Christina Bock falls ill, Fleur Barron replaces her.Christina Bock unfortunately had to cancel her participation in the season opening concert of the RSB on September 9th at the Philharmonie Berlin due to illness. We are delighted that Fleur Barron has agreed at short notice to take on the vocal part in Arnold Schönberg’s “Vier Lieder für Gesang und Orchester op. 22”.It began as an association of radio ensembles in a united Berlin and has grown into a solid cultural unit. Celebrate with us at the anniversary concert at the Philharmonie.The concert will be broadcast on Deutschlandfunk Kultur on 16 September 2024 at 8.03 pm.
Joana Mallwitz leads the Konzerthausorchester Berlin into her second season as Chief Conductor with a programme of dance music, which for her is ‘perfect’ for the opening of the season. What's more, our new Artist in Residence Sheku Kanneh-Mason is making his first appearance - with Antonín Dvorak's Cello Concerto, which ‘adds a particularly festive element thanks to its familiarity and elegance,’ says our chief conductor. ‘Apart from that, it goes very well with John Adams’ ‘The Chairman Dances’ and Sergei Rachmaninov's Symphonic Dances: We have three composers from three eras who went to America and dealt with issues of exile, flight and home. While abroad, they incorporated musical elements from their homeland into their works.’ We are very much looking forward to starting a 2024/25 season with you that is as full of musical energy and excitement as this opening!

The “most European” of America’s “Big Five” orchestras shuttles back and forth between the continents under its Principal Conductor Franz Welser-Möst: in America, John Adams takes inspiration from the curiosities of French Provence (“Guide to Strange Places”), while in Paris, Sergei Prokofiev is inspired by the industrial landscapes of America in his mighty Second Symphony.
