Okka von der Damerau / Levi Hammer

Sun, Mar 9, 2025, 19:30
Laeiszhalle, Kleiner Saal (Hamburg)
Okka von der Damerau (Mezzo-Soprano), Levi Hammer (Piano)
Hamburg-born, internationally renowned mezzo-soprano Okka von der Damerau and US conductor and pianist Levi Hammer met during a production of »Tristan und Isolde« in Los Angeles. It was there that the desire arose to meet artistically in Hamburg with a song recital. Johannes Brahms wrote many of his 200 songs for the alto Hermine Spies, who was famous throughout Europe in the late 20th century. She was only 36 years old and died shortly after her wedding and retreat into private life. Inspired by the songs dedicated to Hermine Spies and performed for the first time, the programme combines Brahms’ songs with Richard Wagner’s »Wesendonck Lieder« and is thus dedicated to the inexhaustible source of inspiration of unfulfilled love and longing.

Mahler Festival: Concertgebouworkest and Klaus Mäkelä - Mahler's Symphony No. 8

Fri, May 16, 2025, 20:15
Concertgebouw Orchestra, Groot Omroepkoor, Laurens Symfonisch, Le Chœur de l'Orchestre de Paris, Nationaal Kinderkoor, Klaus Mäkelä (Conductor), Hailey Clark (Soprano), Golda Schultz (Soprano), Miriam Kutrowatz (Soprano), Jennifer Johnston (Alto), Okka von der Damerau (Alto), Giorgio Berrugi (Tenor), Michael Nagy (Bariton), Tareq Nazmi (Bass)
Klaus Mäkelä has been artistic partner of the Concertgebouw Orchestra since 2022 and will become chief conductor in 2027. Earlier in this festival, he already conducted the First Symphony, today the Eighth. The Concertgebouw Orchestra shares the stage with no fewer than four vocal ensembles: the National Radio Choir, Laurens Symphonic, the Choeur de l'Orchestre de Paris and the National Children's Choir.Mahler wrote to his friend Willem Mengelberg that his Eighth Symphony was his greatest work ever. 'All the other symphonies were anticipating this.' Moreover, he experienced it as if the piece of music was dictated to him in a vision. In two monumental movements, Mahler says he sings of the entire universe. 'There are no longer human voices sounding. They are planets and suns, revolving in their orbits.' Practically speaking, it is also a rather voluminous work. Mahler did often need very many performers, and in this Mahler's 'symphony of a thousand', there are close to four hundred. Or more: in 1912, Mengelberg conducted a version with two thousand musicians and singers.
