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

Cat Power sings Dylan

Sat, Aug 24, 2024, 20:00

Elbphilharmonie, Großer Saal (Hamburg)

Cat Power (Vocals), Henry Munson (Guitar), Adeline Jasso (Guitar), Chris Joyner (Piano), Jordan Summers (Organ), Erk Paporazi (Bass), Josh Adams (Drums)

Under the moniker Cat Power, US musician Chan Marshall has perfected the art of cover songs over the past three decades. With a melancholic, smoky voice, subtle instrumentation, and a minimalist groove, she captures the essence of the songs. Cat Power has now covered one of the most legendary concerts in pop history: Bob Dylan’s 1966 performance at the Free Trade Hall in Manchester, which became famous as a live recording mistakenly labeled »Royal Albert Hall«. You could also hear the protests of the audience when Dylan picked up the electric guitar in the second part of the concert, breaking with the purist folk tradition to transition to rock music. Three of her eleven studio albums since 1995 are cover albums, where songs by the Rolling Stones or Lana Del Rey sound as if they were originally by Cat Power. The FAZ referred to this as »everse pop«, describing it as the »re-transformation of mass-produced music into something intimate and idiosyncratic«. Cat Power reinterpreted this concert at the Royal Albert Hall in 2022 and released it as a live album. It is both a tribute to Bob Dylan and a clever reinterpretation of a pop artist who now is reviving Dylan’s legendary concert at the Grand Hall of the Elbphilharmonie as part of the Kampnagel International Summer Festival.

A long bar, dim lighting, beanbags and a relaxed audience.

Alan Gilbert, chief conductor of the NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchestra, has already dropped by with his viola. Martin Fröst, Joshua Bell, Daniel Müller-Schott, Anna Vinnitskaya and Augustin Hadelich followed with great live acts.

As a writer, speaker and moderator, he shows how philosophical ideas about justice, guilt and free will have a huge influence on our lives, in an accessible, humorous and inspiring way.This concert is part of the series Reflect with Bach.Please note: the spoken language of this series is Dutch.

Kantorow / Sitkovetsky / Power / Julien-Laferrière

Fri, Jan 10, 2025, 20:00

Laeiszhalle, Kleiner Saal (Hamburg)

Alexander Sitkovetsky (Violin), Lawrence Power (Viola), Victor Julien-Laferrière (Cello), Alexandre Kantorow (Piano)

This piano quartet proves that you do not have to belong to the same generation to make superb music together. Pianist Alexandre Kantorow, to whom the Elbphilharmonie is dedicating a special focus this season, has been on a meteoric rise for several years and has already reached major venues by his mid-twenties. Cellist Victor Julien-Laferrière and violist Lawrence Power have used their advanced career of 10 and 25 years respectively for exciting solo projects, chamber music and much more. Young blood is now encountering great experience in the contrasting Piano Quartets Nos. 1 and 2 by Johannes Brahms. Brahms’ first two piano quartets were composed at the same time in 1861, when the young composer had moved from Hamburg to Vienna and had fallen in love with Hungarian folk music. Both works culminate in a lively, dance-like finale. The other movements also radiate a great deal of joie de vivre and enthusiasm.

Art Ensemble of Chicago

Wed, May 14, 2025, 20:00

Elbphilharmonie, Großer Saal (Hamburg)

Roscoe Mitchell (Saxophon), Famoudou Don Moye (Drums), Famoudou Don Moye (Congas), Famoudou Don Moye (Percussion), Yuniya Edi Kwon (Violin), Simon Sieger (Piano), Simon Sieger (Trombone), Simon Sieger (Tuba), Junius Paul (Double bass), Junius Paul (Electric bass), Dudu Kouaté (African percussion), Dudu Kouaté (Flute), Dudu Kouaté (Vocals)

With fantastic younger musicians added to the line-up, the collective creates its usually unusual homage to its founding members, staying true to its roots and yet always with its finger on the pulse. »From Ancient to the Future« was the band’s motto right from the start and it speaks volumes about their musical positioning – not only in contemporary jazz, but when it comes to old musical traditions and new music as well. With fantastic younger musicians added to the line-up, the collective creates its usually unusual homage to its founding members, staying true to its roots and yet always with its finger on the pulse. »From Ancient to the Future« was the band’s motto right from the start and it speaks volumes about their musical positioning – not only in contemporary jazz, but when it comes to old musical traditions and new music as well. The album »The Sixth Decade – from Paris to Paris« was recorded in 2020 at the Parisian festival »Sons d’Hiver«, thus also paying homage to the place where it all began. The Guardian writes about the interplay between the old and new guard: » It’s heartwarming to hear the Art Ensemble of Chicago’s devoted heirs so ready to carry the story on.«
