Selfie in the Dark

Sat, May 17, 2025, 20:00
Kölner Philharmonie (Köln)
Johanna Zimmer (Soprano), Christina Daletska (Mezzo-Soprano), Ensemble Musikfabrik (Ensemble), Emilio Pomàrico (Conductor)
Für ihn ist Komponieren eine Art Medikament gegen die Gewalt des Lebens. Georges Aperghis ist »eine unverwechselbare Stimme und ein herausragender Komponist unserer Zeit«, so die Würdigung der Ernst-von-Siemens-Musikstiftung. Bei »Selfie in the Dark« handelt es sich um einen Kompositionsauftrag des Festivals, der hier zur Uraufführung kommt – und dass der Aperghis in Erinnerung an seine verstorbene Frau Edith komponiert hat. Auf der Suche nach dem Klang der Stille hingegen komponierte Eivind Buene 2017 im norwegischen Winter »Lessons in Darkness« und imaginierte dabei das Ensemble als menschliche Gemeinschaft. Ergänzt wird das Programm durch eine:n Preisträger:in des ACHT BRÜCKEN Kompositionswettbewerbs. Gefördert durch das Kuratorium KölnMusik e.V. Gefördert durch die Kunststiftung NRWDas Konzert wird vom WDR für den Hörfunk aufgezeichnet und kann am 23. Dezember 2025 im Radio und anschließend für 30 Tage auf wdr3.de nachgehört werden.

A Dark Century

Wed, Nov 27, 2024, 19:30
Royal Festival Hall (London)
Andrey Boreyko (Conductor), Gidon Kremer (Violin), Alexander Roslavets (Narrator), Alexander Roslavets (Bass), London Philharmonic Choir
As part of the LPO’s exploration of memory, Andrey Boreyko conducts three testaments from a dark century.Three composers cry out in the void. Confronted by unimaginable horror, Schoenberg rediscovered his Jewish roots, and created a musical drama of savage, defiant courage, in tribute to the Holocaust victims. In Soviet Russia, the authorities expected Shostakovich to write a propaganda symphony: but what they got was a searing denunciation of man’s inhumanity to man – more potent, and more urgent than ever in 2024. As part of our exploration of memory, Andrey Boreyko conducts three testaments from a dark century – with the incomparable Gidon Kremer as soloist in the Violin Concerto by Mieczysław Weinberg: composer, survivor and Shostakovich’s most devoted friend.*Please note the change in artist from originally advertised.

Olivia Trummer „Light out of darkness”

Thu, Nov 14, 2024, 20:00
Piano Salon Christophori (Berlin)
Olivia Trummer (Pianistin), Olivia Trummer (Sängerin), Olivia Trummer (Komponistin)
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 vor, dringt aber auch in stille, friedvolle Tiefen ein. Wie sie dabei kunstvoll und mit größter Leichtigkeit ihr Klavierspiel mit ihrem Gesang verflechtet, ist ebenso verblüffend wie faszinierend. Die Freiheit und Natürlichkeit ihrer Darbietung, das harmonische Zusammenspiel von virtuoser Tastenkunst und ausdrucksstarkem Gesang und die spürbare Weite ihres musikalischen Horizonts machen Olivia Trummer als Künstlerin einzigartig.

SOLD OUT: Residence at the Elbphilharmonie

Wed, Jan 24, 2024, 20:00
Elbphilharmonie (Hamburg)
Jakub Hrůša (Conductor)
After last season‘s two-concert guest performance at the river Elbe in Hamburg, our orchestra is looking forward to a veritable »residency« with three programmes in the great hall of the Elbphilharmonie – by the way, already our concerts nos. 6 to 8 in this iconic landmark. Ludwig van Beethoven‘s symphonies are the link between the three programmes, each of which aims to retrace the influence of his music on the composers of the Romantic and Modern eras. This is most apparent in Richard Strauss‘s tone poem »Ein Heldenleben«, whose relationship to Beethoven‘s »Eroica« is not only evident in the title, but can also be heard musically as one listens through the work. Strauss himself wrote to his father during the composing process, ironically referring to the »Eroica«, that he was now working on a larger tone poem entitled »Heldenleben« (»Heroic Life«) »to remedy an urgent need, without a funeral march, but still in E-flat major, with lots of horns, which for once are aimed towards heroism«. Beethoven‘s 7th Symphony was soon described as the »apotheosis of dance«, particularly for its wild, dance-like finale. Stravinsky spoke highly of the »constructive power of order« in Beethoven‘s works and once said that he should be revered only for his music: »In the supreme quality of his tone material, not in the nature of his ideas, lies his true greatness«. In »Sacre du Printemps«, Stravinsky elevates the idea of dance to the archaic, the monstrous, and the juxtaposition of the two compositions, tying ritual, dance and movement into symphonic frames, is particularly attractive. Finally, in Hamburg we combine Beethoven's 5th Symphony with his 5th Piano Concerto – two model works by the composer, which in their respective genres both exerted the greatest influence on many of his successors. Our soloist Lukas Sternath in 2022 created a sensation at the International ARD Music Competition – in addition to the 1st prize, he was awarded seven special prizes, including the audience prize and the award for the best interpretation of the commissioned composition.

The power of brass, the might of the manuals

Fri, May 23, 2025, 19:30
Narodowej Orkiestry Symfonicznej Polskiego Radia, Concert Hall (Katowice)
Ireneusz Wyrwa (Organ), Piotr Nowak (Trumpet), Tomasz Hajda (Trombone), Michał Żymełka (Drums), Benedykt Matusik (Trumpet), Krzysztof Tomczyk (French horn), Jakub Urbańczyk (Tuba), Wojciech Morcinczyk (Drums)
Although the organ is traditionally associated with sacred music and grand concerts, it can also be a fascinating complement to less typical chamber settings. The untypical combinations in this year’s organ concert series provide unique sounds and new, unexpected combinations. The result? We become more open to new interpretational possibilities and free experimenting. The programme of the concert, including pieces by Petr Eben, Otto Hoser, Thierry Escaich and Craig Phillips, shows how well the organ can sound paired with brass instruments and percussion. Hear it for yourselves: a fascinating richness of new possibilities! [Alexandra Kozowicz] Concert duration: approximately 50 minutes
