Orchestral chamber music Philharmonic Octet Berlin

Date & Time
Wed, Jan 15, 2025, 20:00
The Philharmonic Octet is characterised by polyphonic dialogue between its individual voices; at the same time, the ensemble represents the distinctive sound of the Berliner Philharmoniker in micro format. The main work of this programme is Beethoven’s early Septet in E flat major – a work which would become one of the composer’s most popular during his lifetime. This music is rapturous and vivid, with moments of profound emotion. Beethoven wrote his First Symphony immediately afterwards, and his mature style... Read full text

The Philharmonic String Quartet and Amihai Grosz, principal violist of the Berliner Philharmoniker, present the piece in this concert. The evening will open with Erich Wolfgang Korngold’s Second String Quartet, which has a distinctive Viennese lilt. A constant in this season’s Philharmonic Chamber Music concerts is the music of our composer in residence Wolfgang Rihm.

Philharmonic chamber music Piano quintets by Mozart and Beethoven with Kit Armstrong

Tue, Feb 11, 2025, 20:00
Philharmonie Berlin, Chamber Music Hall (Berlin)
Jelka Weber (Flute), Dominik Wollenweber (Oboe), Andraž Golob (Clarinet), Stefan Schweigert (Bassoon), Johannes Lamotke (French horn), Kit Armstrong (Piano)
“It is the best thing I have written in my life”, declared Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart in 1784 of his piano quintet. Many of his most famous works had not yet been written, but the quintet remains a Mozartian jewel, with its melodic beauty and charming dialogues between the instruments. It is no wonder that the young Ludwig van Beethoven was inspired by Mozart’s example to write an equally enchanting quintet. Members of the Berliner Philharmoniker play both works with pianist Kit Armstrong. Contemporary counterpoints are provided in the form of wind quintets by Hans Werner Henze and Wolfgang Rihm.

Philharmonic chamber music: the fascination of the clarinet

Sun, Sep 15, 2024, 17:00
Philharmonie Berlin, Chamber Music Hall (Berlin)
Harry Ward (Violin), Angelo de Leo (Violin), Tobias Reifland (Viola), Solène Kermarrec (Cello), Andraž Golob (Clarinet)
The music world owes a great debt of gratitude to clarinettist Anton Stadler. After all, he inspired Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart to write a clarinet quintet which, with its yearning melodies, is one of the most beautiful works of chamber music. In turn, our Composer in Residence Wolfgang Rihm, who died in July , wrote his Four Studies for a clarinet quintet for the clarinettist and composer Jörg Widmann. According to Widmann, Rihm “understood and sensed the essence of our marvellous instrument like very few others”. Andraž Golob, bass clarinettist with the Berliner Philharmoniker since 2021, will present the two works together with colleagues.

Flute and harp take centre-stage for this concert – both in duet and in combination with other instruments. Emmanuel Pahud, principal flautist of the Berliner Philharmoniker, and solo harpist Marie-Pierre Langlamet present a programme of French music – elegant, sensuous and virtuosic – with their orchestral colleagues. Also on the programme is Rêverie française composed by Bruno Delepelaire, principal cellist of the Berliner Philharmoniker. Each concert in the series this season will feature a work by our Composer in Residence Wolfgang Rihm, who died in 2024; this time, his tautly atmospheric septet En plein air.
