Musikfest Berlin 2024

Fri, Sep 6, 2024, 20:00

Kazuki Yamada (Conductor), Julian Prégardien (Tenor), Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin

Many people consider Julian Prégardien a Frenchman, but in fact he comes from a clan of tenors from Frankfurt. He first sang to praise the Lord as a choirboy; as a teenager, he was crazy about the rock band Nirvana. But he ultimately could not escape the family genes: a Berliner by choice, he has become a modern singer with a melts-in-your-mouth tenor voice. At the Musikfest Berlin he will transform into Mahler’s wayfarer in love, yearning for the »blue eyes of my beloved«, as it says in one of the songs.

City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra / María Dueñas / Kazuki Yamada

Thu, Mar 7, 2024, 20:00

Elbphilharmonie, Großer Saal (Hamburg)

City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra, María Dueñas (Violin), Kazuki Yamada (Conductor)

Wherever violinist María Dueñas (born in Granada in 2002) appears, audience and critics alike are full of enthusiasm. She is rightly perceived as an exceptional talent: the musician with mixed Austrian and Spanish roots impresses not only with an astonishing artistic maturity and a beautiful tone, but also with the cadenzas that she composes herself. After she won first prize at the 2021 Yehudi Menuhin Competition, Deutsche Grammophon immediately gave her an exclusive recording contract. She has devoted her first album to Beethoven’s Violin Concerto – the work she is playing in this concert. She is accompanied by the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra with its newly-appointed chief conductor Kazuki Yamada, who follows in the footsteps of several great predecessors: Sir Simon Rattle, Andris Nelsons and Mirga Gražinytė-Tyla.
