NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchestra / Emanuel Ax / Alan Gilbert

Thu, Mar 27, 2025, 20:00
Elbphilharmonie, Großer Saal (Hamburg)
NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchester, Emanuel Ax (Piano), Alan Gilbert (Conductor)
Since Alan Gilbert has been chief conductor of the NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchestra, the American grand seigneur of the keyboard Emanuel Ax has returned to Hamburg with regularity. Together, the two take on one of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s most famous piano concertos: the one in D minor, K. 466. Its dark key and correspondingly dramatic gesture alone make it stand out from the composer’s piano concertos, which are usually in major keys – this is the Mozart of »Don Giovanni« and the Requiem! But the central island of tranquillity of the »Romance« with its catchy melody also enjoyed great popularity early on.

Gewandhausorchester, Alan Gilbert Dirigent

Thu, May 1, 2025, 19:30
Gewandhaus Leipzig, Großer Saal (Leipzig)
Gewandhausorchester (Orchestra), Alan Gilbert (Conductor), Frank Peter Zimmermann (Violin)
Brahms' Third Symphony, premiered in 1884, is his shortest and focuses on depth. Hans von Bülow liked it so much he played it twice in one concert. Elgar's Violin Concerto, inspired by Fritz Kreisler's praise, took four years to compose. Its premiere shook Queen's Hall, and a year later, Arthur Nikisch led another impactful performance at the Gewandhaus.

Thu, May 8, 2025, 20:00
Elbphilharmonie, Großer Saal (Hamburg)
NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchester, Leif Ove Andsnes (Piano), Alan Gilbert (Conductor)
Is it just a cliché to assume that French music is particularly sophisticated? Or is there more than just a grain of truth in it? An exciting question. Alan Gilbert and the NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchestra explore this question when they take a trip to France with Leif Ove Andsnes as part of the Hamburg International Music Festival. With three visionary works that rarely find their way into the concert hall and illuminate the festival motto »Future« in a unique way.

Alban Berg: Wozzeck

Fri, May 23, 2025, 20:00
Elbphilharmonie, Großer Saal (Hamburg)
NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchester, NDR Vokalensemble, Hamburger Alsterspatzen, Matthias Goerne (Wozzeck), Michael Weinius (Dram Major), Martin Mitterrutzner (Tenor), Peter Hoare (Captain), Falk Struckmann (Doctor), Christine Goerke (Marie), Stefanie Irányi (Mezzo-Soprano), Isaak Lee (Tenor), Fabian Kuhnen (Bass), Andreas Heinemeyer (Bariton), Dávid Csizmár (Bariton), Alan Gilbert (Conductor), Romain Gilbert (Scenic installation)
As part of the Hamburg International Music Festival, the NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchestra devotes itself to an epoch-making opera under the direction of its principal conductor Alan Gilbert: Alban Berg’s »Wozzeck«. With its sensitive and completely honest portrait of a society undermined by militarism and the abysses into which it thrusts people, the opera became one of the greatest achievements of the Weimar Republic – an achievement which continues unabated to this day. In the band of opera stars, who embody the characters in this harrowing drama, one stands out in particular: Matthias Goerne in the title role of a young soldier on the verge of insanity. Started immediately before the outbreak of the First World War, Alban Berg only found the necessary peace to complete his first opera after his military service in the Austrian army. Against the backdrop of the war years, Berg felt all the closer to his protagonist and the opera ultimately became a sounding memorial against militarism and its social impacts. A whole series of productions in opera houses in the German-speaking region soon followed the potentially scandalous Berlin premiere in 1925 – until the piece was banned by the Nazi regime as »degenerate art«. However, this could not stop the global success of this opera.

Alan Gilbert & Alisa Weilerstein

Thu, Jun 5, 2025, 20:00
Herkulessaal (München)
Alan Gilbert (Conductor), Alisa Weilerstein (Cello), Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks
More Sibelius! What fortune! After the Lemminkäinen Suite, we first take a wild ride through the night and into the liberating sunrise the Finnish composer evokes in his symphonic poem, before finally immersing ourselves in the splendid soundworld of his Fifth Symphony. Sibelius searched for this special sound throughout his life. It took him three attempts and a total of five years to complete this work, which he described as “wrestling with God.” Placed between the ride and the wrestling is a composition by Thomas Larcher, whose music The Times praised as “one of this century’s wonders”: returning into darkness is a work written for cellist Alisa Weilerstein, who recently premiered it with the New York Philharmonic. The European premiere will be performed by the BRSO conducted by Alan Gilbert.

NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchester / Kayhan Kalhor / Yo-Yo Ma / Alan Gilbert

Fri, Jun 27, 2025, 20:00
Elbphilharmonie, Großer Saal (Hamburg)
NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchester, Kayhan Kalhor (Kamancheh), Yo-Yo Ma (Cello), Alan Gilbert (Conductor)
In 2025, the NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchester will be 80 years old – an occasion to round off the 2024/25 season with a concert programme that is far from ordinary. Founded in bombed-out Hamburg in 1945, the ensemble once set an example of humanity and community in a world shattered by war, ideology and cruelty. 80 years later, this message seems more important than ever. Iranian musician Kayhan Kalhor composed his concert »Venus in the Mirror« for »peace and friendship«, which is now being launched in Hamburg.
