For many years now, Lunchtime Concerts have been held in the Main Hall and the Recital Hall. The concerts range from public rehearsals by the Concertgebouworkest, to chamber music performances by young up-and-coming artists.For Lunchtime Concerts you will require a free ticket, which you can buy online. Doors to the concert hall open about 30 minutes before the Lunchtime Concert starts.We offer a broad range of music: the majority of concerts include classical music, but you can sometimes hear more modern repertoire. The concert programme is announced one week in advance on our website. The concerts last thirty minutes and are free of charge. Visitors are advised that these concerts are suitable for children from six years old.
Der Jazzchor der Uni Bonn und Vocal Journey von der Hochschule für Musik und Tanz Köln nehmen das Publikum mit auf eine Reise durch faszinierende Klanglandschaften. Mit gleichermaßen kraftvollen wie empfindsamen Stimmsounds, mit mitreißenden und lässigen Grooves singen die Chöre sowohl a-cappella als auch mit Band harmonisch vielfältige Pop- und Jazzarrangements sowie Eigenkompositionen. Alle sind eingeladen, sich von der musikalischen Leidenschaft der jungen Sängerinnen und Sänger anstecken zu lassen.
‘We tell ourselves stories through good music,’ our chief conductor Joana Mallwitz is convinced. And that's why there are once again two Night Sessions this season, which she has newly developed with and for the Konzerthaus Berlin. The concerts with the Konzerthausorchester Berlin, which start at 9.30 pm on Fridays, always revolve around a theme that she presents in an unusual stage setting and to which a guest panellist contributes a different perspective on the common topic.
The landscape of Nepal stretches from tropical plains to the icy, sublime peaks of the Himalayas. Its music possesses a similarly exciting diversity. The Ensemble NIGHT brings out these hidden treasures located between rural folklore, Indian echoes and spiritual colouring. The quintet was formed in the Nepalese capital Kathmandu in 2006 by singer and multi-instrumentalist Jason Kunwar. After an initial phase as a metal band, the musicians decided to explore and preserve the cultural cosmos of the country’s more than 100 ethnic groups and languages. Accompanied by intensive field research trips to remote villages, they have developed a repertoire in which old songs and almost lost instruments come back into play. These include the paluwa flute made from fresh leaves, the three-stringed sarangi covered with sheepskin, and the Tamang stringed instrument known as the tungna. The ensemble also writes new songs based on its deep understanding of traditional music. This »new school folk« tells of spirituality as well as depicting the hardships of life in the countryside. The ensemble also documents its work on film – giving Nepal an opportunity to pass on its exciting heritage to future generations and to the world at large.
Due to the high demand, we are organising an exclusive Tango Late Night following the chamber concert "Argentinian Tango"! The Argentinian tangos from the first concert will be supplemented by further tangos in a varied line-up.
Sacral and spiritual music is the focus of this three-part evening that brings together Jewish singing traditions from several continents. The Piyut Ensemble takes its name from a form of religious Jewish poetry. Synagogue songs and music from North Africa and the Middle East are the sources of inspiration for its spiritual and artistic work, which is deeply rooted in the Jewish faith and Jewish ceremonies. The band Yemen Blues received unanimous acclaim from the audience here back in the Elbphilharmonie’s opening year. Almost seven years later, their singer Ravid Kahalani returns to Hamburg with his equally exciting ensemble Voices of Yemen. Jewish-Yemeni songs intoned with an amazing rawness to the accompaniment of an electric guitar, percussion and the relentlessly pulsating bass of Shanir Blumenkranz promise once more to lead the Hamburg audience to a state of trance, joy and ecstasy. For a number of years now, young Hassidic singers in Brooklyn have been intensively searching together for the synagogue songs of their ancestors. Sound recordings from the pre-war era provide valuable points of reference for producing historically accurate yet individual interpretations. The strong, beautiful singing exudes an uplifting joy and optimism, which probably gave their ancestors strength and solace as they experienced persecution, expulsion and flight, and were forced to start new lives in foreign countries. The Brooklyn Cantors’ programme also includes a song by Yossele Rosenblatt, who worked in Hamburg from 1906 until 1912, before he made it big in the USA. Rosenblatt is still regarded as one of the greatest cantors of all time. This video gives a taste of the Brooklyn Cantors’ impressive singing.
The »Night of the Guitars« is an ode to acoustic guitar music. Four musicians come together to create a concert evening. Original compositions and cover versions are performed in unique solo, duet and quartet performances. The speciality of the evening lies in the mix of artists who come together from all over the world. In addition to well-known luminaries from the scene, young, unknown musicians will also take to the stage. Together they create a concert evening of unrivalled virtuoso perfection.
The »Nacht Der Gitarren« brings together the world's best guitarists for a festival tour where they perform their latest original compositions and cover versions. For each tour, »Nacht Der Gitarren« presents a new line-up of guitar luminaries to create this very special evening of solo, duet and quartet performances, highlighting the virtuosity and diversity within the acoustic guitar world. The festival is exciting because not only do different cultures come together here, but younger artists also meet more experienced musicians. It is precisely this mix that makes these concerts so brilliant. Fans of the acoustic guitar always get their money's worth here, getting to know new talents or interesting established artists every time.
»The relationship with ourselves is consistent, and when it’s healed, wonderful things can come from that«, says Japanese composer and singer Hinako Omori. Wonderful music, for example, as her latest album »stillness, softness...« shows. While her previous album »a journey...« focussed on nature, she now turns her attention to the inner self. As casual as the title sounds, listeners sink into the hypnotic stream of synthesiser sounds over which Omori’s gentle voice glides. Perfect for a late night session at the Elbphilharmonie and a relaxed end to the evening. Hinako Omori performs at the invitation of Swiss singer-songwriter Sophie Hunger, who is curating an entire weekend with musical friends in March – Hunger’s »Reflektor« festival. These two artists know each other from Hunger’s album »Halluzinationen«, which they recorded together with other musicians in Omori’s adopted home of London.
