Von Puppen und Schelmen

Thu, Jan 30, 2025, 19:30

Theater und Philharmonie Essen, Alfried Krupp Saal (Essen)

Maximilian Hornung (Cello), Essener Philharmoniker, Alondra de la Parra (Conductor)

Till Eulenspiegel, first mentioned in 1510, is one of the world's most famous pranksters. Strauss composed a symphonic poem capturing Eulenspiegel's mischievous nature. Stravinsky's "Petrushka" immerses us in a vibrant fairground atmosphere where the puppet, Petrushka, comes alive. Baudelaire's poetry inspired Dutilleux's cello concerto "Tout un monde lointain," a work full of color, melancholy, and sensuality, transporting us to a mysterious world.

Orgelklänge

Thu, Feb 20, 2025, 19:30

Theater und Philharmonie Essen, Alfried Krupp Saal (Essen)

Iveta Apkalna (Organ), Essener Philharmoniker, Andrea Sanguineti (Conductor)

Camille Saint-Saëns considered his Symphony No. 3, also known as the "Organ Symphony", his most significant work. While the organ doesn't solely feature as a virtuoso instrument, it complements the orchestra, adding a unique sonic dimension. Similarly, Poulenc's colourful concerto blends sacred and lively fairground sounds. Hindemith's "Symphonic Metamorphoses" also combine contrasting elements, with his lighthearted approach to Carl Maria von Weber's romanticism meeting modern American musical influences.
