Konzerthausorchester Berlin, William Christie

Sat, Mar 15, 2025, 20:00

Konzerthaus Berlin, Großer Saal (Berlin)

Konzerthausorchester Berlin, William Christie (Conductor), Les Arts Florissants, Melissa Petit (Soprano), Beth Taylor (Alto), Bastien Rimondi (Tenor), Andreas Wolf (Bass)

„It's the sound in particular. Nobody else has it in this way [...] . And I think it's also the way you present the music to the audience. For me, it's very important that you have very quick access to the audience.“ This is how the renowned American baroque specialist, conductor and harpsichordist William Christie describes the French ensemble Les Arts Florissants, which he has led since 1979. The Konzerthausorchester is hosting them for the first time to perform Mozart and Haydn together - the latter fits in perfectly with the orchestra's focus on Haydn's works over several seasons. The „Litaniae Lauretanae“ KV 195 from 1774 is one of four litanies or supplications that Mozart composed in Salzburg during the course of his life. The name „Lauretana“ refers to the Marian devotion reflected in it. Due to its large orchestration and virtuoso solo parts, the work is one of the „Litaniae solemnes“ that were performed in Salzburg Cathedral. Joseph Haydn's Missa in B flat major or „Harmoniemesse“ was composed in 1802 and is the last of the six great mass compositions that - alongside The Creation and The Seasons - brought his vocal works to a crowning conclusion and his last completed composition. It was given its name because of the important „harmony-filling“ role of the obbligato wind parts.

Konzerthausorchester Berlin, Christoph Eschenbach (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, they will perform Bruckner's Symphony No. 3, which the composer revised more often than any other of his nine symphonies.

Fri, Mar 28, 2025, 20:00

Konzerthaus Berlin, Großer Saal (Berlin)

Konzerthausorchester Berlin, Christoph Eschenbach (Conductor), Simon Haje (Piano)

Our former chief conductor Christoph Eschenbach is back on the podium of the Konzerthausorchester and is bringing a highly talented young pianist with him: The 19-year-old Simon Haje will play Beethoven's fourth piano concerto from 1805, which already points in the direction of Romanticism. Robert Schumann was not the only one who loved the work, which is the first of its genre to begin directly with the solo instrument. The audience also liked it extraordinarily well straight away. Bruckner's Symphony No. 3 did not fare so well at first, which is why the easily unsettled composer revised it more often than any other of his nine symphonies. It was not until 1890 (17 years after the completion of the first version) that musicians and Viennese audiences finally stopped objecting and the work was finalised!

Our honorary conductor Iván Fischer is a guarantee for unusual programmes.

Paul Hindemith, Kurt Weill and Hanns Eisler found their way to the United States via detours, but Erwin Schulhoff was interned in Prague, deported and died of tuberculosis in a camp in Bavaria.

Konzerthausorchester Berlin, RIAS Kammerchor Berlin, Justin Doyle (Conductor), Navid Kermani (Narrator), Kateryna Kasper (Soprano), Katie Bray (Alto), Robert Murray (Tenor), Hanno Müller-Brachmann (Bass), Kai Roterberg (Tenor), Jörg Genslein (Tenor), Esther Tschimpke (Soprano)

Haydn's composition is characterised by a dramatic, extremely moving emotionality that is hard to resist. It was initially conceived as a purely instrumental composition - meditation music in seven slow movements with a prelude and final movement („Il Terremoto“ - the earthquake) for a Passion service. However, when Haydn heard an arrangement of his work with a German text in Passau in 1794, he was inspired to write his own vocal version. The premiere took place in Vienna in 1796. With the flourishing of choral societies in the 19th century, this vocal version of the Seven Words became one of the most frequently performed pieces of Passion music ever.

Fri, Apr 25, 2025, 19:00

Konzerthaus Berlin, Großer Saal (Berlin)

Konzerthausorchester Berlin, Juraj Valčuha (Conductor), Nikolai Lugansky (Piano)

Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tale of the Little Mermaid is world-famous: In the depths of the sea, the mermaid swaps her fish tail for legs with the sea witch so that she can emerge into the human world. This costs her her voice. During a storm, she rescues a prince. However, he ends up marrying someone else and she, the creature of nature, has to perish as foam on the waves. Alexander Zemlinsky has captured her tragic fate in impressive, dazzling orchestral colours. Sergei Rachmaninov's Piano Concerto No. 3 is also a work full of passion and is one of the composer's most popular works. He played the New York premiere in 1909 himself and gave it the nickname ‘Concerto for Elephants’, as elephants are considered to be extremely sensitive animals. It requires both enormous technical skill and a very sensitive interpretation of the lyrical passages. In them, the composer pays homage to his Russian homeland, from which he was to flee eight years later, never to return.

Konzerthausorchester Berlin, Anja Bihlmaier (Conductor), Alexander Melnikov (Piano)

„The 'Concert Românesc' reflects my deep love for Romanian folk music and Romanian-speaking culture as such. The piece was immediately banned and only performed many decades later,“ says Ligeti about his 1951 work, which was banned at the time due to some dissonances that were considered undesirable. The Russian pianist Alexander Melnikov then takes his place among the Konzerthausorchester. In the Piano Concerto in G major from 1784, Mozart leaves old formal principles behind, including the fact that the winds are already frequently entrusted with solo tasks. The concert, conducted by Anja Bihlmaier, ends with Antonín Dvořák's Symphony No. 8, which beautifully showcases the orchestral instruments in a lyrical and melodic manner - from the waltz-loving strings to the virtuoso flute dancing along in the last movement.

Four horns and orchestra usually means that Robert Schumann's lively concert piece written in 1849 is on the programme.

The ensemble includes KHO horn player Timo Steininger. It is followed by the 10th Symphony by Dmitri Shostakovich, which was written and premiered after Stalin's death in 1953 - an extremely impressive reckoning by the composer with the past years of terror, fear and paralysis.

‘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. .

Konzerthausorchester Berlin, Ustina Dubitsky (Conductor), Leonie Hentschel (Presenter), Dorothee Kalbhenn (Presenter)

Do you ever wonder during a symphony concert im Großen Saal how the Konzerthausorchester actually manages to play together so perfectly? What does a conductor and the individual musicians in the instrumental groups contribute? Successful orchestral playing, like successful coexistence in a democratic society, is based on listening to each other and creating polyphony together. In our workshop, you can literally experience this for yourself - even without any previous musical knowledge. First, the Konzerthausorchester and conductor will perform a symphonic piece. In a moderated discussion, the musicians and conductor Sarah Ioannides demonstrate the skills required to play together. Under the guidance of a music teacher and coaches from the orchestra, you will form a workshop orchestra and gradually work on important skills of ensemble playing in subgroups: passages of the piece will be broken down to its musical essence and precisely imitated using body percussion, gestures and simple conducting techniques. In the finale, the Konzerthaus orchestra and workshop participants sit opposite each other in orchestral formation and create the music together. The orchestra plays the original unaltered, while the workshop orchestra intervenes at the appropriate points with its imitations. Experience how important each individual is for the overall success and what it means to be part of the orchestra.

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.

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.

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.
