Against Silence. Against Anti-Semitism.

Mon, Sep 16, 2024, 20:00

Igor Levit (Piano), Chilly Gonzales (Piano), Malakoff Kowalski (Piano), Johanna Summer (Piano), Antilopen Gang (Band), Alan Gilbert (Viola), Efrat Alony (Singer), Dirk von Lowtzow (Vocals), Dirk von Lowtzow (Guitar), Wolf Biermann (Piano), Wolf Biermann (Vocals), Thees Uhlmann (Vocals), Thees Uhlmann (Guitar), sowie Michel Friedman, Tim Mälzer, Düzen Tekkal, Ronya Othmann, Giovanni di Lorenzo, und weitere Gäste

For Igor Levit, »being human« means standing up for understanding and remembrance, being loud where others remain silent. On the stage of the Grand Hall of the Elbphilharmonie, where he has already performed dozens of times, Igor Levit now gathers friends and companions for an unmistakable protest against the rise of anti-Semitism in Germany. An evening of solidarity with Michel Friedman, Efrat Alony, Alan Gilbert, Malakoff Kowalski, Düzen Tekkal, Tim Mälzer and others. Since the brutal attack on 7 October at the latest, increasingly blatant anti-Semitism has also been observed in Germany; hatred and incitement are booming. Since then, artists around Igor Levit have intervened several times to counter contempt for humanity with the power of art and the spirit of cooperation. In the Elbphilharmonie, too, all the artists involved want to make a statement that is not merely symbolic. The proceeds from the event will go to the Bornplatz Synagogue Foundation, whose new building sends a strong signal for the future of Jewish life in Germany and to OFEK e.V., a counselling centre for anti-Semitic violence and discrimination.

Igor Levit / Berliner Barock Solisten

Tue, Apr 23, 2024, 20:00

Elbphilharmonie, Großer Saal (Hamburg)

Igor Levit (Piano), Berliner Barock Solisten

When Igor Levit takes his seat at the keyboard, one thing is for sure: you’ll hear the pieces on the programme as never before. The German-Russian pianist makes his very own mark, often as unexpected as it is brilliant, on every work he plays, whisking even veteran repertoire warhorses into the here and now. In this concert Levit is accompanied by the Berliner Barock Solisten in music by two composers who can be described without exaggeration as pinnacles of music history: Johann Sebastian Bach and his son Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach. The most famous of the Bach sons made a no less illustrious career for himself than his father, and was admired by fellow composers like Mozart, Beethoven and Haydn. In this cleverly thought-out programme, Levit and the Berlin ensemble create a father-son dialogue along entirely modern lines.
