Elbphilharmonie, Kleiner Saal (Hamburg)

Nils Mönkemeyer (Viola), Sebastián Sciaraffia (Barockgitarre), Gonzalo Manrique (Barockgitarre), Martín Bruhn (Percussion), Rubén Dubrovsky (Director), Rubén Dubrovsky (Arrangements), Rubén Dubrovsky (Colascione), Rubén Dubrovsky (Charango)

»Viola as you’ve never heard it before«: Together with Sebastián Sciaraffia, Gonzalo Manrique and Martín Bruhn, Nils Mönkemeyer and Rubén Dubrovsky explore the music of the South American continent – from Argentina to Cuba – with viola and Latin American and baroque instruments. Welcome to Blind Date! Here, anything is possible: groovy folk fiddle music, crossover string quartets, virtuosic live piano improvisation combining jazz and classical music. The imagination is boundless, but not when the surprise is revealed in advance! Included in a Blind Date ticket is a free drink – so that you can ask the evening’s artists at the bar what you just heard!

Hamburg Philharmonic State Orchestra / Nils Mönkemeyer / Kent Nagano

Mon, May 6, 2024, 20:00

Elbphilharmonie, Großer Saal (Hamburg)

Philharmonisches Staatsorchester Hamburg, Boglárka Pecze (Bass clarinet), Nils Mönkemeyer (Viola), Edicson Ruiz (Double bass), Kent Nagano (Conductor)

The Russian composer Vladimir Tarnopolski is certainly no stranger to contemporary music. His works have been performed at many major festivals over recent decades. He has received various prizes and released many of his works on CD. As a professor of composition at the Moscow State Tchaikovsky Conservatory, he has also passed on his knowledge to a whole generation of young composers. »Im Dunkel vor der Dämmerung« (»In the Dark before Dawn«) is the title of a new work commissioned by the Hamburg Philharmonic State Orchestra and premiered in this concert. »Sinfonia Eroica« was the title Ludwig van Beethoven gave his third symphony in 1804, a »heroic symphony composed to celebrate the memory of a great man«. Whether or not this »great man« was to be little Napoleon? At first it was, in all likelihood. But Beethoven probably decided to leave out any corresponding dedication, since the Corsican’s personal coronation as emperor was, in the composer’s eyes, a bitter betrayal of the republican ideas of the French Enlightenment. Was Beethoven himself perhaps the hero? An innovator in the context of music history? Whatever the answer, he certainly breaks new ground with his »Eroica«.
