Orchestres Démos

Thu, Jun 19, 2025, 20:00
Philharmonie de Paris, Grande salle Pierre Boulez (Paris)
Orchestre Démos Paris, Mattia Bornati (Conductor), Orchestre Démos Philharmonie de Paris, Florent Didier (Conductor)
Founded in 2010, Démos promotes cultural democratisation through the performance of orchestra music. It trains the future citizens of the 21st century by putting music at the heart of their personal development, and by giving a central place to social work. As part of an overall educational and artistic program, Démos teaches classical music to children who, for economic, social or geographical reasons, would normally not have access to this genre. The project is aimed at children aged 7 to 12 living in designated urban (“QPV”) or rural (“ZRR”) areas. Every child is given a musical instrument for three years. The different groups of children who make up an orchestra take weekly classes (lasting three and a half hours on average) divided by instrument families and given by music professionals and staff working in the social sector. They regularly come together for an orchestral rehearsal (tutti). The success of the program is, in no small part, attributable to the customised educational framework, cooperation between cultural and social players, the development of a specific collective teaching approach and the ongoing training of all parties involved. Since 2010, over 11,000 children, from all over France, have taken part in Démos. The project, initially focused on the greater Paris area, was rolled out nationally from 2015 and now has around 50 orchestras across France, including overseas territories.

Igor Levit / Berliner Barock Solisten

Tue, Apr 23, 2024, 20:00
Elbphilharmonie, Großer Saal (Hamburg)
Igor Levit (Piano), Berliner Barock Solisten
When Igor Levit takes his seat at the keyboard, one thing is for sure: you’ll hear the pieces on the programme as never before. The German-Russian pianist makes his very own mark, often as unexpected as it is brilliant, on every work he plays, whisking even veteran repertoire warhorses into the here and now. In this concert Levit is accompanied by the Berliner Barock Solisten in music by two composers who can be described without exaggeration as pinnacles of music history: Johann Sebastian Bach and his son Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach. The most famous of the Bach sons made a no less illustrious career for himself than his father, and was admired by fellow composers like Mozart, Beethoven and Haydn. In this cleverly thought-out programme, Levit and the Berlin ensemble create a father-son dialogue along entirely modern lines.

Monteverdi: Vespro della Beata Vergine

Fri, Apr 26, 2024, 20:00
Laeiszhalle, Großer Saal (Hamburg)
Les Cornets Noirs, Ensemble Delectus Cantionum (Vocal Ensemble)
It takes some confidence to dedicate a sacred work personally to the Pope. But Claudio Monteverdi was keen to reach as large an audience as possible when he published his »Vespro della Beata Vergine« in 1610. With the work, he sought to express all the facets of his compositional prowess, and the »Vespers for the Blessed Virgin« remains one of the greatest works of sacred music to this day. In 13 movements, Monteverdi demonstrates his mastery and his ability to integrate all the contrasting stylistic influences of his time into one diverse whole. The six-strong Flemish instrumental ensemble Les Cornets Noirs specialises in the music of Monteverdi’s time. Together with the singers of the Delectus Cantionum ensemble, they present a historically informed and musically expressive performance of this legendary work.

Hathor Consort / Dorothee Mields / Romina Lischka

Fri, May 17, 2024, 20:00
Laeiszhalle, Großer Saal (Hamburg)
Hathor Consort, Dorothee Mields (Soprano), Romina Lischka (Viola da gamba), Romina Lischka (Director)
What traces do wars leave on the music of the time? The Hathor Consort, a viol ensemble of to which harp, organ and cornett are added, joins forces with soprano Dorothee Mields to look for echoes of the Thirty Years’ War in the works of composers who witnessed this catastrophic period in European history. With his »Trostgedichten in Widerwertigkeit deß Kriegs«, the poet Martin Opitz wrote an influential treatise of edification in the midst of this fierce conflict that claimed the lives of around a third of the population. The composers of the age attempted to process the deep trauma of violence, hunger and utter defencelessness through their music. This programme brings together four musical witnesses of the time:Heinrich Schütz, Samuel Scheidt, Andreas Hammerschmidt and Heinrich Albert. The acclaimed Hathor Consort focuses mainly on Renaissance and Baroque music, but it regularly combines this with music from other cultures as well as with contemporary works. Dorothee Mields likewise focuses entirely on Early Music, and her clear and intimate soprano is regarded as one of today’s top voices in the field of historic performing practice.

Jakub Józef Orliński / Il Pomo d’Oro

Tue, Sep 17, 2024, 20:00
Elbphilharmonie, Großer Saal (Hamburg)
Jakub Józef Orliński (Countertenor), Il Pomo d’Oro
Jakub Józef Orliński bridges the gap between the past and the present effortlessly: with a warm, radiant voice and rousing enthusiasm, the countertenor, who has already won the OPUS KLASSIK award three times, transports his audience to centuries long past. And yet he is not an artist who loses himself in the past – on the contrary. Orliński’s sparkling charm and his sympathetically sober view of things like success and career are as unpretentious as they are contemporary. In this ProArte concert, you can look forward to his excursion into the musically incredibly rich world of the Italian Baroque.
