahler. We'll also play works by Brahms and Dvořák, culminating in a grand finale of Czech music by Dvořák and Josef Suk with the Edinburgh Festival Chorus.

Summer, sun, festivals – we love this buzzing time and the magical bonding moments when hearts beat to the rhythm of music. Our first trip of the new season takes us to the heartland of bagpipes: there’s a lot happening in the Scottish capital Edinburgh in August, with its winding alleys virtually bursting at the seams as there's culture on almost every corner. Right in the centre of it all for classical music fans: the prestigious Edinburgh International Festival, founded in 1947 – and where we have a short residency this year.The current motto there is »Rituals That Unite Us«, so it’s all about the rituals intended to bring people closer together again – which fits in perfectly with our love theme. We are performing in Edinburgh with a programme of our choice: from Bamberg we bring our favourite pieces with us as musical calling cards. These include our widely acclaimed spotlight on Hans Rott’s First Symphony – and the exciting love triangle between this artist, who died young, and the two masters Bruckner and Mahler. We have also recently explored the close friendship between Brahms and Dvořák – and are playing two important works by these brilliant composers. As a monumental finale, our last concert in Edinburgh will feature a larger portion of Czech music together with the local Festival Chorus – with poignant compositions by Dvořák and his son-in-law Josef Suk.

On Tour: Rudolfinum Prague

Fri, Sep 6, 2024, 20:00

Rudolfinum (Prag)

Jakub Hrůša (Conductor), Julian Steckel (Cello)

We’re off to the »Golden City«! It gives us great pleasure to regularly travel with our Chief Conductor to his beloved city of Prague – where he studied and began his career as an internationally esteemed conductor. This year, we are guests at the prestigious Dvořák Festival for a residency – because the audience loves Jakub Hrůša’s captivating interpretations. The opening concert already includes two of his favourite works: Dvořák’s wistful cello concerto, about which he said: »Think of a boy who is in love – that’s the content.« His popular symphony »From the New World« is also highly emotional and has been described as an »expression of his love for his homeland from afar«. On the second evening, we celebrate Smetana’s 200th birthday: the three pieces »Richard III«, »Wallenstein’s Camp« and »Haakon Jarl« tell of love, heroism and suffering.We combine them with a milestone by Beethoven, who was a frequent guest in the Vltava metropolis – and here he even met the woman he called the »Immortal Beloved« in a letter that remains a mystery to this day. His »Symphony of Fate« captivates with its grandiose metamorphoses of the four famous notes through to the magnificent finale. To conclude our visit, we will be focussing on Mahler, who also had Bohemian roots and whose Seventh Symphony is deeply linked to our orchestral history. We are performing it at a very special location in close friendship with our fellow musicians in Prague: At the place of the premiere in 1908 – and just like back then, when our predecessor orchestra of the German opera house »topped up« the Czech Philharmonic for this monumental work, we are now playing together again, music stand to music stand.
