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.
Join us to celebrate the end of the season with an Open House at the Pierre Boulez Saal and the Barenboim-Said Akademie! Concerts, workshops, and exhibitions throughout the entire building will be dedicated to the work of George Benjamin, who will be part of the activities following his performances on the previous two evenings.
»Good evening and welcome to the radio show with the greatest hits from the last 500 years!« Something along these lines might well be the opening gambit for this concert, which school pupils have devised for other young people. Radio presenter Charlotte Oelschlegel leads us through a radio show with hits from a wide variety of different periods, along with historically accurate »news« and stories about concert life at that particular time. Everything from Bach and Mozart, to modern-day pop songs – the Orchester im Treppenhaus (Orchestra in the Stairwell), known for its unusual concert experiences, sets the scene for all of the evening’s works with great skill and spirit. An orchestra is an incredibly versatile thing, after all! The concert was devised and put together by pupils over the course of six workshops entitled »How to Concert«: They learned and put into practice everything that goes into planning a concert – from selecting a programme and artists through to lighting, staging and coming up with a title. Now they proudly present the result!
A concert featuring musicians from five countries whose grandfathers fought against each other in WWII. The program includes Shostakovich's 8th String Quartet, Copland's Violin Sonata, Golijov's "Tenebrae," and contemporary works by Jessie Montgomery and Michiru Oshimas, exploring themes of war, peace, remembrance, and hope. The concert lasts approximately 110 minutes including intermission.
