Mahler Chamber Orchestra: Music from the New World

Thu, Sep 5, 2024, 20:00

Philharmonie Berlin, Main Auditorium (Berlin)

Mahler Chamber Orchestra (Orchestra), Antonello Manacorda (Conductor), Anna Prohaska (Soprano)

Antonello Manacorda and the Mahler Chamber Orchestra open our International Chamber Orchestra series with music from the “New World”. Anton Dvorak’s Ninth Symphony, written in New York, clearly expresses the influences of both indigenous and African American melodies – although the work is also unmistakably Bohemian in colour. 2024 marks the 150th birthday of the brilliant Charles Ives, the first American composer to gain truly global recognition. Anna Prohaska sings selected songs by Ives, juxtaposed with songs by Gustav Mahler, his European contemporary.

Sir Simon Rattle and the Mahler Chamber Orchestra with Mozart’s Last Symphonies

Wed, May 15, 2024, 20:00

Philharmonie Berlin, Main Auditorium (Berlin)

Mahler Chamber Orchestra (Orchestra), Sir Simon Rattle (Conductor)

Mozart’s final three symphonies reveal the composer at the absolute height of his powers, while invoking in listeners the most diverse moods and emotions. Symphony No. 39 encompasses both tension and splendour, No. 40 is full of mystery and drama, while the “Jupiter” echoes with both solemnity and triumph. Simon Rattle and the Mahler Chamber Orchestra share a special affinity for these works, which they approach with verve, transparency and a rich sense of tonal variety.
