A Persian sultan, enraged by his unfaithful wife, murders a young woman every morning. A clever princess aims to end this terror through storytelling. This frame story from "One Thousand and One Nights" inspired Rimsky-Korsakov's "Scheherazade." A solo violin portrays the princess, while the orchestra depicts her stories of storms, caravans, feasts, and flying carpets.
This chamber concert explores the chamber music of Erich Wolfgang Korngold, known for his film scores and operas. Featuring works from different stages of his life, from the complex early work Op. 1 to vocal pieces, the concert showcases the diverse palette of Korngold's chamber music and offers insights into his fascinating life and versatile work.
Götz Alsmann, a unique entertainer, delights audiences on radio and television. The music scholar presents famous works from the current Essen Philharmonic's program. With charm and humor, Alsmann shows that knowledge increases enjoyment, without needing to be a scholar to enjoy classical music.
The last chamber concert of the season features nature-themed music. It begins with Richard Strauss' romantic "Moonlight Music" from the opera "Capriccio," complemented by texts from Essen author Jörg Hilbert. Darius Milhaud's jazz-inspired "Creation of the World" follows. Max Richter's neoclassical "On The Nature of Daylight" and Astor Piazzolla's four tango pieces depicting the Latin American seasons complete the program. A panel discussion concludes the event.
This season's cross-disciplinary theme evening, "Vienna around 1900," showcases one of the world's most exciting cultural capitals. Through music, theatre, ballet, and drama, we experience facets of this city. At the turn of the century, Vienna was the cradle of numerous artistic, sociological, and political movements, where great artists lived, loved, suffered, and worked. The collaboration of music, spoken word, and dance from five departments of the Theater and Philharmonie Essen and Museum Folkwang makes "Vienna around 1900" a festive evening. We experience the city as a sensual utopia, historical inspiration, and lifestyle. On International Music Day, the evening concludes with music by Gustav Mahler, Franz Lehár, and Richard Strauss performed by the Essen Philharmonic under Wolfram-Maria Märtig.
