Tarmo Peltokoski

Date & Time
Thu, May 29, 2025, 20:00
16 hours of operatic drama condensed to 75 minutes: Lorin Maazel’s ›The Ring Without Words‹ is a sort of »Wagner to go« with all the orchestra hits and leitmotifs. For newbies and dyed-in-the-wool Wagnerians. At the Bayreuth premiere of the entire »Ring« in 1876, a magic lantern was even deployed. In Kaija Saariaho’s orchestral piece of the same name as well, everything revolves around light and music. The composer incorporated sensuous sounds and iridescent colours into the work.

The Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen / Fabian Müller / Tarmo Peltokoski

Wed, Oct 9, 2024, 20:00
Elbphilharmonie, Großer Saal (Hamburg)
Die Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen, Fabian Müller (Piano), Tarmo Peltokoski (Conductor)
When a world-class orchestra bestows a 21-year-old conductor with the title of principal guest conductor, this says something. But the debut by the Finn Tarmo Peltokoski on the stand for the Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen in 2021 filled the musicians with enthusiasm to such an extent that they awarded this accolade for the very first time. After his Elbphilharmonie debut in March 2023, Peltokoski is now a guest again and walks together with the Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen on the winding paths of Symphony No. 5 by Jean Sibelius. Beforehand, you can experience a soloist in Brahms’ First Piano Concerto with Fabian Müller, who is at the head of the young generation of German pianists. Johannes Brahms wrangled for a long time with the composition of symphonies; Beethoven’s legacy seemed too great for him. The idea of transforming initial symphonic plans into a piano concerto came to him in a dream: »I was absolutely delighted!« he writes to Clara Schumann. Fabian Müller, who since winning five prizes at once at the ARD International Music Competition in 2017 is a sought-after pianist, elicited enthusiastic cheers at the Elbphilharmonie together with the Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen just last year – high time to build on this success. Sibelius’ Symphony No. 5 came about in a very lengthy process. The Finnish composer was still on the search for new solutions for a genre overloaded with traditions. But the long work paid off – with this symphony, Sibelius has one of his most original and most popular works!

Orchestre national du Capitole de Toulouse / Sol Gabetta / Tarmo Peltokoski

Sun, Mar 9, 2025, 20:00
Elbphilharmonie, Großer Saal (Hamburg)
Orchestre national du Capitole de Toulouse, Sol Gabetta (Cello), Tarmo Peltokoski (Conductor)
»I wouldn’t have become a conductor if I hadn’t discovered the music of Wagner,« admits Tarmo Peltokoski, the 24-year-old rising star who will be Music Director of the Orchestre national du Capitole de Toulouse from September 2024. At his ProArte debut, the Finn, who has been hailed as the »talent of the century«, also conducts a programme that certainly has something to do with Wagner – without a single one of his works being performed. Whether Claude Debussy’s shimmering »Prélude à l’après-midi d’un faune«, Ernest Bloch’s oriental-influenced cello rhapsody »Schelomo« – a feast for star cellist Sol Gabetta – or the powerful First Symphony by Wagner fan Gustav Mahler: each of these works deals with Richard Wagner in its own way. A home game »around the corner« for Tarmo Peltokoski.

Kobekina. Die Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen. Peltokoski Wiedersehen bei Schostakowitsch

Sat, Mar 29, 2025, 19:30
Anastasia Kobekina (Cello), Die Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen, Tarmo Peltokoski (Director)
Seit 2022 ist Tarmo Peltokoski Principal Guest Conductor der Deutschen Kammerphilharmonie Bremen und hat diese Position als Erster seit der Orchestergründung inne. Noch viel bemerkenswerter ist, dass der Finne erst 24 Jahre alt ist und zu den weltweit größten Talenten am Pult zählt. Peltokoski wird Beethovens vierte Sinfonie dirigieren, die sich im Vergleich zu ihren beiden Schwesterwerken, der Dritten und Fünften, geradezu entspannt gibt. Mit der Cellistin Anastasia Kobekina betritt ein weiteres ausdrucksstarkes Talent die Bühne: Die Russin, die bereits beim letzten „Frühling“ mit einem umjubelten Konzert zu Gast war, wird das Cellokonzert Es-Dur von Schostakowitsch spielen.Das Konzert wird aufgezeichnet und am 7. April beim SWR Kultur als Mittagskonzert ab 13.05 Uhr gespielt.Zu diesem Konzert wird eine öffentliche Probe für Kinder angeboten. Weitere Informationen dazu und kostenlose Tickets gibt es hier.Anastasia Kobekina ist wie Dmitri Schostakowitsch in Russland geboren. Spielt das eine Rolle, wenn sie als Solistin sein 1. Cellokonzert spielt? 1959 ist das Werk entstanden, kurz nach dem Tod Stalins. Wie das Schreckensregime in der Musik spürbar wird, erläutern Anastasia Kobekina und Host Thilo Braun. Sie sprechen über Nervosität der Klänge, die wie Todespanik das Cellokonzert durchzieht, spüren versteckte Botschaften auf und rätseln, warum Schostakowitsch am Ende ausgerechnet Stalins Lieblingslied zitiert.-> Zu Anastasia Kobekinas Konzerten
