Pre-concert talks occur in both the Small and Great Halls of the Glocke.

»Auf nach Paris!« (Off to Paris!) is the motto of the Klassische Philharmonie Bonn’s concert in February. This time, the orchestra looks to neighbouring France and has designed the programme with this in mind: it starts with Haydn’s Symphony No. 83 with the beautiful nickname »La Poule« (The Chicken). The work was composed in 1785 for the concert series »Le Concert de la Loge Olympique« and confirmed Haydn’s fame in France.
The Frankfurt Radio Symphony's chamber concerts return to the Wettenberg Winter Concerts, featuring two masterful string quintets. Beethoven's, expanded from a trio in his later years, and Bruch's, a rediscovered late work, both possess exceptional maturity. They, along with Haydn's masterful quartet, are captivating.

A handful of young musicians and ensembles from various countries are selected each year and given the opportunity to tour the concert halls and perform before international audiences. Experience shows that those who are selected as Rising Stars also have internationally successful careers.The French Quatuor Agate took their name from Brahms's incredibly beautiful second string sextet, which he dedicated to one of his great loves, Agathe von Siebold (the other being Clara Schumann). The quartet has been awarded several prizes, including for the best performance of new music at the Banff International String Quartet Competition in Canada, and the audience prize at the Verbier Festival. Their recent debut album delves deeply into Brahms, featuring all three string quartets.On the program, they also include Joseph Haydn's quartet commonly known as "The Joke," referring to his first substitution of a minuet movement with a scherzo, Italian for a joke or jest. Between Haydn's classical quartet and Korngold's restless and energetically explosive third string quartet, Quatuor Agate presents a newly composed piece by the exciting Ukrainian singer, pianist, organist, conductor, and composer Anna Korsun.Rising Stars is a unique and forward-looking collaboration between 24 of Europe’s leading concert halls, all members of the European Concert Hall Organisation (ECHO).

The renowned Venetian »Orchestra di Padova e del Veneto«, conducted by Marco Angius, and pianist Tamara Stefanovich present an extremely varied programme from three eras in the Elbphilharmonie’s Great Hall: In addition to Bartók’s Divertimento for Strings and Haydn’s popular symphony »mit dem Paukenwirbel«, Strauss’ »Burleske für Klavier und Orchester« will be performed – a work that is considered an enormous pianistic challenge: it was only five years after its composition that the work was premiered in 1890 by Liszt student Eugen d’Albert.

Beethoven's quintet originated from a late-stage trio, while Bruch's, also a late work, was long lost. Both quintets possess a unique maturity, a musical essence of many years. They captivate immediately, as does Haydn's masterful quartet. Beethoven transformed his quintet from a bold, impetuous youthful piece, while the eighty-year-old Bruch reaffirmed his traditional credo. Looking back, he quotes himself – a reminiscence and self-affirmation of his past. (Concert duration: approx. 110 minutes including intermission)

Three very different composers, but in Wellber’s hands, they’re all part of the same unforgettable story.When Omer Meir Wellber is conducting, there’s no such thing as a routine concert – every performance is a chance to make unexpected connections; to hear familiar pieces in new and fascinating ways. Haydn blows the roof off with one of his most explosive symphonies, and the teenage Mahler gets seriously emotional in a rarely-heard early gem. Add another artist who strikes sparks – violinist Nikolaj Szeps-Znaider – and Tchaikovsky’s hugely popular Violin Concerto will never have sounded more alive. Three very different composers, but in Wellber’s hands, they’re all part of the same unforgettable story.
The Gropius Quartett invites you to a chamber music festival with the world-famous cellist Camille Thomas and Boris Kuznetsov. At the beginning, the Gropius Quartet will perform a quartet by Joseph Haydn, which is not nicknamed »the joke« for nothing. Before the interval, Camille Thomas then plays works by composing cellists, a firework display of romantic melodies and virtuoso music that culminates in Boccherini’s quintet. In this quintet, the artists transport the audience to Madrid at night, while the concert concludes with Dvořák’s Piano Quintet, one of the great masterpieces of chamber music literature.
William Christie directs two titans of sacred music: Mozart’s Litaniae Lauretanae, described by Albert Einstein as ‘a marvel of art and youth’, followed by Harmoniemesse, one of Haydn’s most imposing compositions.
Trilling and chirping birds in spring, buzzing and humming bees just before a furious thunderstorm in summer, grape harvest in autumn, biting cold and falling snowflakes in winter – no artistic work describes the four seasons better than Antonio Vivaldi’s cycle of the same name. The Tschechische Kammerphilharmonie Prag will be performing it as well as Handel’s »Water Music« and Haydn’s »Farewell Symphony« in the Grand Hall of the Laeiszhalle.
Albert Roussel and Maurice Ravel paint vivid portraits of the animal kingdom, Benjamin Britten conjures up a savage parade, and Joseph Haydn takes a trip to London for his final symphony.
AAM rediscovers the glorious music of Brazilian composer José Maurício Nunes Garcia – in the company of his heroes Mozart and Haydn.

Usually, the harp is in the middle of the orchestra and caters for dreamy tonal colours – Tjasha Gafner takes it from there into the limelight and shines as a soloist. The Swiss not only won First Prize in her category at the ARD Music Competition, but also the even more sought-after audience prize. She honours two great harp virtuosos in Henriette Renié and Marcel Tournier, who composed themselves. With two of her own arrangements of Bach and Haydn, she also shows her passion to expand the repertoire for her instrument. Harpist Tjasha Gafner, born in Switzerland in 1999, completed her studies at the Juilliard School in New York under Nancy Allen, after she had completed her Masters as a soloist under Letizia Belmondo at the Haute École de Musique de Lausanne. Since 2022, she has been studying education at the Haute École de Musique de Lausanne under Sandrine Chatron. She is the prize winner of several Swiss and international competitions. Since the age of 10, she has performed in Germany, France, Hong Kong and many other countries and has been on the stage as a soloist with the chamber orchestra of the Bayerische Philharmonie, the Orchestre de Chambre de Lausanne and the London Mozart Players.
„It's the sound in particular. Nobody else has it in this way [...] . And I think it's also the way you present the music to the audience. For me, it's very important that you have very quick access to the audience.“ This is how the renowned American baroque specialist, conductor and harpsichordist William Christie describes the French ensemble Les Arts Florissants, which he has led since 1979. The Konzerthausorchester is hosting them for the first time to perform Mozart and Haydn together - the latter fits in perfectly with the orchestra's focus on Haydn's works over several seasons. The „Litaniae Lauretanae“ KV 195 from 1774 is one of four litanies or supplications that Mozart composed in Salzburg during the course of his life. The name „Lauretana“ refers to the Marian devotion reflected in it. Due to its large orchestration and virtuoso solo parts, the work is one of the „Litaniae solemnes“ that were performed in Salzburg Cathedral. Joseph Haydn's Missa in B flat major or „Harmoniemesse“ was composed in 1802 and is the last of the six great mass compositions that - alongside The Creation and The Seasons - brought his vocal works to a crowning conclusion and his last completed composition. It was given its name because of the important „harmony-filling“ role of the obbligato wind parts.
