Silvesterkonzert 100 Jahre "Rhapsody in Blue"
Theater und Philharmonie Essen, Alfried Krupp Saal (Essen)
100 years ago, George Gershwin premiered his "Rhapsody in Blue" in New York to a delighted audience, including Stravinsky, Kreisler, and Rachmaninoff. Considered the quintessential American concert piece—joyful, jazzy, sentimental—the WDR Funkhausorchester celebrates its anniversary with a program featuring highlights from Gershwin's Broadway hits, the Rhapsody itself, and other works.

Berlin Academy of American Music / Charlotte Thiele / Garrett Keast
Elbphilharmonie, Großer Saal (Hamburg)
The Berlin Academy of American Music cultivates the great heritage of American musical culture, but does not hide its passion for new discoveries. At the invitation of the TheaterGemeinde Hamburg, the chamber orchestra not only dances on the borderline between symphonic music and jazz with Gershwin’s snappy tone poem »An American in Paris« and three pieces by Bernstein and Copland, but also enters a world of light and shadow together with the young Dresden violinist Charlotte Thiele and a work by the American Missy Mazzoli. The world premiere of »A Mass of Stars Block the View« also awaits. Danish cellist and composer Josefine Opsahl describes her piece as »a great, cosmic and adventurous journey into the infinite universe«.
