Joana Mallwitz Konzerthausorchester Berlin

Fri, May 23, 2025, 20:00
Theater und Philharmonie Essen, Alfried Krupp Saal (Essen)
Kian Soltani (Cello), Konzerthausorchester Berlin, Joana Mallwitz (Conductor)
At 19, Joana Mallwitz conducted her first opera, becoming Europe's youngest General Music Director eight years later. Her 2020 Salzburg Festival debut with Mozart's "Così fan tutte" was a sensational success. Now leading the Konzerthausorchester Berlin, Mallwitz believes music must go "through the head, into the heart and body." She returns to Essen's Philharmonie with Schubert's "Great C Major Symphony," a piece she performed with the orchestra in 2020.

Konzerthaus Berlin, Großer Saal (Berlin)
Konzerthausorchester Berlin, Joana Mallwitz (Conductor), Kian Soltani (Cello)
‘There is still no music that is closer to my heart than Schubert's,’ says Joana Mallwitz. This composer and his works were the ‘initial spark’ for her to become a conductor. ‘I'm really looking forward to conducting Schubert's “Great” in C major not in front of cameras and an empty hall, as I did in 2020 when I made my debut with the Konzerthausorchester due to the coronavirus, but in front of an audience. I think it's one of the best pieces ever,’ says our chief conductor. Before that, cello soloist Kian Soltani will delight you with Tchaikovsky's longing look back at the musical world of Mozart, who gave his guild the charming ‘Rococo Variations’. The programme opens with ‘D'un matin de printemps’, one of only six chamber music works that belong to the oeuvre of Lili Boulanger, who was awarded the Prix de Rome in 1913. It was composed in 1918 a few weeks before she died of tuberculosis at the age of 24 and is an impressionistic portrayal of a spring morning. .

Night Session

Sat, Jun 21, 2025, 21:30
Konzerthaus Berlin, Großer Saal (Berlin)
Konzerthausorchester Berlin, Joana Mallwitz (Conductor)
‘We tell ourselves stories through good music,’ our chief conductor Joana Mallwitz is convinced. And that's why there are once again two Night Sessions this season, which she has newly developed with and for the Konzerthaus Berlin. The concerts with the Konzerthausorchester Berlin, which start at 9.30 pm on Fridays, always revolve around a theme that she presents in an unusual stage setting and to which a guest panellist contributes a different perspective on the common topic.

8ZEHN30 – Kurzkonzert

Thu, Jun 26, 2025, 18:30
Konzerthaus Berlin, Großer Saal (Berlin)
Konzerthausorchester Berlin, Joana Mallwitz (Conductor)
The one-hour short concerts ‘8Zehn30’ on Thursdays from 18:30 at the Konzerthaus Berlin are always short and sweet: let go of everyday life and simply immerse yourself in 60 minutes of music without a break - regardless of whether the end of the working day is already in sight or another evening shift has to be put in. The orchestra musicians of the Konzerthausorchester Berlin accompany their audience through a short(er) concert evening - from the personal introduction to the after-concert drinks at the bar in the Beethoven Hall. This time, enjoy a chicken and a Russian fair drama among Punch and Judy puppets – aka Haydn's symphony No. 83 and Strawinsky's suite from Petrushka.

Konzerthausorchester Berlin, Joana Mallwitz

Fri, Jun 27, 2025, 20:00
Konzerthaus Berlin, Großer Saal (Berlin)
Konzerthausorchester Berlin, Joana Mallwitz (Conductor), Igor Levit (Piano)
The chicken that seems to cluck through the first movement of Haydn's Paris Symphony No. 83 in the second theme was not sighted there by the composer himself but, as is so often the case, by posterity. But with Haydn's numerous symphonies, epithets are certainly helpful. With ‘La Poule’ from 1785, Joana Mallwitz continues her Haydn focus at the Konzerthausorchester, which spans several seasons. This is followed by a leap into the 20th century: Béla Bartók's Third Piano Concerto, interpreted by Igor Levit, touchingly demonstrates that shortly before his death in exile in the US in 1945, the seriously ill composer managed to free himself from the gloom of his final years and write a cheerful, luminous work for his wife, the pianist Ditta Pásztory. He was only unable to orchestrate the last 17 bars himself. The suite from Stravinsky's ballet ‘Petrushka’, which takes place at an early 19th century Russian fair among Punch and Judy puppets, forms the furious conclusion to the evening.

Expeditionskonzert mit Joana Mallwitz

Sat, Jul 5, 2025, 19:00
Konzerthaus Berlin, Großer Saal (Berlin)
Konzerthausorchester Berlin, Joana Mallwitz (Conductor)
‘The expedition concerts are all about the pure joy of listening. We approach the great masterpieces of classical music from different directions, listen to the details, combine background stories and anecdotes with musical discoveries and take the audience on this journey,’ says Joana Mallwitz, describing the format. She first shares her enthusiasm at the piano, then switches to conducting the Konzerthausorchester. The entire work is then performed together - in this case, Franz Schubert's Symphony No. 9 in C major, known as ‘The Great‘, and ‘one of the best pieces ever’ for our chief conductor.
