Venue

Two world premieres meet with a good old friend in the 3rd Academy Concert. Things kick off with Stefan Schäfer, principal double bass of the Hamburg Philharmonic State Orchestra, besides being a passionate chamber musician and composer. His »Reflections on a Good Morrow« is a work commissioned by the orchestra. After something new there is something familiar to follow: Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and his »Nachtmusique«. A demanding work where Mozart – yet again – exceeded the expectations of his day, composing chamber music with an almost symphonic flair.

Old meets new and the familiar meets the strange and fairytale-like in the Hamburg Philharmonic State Orchestra’s 2nd Academy Concert, when the propulsive, youthful freshness of the just-turned-seventeen Mozart meets the relatively unknown Romantic sound of Hamburg-born Ferdinand David. Things take an atmospheric turn with Ralph Vaughan Williams, whose music is a resounding reflection of his origins and homeland in England. Just like Edvard Grieg’s »Peer Gynt« from Norway.

Under the guidance of the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic’s section leaders and the School of Music in Piteå, the musicians receive intensive training in solo performance, chamber music, and orchestral playing.The academy also showcases its musicians through a series of public chamber music concerts. In this performance, they present new works by Angelo Gkamotsos, a composition student in Piteå, and by the American composer and musicologist Flannery Cunningham.Strollers and prams cannot be brought into Konserthuset Stockholm and are best left at home.

The programme for the 6th Philharmonic Concert includes a world premiere that reflects our times. Jörg Widmann, who has been in close artistic contact with Kent Nagano, particularly since the great success of his ARCHE for the opening of the Elbphilharmonie, has recently written a decidedly peaceful work in view of the global wars: »Cantata in tempore belli«. Jens Harzer takes on the role of narrator. Ida Aldrian sings the alto part.

Elbphilharmonie, Großer Saal (Hamburg)

Philharmonisches Staatsorchester Hamburg, Audi Jugendchorakademie, Mojca Erdmann (Soprano), Evan Hughes (Bariton), Kent Nagano (Conductor)

In this concert, which concludes Kent Nagano’s ten-year tenure as General Music Director, two essential strands of his concert dramaturgy for Hamburg come together. On the one hand the reference back to tradition, and the Hamburg-based composer Johannes Brahms to be precise, whose four symphonies have been performed by the Hamburg Philharmonic State Orchestra both in its Hamburg concerts and on tour in recent years. And then sounds of the present day, in the form of pioneering world premieres. A brief review conjures up performances of Widmann’s ARCHE, Dusapin’s »Waves«, and Shepherd’s »On a Clear Day«, to name just a few outstanding new works. This concert – a crowning finale and farewell at the same time – sees the premiere of a new symphony by the young Argentinian composer Alex Nante, in his inimitably dreamlike, spiritual sound language.

Hamburg Philharmonic State Orchestra / Nils Mönkemeyer / Kent Nagano

Sun, May 5, 2024, 11:00

Elbphilharmonie, Großer Saal (Hamburg)

Philharmonisches Staatsorchester Hamburg, Boglárka Pecze (Bass clarinet), Nils Mönkemeyer (Viola), Edicson Ruiz (Double bass), Kent Nagano (Conductor)

The Russian composer Vladimir Tarnopolski is certainly no stranger to contemporary music. His works have been performed at many major festivals over recent decades. He has received various prizes and released many of his works on CD. As a professor of composition at the Moscow State Tchaikovsky Conservatory, he has also passed on his knowledge to a whole generation of young composers. »Im Dunkel vor der Dämmerung« (»In the Dark before Dawn«) is the title of a new work commissioned by the Hamburg Philharmonic State Orchestra and premiered in this concert. »Sinfonia Eroica« was the title Ludwig van Beethoven gave his third symphony in 1804, a »heroic symphony composed to celebrate the memory of a great man«. Whether or not this »great man« was to be little Napoleon? At first it was, in all likelihood. But Beethoven probably decided to leave out any corresponding dedication, since the Corsican’s personal coronation as emperor was, in the composer’s eyes, a bitter betrayal of the republican ideas of the French Enlightenment. Was Beethoven himself perhaps the hero? An innovator in the context of music history? Whatever the answer, he certainly breaks new ground with his »Eroica«.
